A big fat troll outing to: (drumroll) Jedi667! He shows up asking for information on punctuated equilibrium, saying that he can’t understand it, then when it is explained to him, starts another thread telling everyone they’re wrong, and then starts TWO more threads telling us we’re all jerks! All in less than an hour! This guy makes Palidors look like Satan. Everybody go over to the Great Debates and see for yourselves!
Modest? You bet I’m modest! I am the queen of modesty!
Easy, Drain. It’s Wally. He A) didn’t get along with C#3, IIRC, and B) has a strange mode of humor. Just ignore Wally and Slythe and go on about your challenge to the mods on Con’s getting the boot.
I just came to the Pit to start a similar thread, but you beat me to it. Anyway, he seems to be succeeding with his trolling. Will anyone be able to ignore him?
a) are only looking to cause trouble
b) think the resulting chaos is funny, and
c) are only useful for flaming and seeing the response.
This is why one flames trolls, because invective is where they shine. Too often on this Board idiots are called trolls. Jedi, I believe, is merely a ill-informed fundamentalist. If he were a troll, he’d be more irritating and less stupid. Palidors was an idiot who became a troll because he reacted badly to criticism. That happens a lot, too.
Just my two cents,

Miksch’s Law- It’s better to have a horrible ending than horrors without end.
Well, we’ve tried patient and reasonable with bj0rn and the fucker is still here, obviously. So now we’ve resorted to all sorts of namecalling. Still trying to gat through his 3-feet-thick skull though. So yeah, maybe a couple of clubs would come in handy…
Unless of course, bj0rn was referring to a soon-to-be-incorporated Straight Dope Message Board Troll Extermination Squad (SDMBTES). You’re never quite sure just what this little gnome means…
coldfire: ive seen about one-trying-to-be-patiant post from you. you know which one im talking about. well at least you should know because you bloody well wrote it
oh…yes, and iceland is famed for its little gnomes. whats the matter, ran out of lava and geyser comments??
now, now coldfire. calm down, there is another thread where you are yelling at me. i have given you no reason whatsoever to do that here. (notice how i do not mention how i have given you no reason whatsoever to pick on me. you accomplished that all by yourself, arent you proud??)
Björn is right. You need to just take the time to understand him, Coldfire. Grammar and punctuation are irrelevant to understanding someone’s written words. And regardless, you can’t judge someone by his words.
Granted, bad spelling and grammar doesn’t make a person incomprehensible PER SE. But bj0rn is incomprehensible no matter how he spells, punctuates or forms sentences.
Andros, you’re trying to tell me that I can’t judge somebody by his words. Now, would you then PLEASE explain to me how the HELL I’m supposed to judge a person on a WRITTEN MESSAGE BOARD other than by his words ?
So no, I won’t chill or lighten up. Bj0rn is a nuisance and must be stopped.
Clubs available at Ye Olde Coldfire Arsenal Shoppe. 10 bucks each. Who’s buying ?
Yeah, bj(zero)rn is getting pretty damned annoying. I had a short interval recently where I enjoyed tormenting the little clown, but it got old fast. Coldfire, you are correct, he’s completely incomprehensible, but if you think he’s bad here, just drop by his website and click a few links.
Now on to the transaction. Clubs, I’ll take two; I’ve got two hands, don’t I.

Dopeler effect:
The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
