# Jesus H.

I just wanted to add a comment about this. I don’t have much of a stake in this, as I’ve never fed a troll (unless talking to **peace** in a GQ thread counts). But my comment is in reference to **Arnold W.'s** quote from the FAQ: > [@](#): > > Q: What if I’m not sure if the person is a troll? > A: Treat the person as a user in good standing. Respond to the post if you have something useful to add, otherwise say nothing. I think that, like **weirddave** said, sometimes these threads bring out some of the best “witty rejoinders” from the teeming millions. Yeah, often these threads contain generic simpsons’ quotes, but they also sometimes contain some original responses. I know I’ve gotten more than a few laughs out of these threads. I’d consider that a useful addition, per the FAQ. One of the trademarks of Cecil’s colums is his wit…while some posters only have half of that wit, I think that the one’s who can pull it off are contributing to the board. I would hope that there would be some leeway for posters in a case such as the thread referenced here, where specific posters have been called out by the “troll.” If someone said my “[time] will come,” I would hope I would be allowed the opportunity to respond. It might feed the troll’s ego, but it also would allow the offended poster an opportunity to vent. ---

Okay, I’ve been chatting and posting now in various communities online for about 5 years. I’ve even gone to “Triv Travel” conventions where those of us who met online meet up annually to meet _gasp_ IRL and party! (so far I’ve met about 60+ people from all over the world,not many I know,but fun!!!). But (and this is a compliment), I have NEVER seen as many clever and unusual acronyms such as the ones used in this community. Is there a “legend,” or list of them? Thanks. ---

While we couldn’t muster 60 people to share in the festivities, 6 isn’t bad for a city that can only boast 3 million. It would’ve been more except for the pikers…😉 ---

Every time a troll pops up the usual suspects just have to chime in with their lame-ass “pie” and “cat food” posts. (Now watch some dickhead respond to _this_ post with a pie or cat food remark.

Maybe this should be made sticky. Or maybe a mod can make a new thread with the title “DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!!!” and made sticky. Whatever it takes to get the message across. And start warning people. Who gives a fuck if they start calling you nazis? ---
