I can now answer MM’s orgasm truthfully. Knowing that he has been locked out has caused me to have multiple minor happiness tremors. Thanks Euty!!

That troll bazooka sure did the trick. I hope you took out his bridge with high explosives & laid some mines to ward off future infestations. Now, who volunteers to clean up the mess?

Just for the record, I haven’t banned MM yet. I’m only a mod and it takes administrator powers to do that. Besides, he has had a few (read: reeeal few) worthwhile posts. I just basically cleaned up the mess he left here in MPSIMS. But he may not be gone yet. Be on your guard.

## Ok, guys im gonna fess up here, I decided to hang up the super troll thing, a week ago I got on here cause im a fan of Cecil, but then I thought (just for the ol fun of it) i’d post some outragous stuff and see if I could evoke responses, honestly I didn’t expect anyone to respond to them (boy was I wrong!) so I kept up the joke for a while, but now i’ve decided to hang it up, it was all just an over the top character I designed to hail in responses, but im not really an asshole (just thought id tell you), it was all just a game. So im an ex-troll now and will be sincere from here on forth. It’s kinda far out , but I provoked about 500 responses. Strange huh?

I suggest changing your handle, though. No one here is likely to forget the Great Troll Attack of 2000.

Then I suggest you go to the nearest site of urban decay and find a nice street corner. There, I’m sure you’ll find lots of people who also enjoy talking to themselves.

but im not really an asshole [/qote]

You’ve got a long row to hoe to get an iota of respect here, MM.

If you think we’re going to forget very quickly how you puked all over this board, you’re mistaken.

A joke is a joke. Being a complete moron is something else.

Alright, Mike. I’m a pretty forgiving guy, so I’ll give you a break. Hell, everyone makes mistakes. Some of my first impressions were nothing to write home about either. Don’t expect others to be so magnanimus, though. You broke the number one rule, and you’re gonna have a hard time living it down.

And to everyone else: I’ve also read a couple of Mike’s saner posts, and I think he’ll be a good addition. (Keep in mind that this is an atheist talking about a believer.) Holding on to hatred only hurts the hater. Let it go and move on.

Well, you’re going to have to try very hard to convince the SDMB community that you really aren’t a troll and deserving of respect. When you give respect, you get it in return.

I doubt that I could add anything better than what I’ve already read here, so I won’t.Just add one more thing. I’m willing to give you another chance, but blow this one, and there won’t be another. Time will tell. 'Nuff said.
