Why shouldn’t I feed trolls? Most of the time I’m posting here, it’s because I’m bored as hell, and watching other people react is funny as shit. Case in point… ---

I, for one, have never fed a troll; and have never even commented in a thread about trolls. ---

Well, golly. This has been an interesting read. To the gentleman who started it, I’d just like to say that I understand that when the frustrations of life become overwhelming, sometimes you just have to let it out. Life can be hard, like a turgid cock or the leathery exterior of a cactus. And sometimes life can be soft in the middle, like a flaccid cock or the squishy interior of a cactus. And I’m sure life must be extra painful for a cactus fetishist. But please, please DNFTC, because that’s just gonna hurt, turgid or flaccid. And Kobal2, thank you, sincerely, for a most insightful and amusing post (#46). It was like a ray of sunshine to my heart. ---

Can I just say, I read the title as FFT’ers and was really interested to see a pitting of those who used the Fast Fourier Transform. …oh well. (I didn’t really think that was what I was going to get. But it would have been awesome!) ---
