Somehow the title of this thread reminds me of a fairly loathsome popular song, recorded by several “artists” including someone named Luther Ingram, to wit, _If Loving You Is Wrong_, including the immortal lyrics: “I don’t wanna be right If it means sleeping alone at night I don’t wanna be right If it means coming home at night I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna I don’t wanna never, never, never be right” ---

If I may inject some kind of non-pittable words in here. I beleive the reason why our valiant Heroine \*\* Lynn Bodoni \*\* _:::: toots horn, throws confetti_ has or has not banned **Blackacre** for whom I have nothing against, nor nothing for either. is because she has been suffering from a serious migraine for the past few days. Be patient. Those that are charged with trolling usually end up hanging themselves in their own line. ---

DNFTT. She obviously is an attention whore at heart and the continued attention has her wetting herself all over the pit. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > That’s my guess, as well. Not everyone who joins here knows what trolling is and what constitues it right out of the gate. While **Blackacre** is probably a hopeless cause, I think it’s a good idea to give new posters a couple of chances to figure out the board culture and how to fit in with it before busting out the Ban Stick. Right on! As a newbie, WTF is trolling? ---
