Hi Ed, it’s me again aha, your pal. Hope everything is going ok for you today.
I have a suggestion, read it when time permits and let us know what you think. As always if you don’t have time to answer, well hell no big deal…I know you are getting ready for our big golf game on Saturday…oopps did I let that out? ( I didn’t tell anyone that you agreed to caddy for both of us. We have * got * to get a cart cause I know those clubs must be heavy.)
Well on to my point.
The trolls on this board, as you know, have been getting pretty thick. They have even accused some of us on this board of being clannish. Well they are probably right. You know if wanting to post to only intelligent people is being clannish then hey…I’m guilty.
Ok Ed, here is my idea and dammit don’t agree with me just cause we are close friends now, ok?
Why not use your awesome power to create a new forum. We’ll call it…ahem sorry, *You’ll * call it “The Troll Forum.”
If it is possible to set the board up in this manner, it might work like this. When you are any of your esteemed moderators deem that someone is obviously a troll and not interested in contributing anything to the board and being a general pain in the ass… don’t ban them completely, allow them to post in the “Troll Forum” only. That way, they can enjoy each other’s idiot-like behavior to the maximum.
In the “Troll Forum”, they could be free to just share and wallow in their own ignorance and spread it around like so many pigs in shit. It might even satisfy the trolls so much that they would be deterred from re-registering under different names once they have been banned. Just imagine, if you will, an entire forum jamb packed with high foreheaded, mentally challenged, dick heads all working alive in their own sorry assed rhetoric. That would be a sight for sore eyes. And maybe once a year we could all gather around and watch while you just delete the entire pitiful bunch in one stroke.
I know that you or the Reader don’t owe these bastards anything but hell, it’s possible Ed, you might walk away with a pulitzer on this one.
Of course identifying a troll is not that easy. I don’t know what the definition of a troll is for sure, but I think I know one when I see one. I am betting you do too. Naturally it would have to be a unilateral decision on your and the moderators parts as to who is a shit-eating troll and who isn’t, but what the hell that’s the way it works anyway, right?
Ok pal see you on Saturday. We’ll talk about it over a beer. ( Your treat of course.)
One of the few to be personally welcomed to this board by Ed Zotti.
Yours truly,
aha
