If you could link a bunch of stuff that I posted that is so-called trolling then I’m sure you would. As it is, you are doing nothing but making a hollow, like your head, accusation. You actually have a huge thread on California seceding that you cowardly abandoned which is either a huge troll or just straight up delusional. ---

**Cherry Pie Recipe** TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling MAKES: 8 servings Ingredients 1-1/4 cups sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 cup cherry juice blend 4 cups fresh tart cherries, pitted or frozen pitted tart cherries, thawed 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon almond extract PASTRY: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup shortening 5 to 7 tablespoons cold water Directions In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir in cherry juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Add the cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and extract; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add cold water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Divide pastry in half so that one ball is slightly larger than the other. On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger ball to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate; trim even with edge of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°; bake 45-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings. ---

What I don’t get is the creepy e-stalking vibe you put out. It’s not healthy. Don’t you have a wife or something of the sort for companionship? You think I’m trying to seduce you by telling you you have shit for brains? Well, I suppose it’s relatively complimentary considering what most people think of you. Seek flattery where you can. And stalking you would be unnecessary. You’re all over the Pit. Unfortunately you can’t be avoided. Since I can’t put you on ignore I can at least insult you. ---

All over the Pit? Are you that senile? I post in only a couple of Pit threads at a time and usually keep on topic and civil up until the point someone from the drooling retard brigade randomly insults me. But yes, you do demonstrate stalkerish tendencies and it is a bit creepy. ---
