**wonky** , **Clothy** , I’ve been using a Chrome extension called FairAds that basically allows you to set what type and quantity of advertisements you’re willing to see from websites, and you can customize these settings for individual websites. I find it’s a nice compromise when you want to support ad revenue for your favorite sites but not at the cost of obnoxious pop-ups.

How the fuck has he NOT been banned or at least been suspended for trolling?

Please explain how my finding the humor in these posts can be considered trolling?

This should be interesting.

No, you explain. _That_ would be trolling.

He has been [suspended](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=817278) for [del]trolling[/del] posting a calculated response designed to elicit negative responses so he can get his jollies, which is totally not trolling. Nope, nope, nope.

Clothy, denial will only get you so far. Face the facts, -_politically_- you’re a hapless moron in a sea of Kool-Aid. I’m only addressing your political orientation. I will then point the typical trump demographics, you know, uneducated, white, middle age, loser, delusional, bipedal humanoid. I think I got most of them.

And you’re laughing at us?
