Oh golly gee, I got someone to admit I’m not friendly curmudgeon. Almost… he still left it open. ---

> [@Iamnotgrumpy](#): > > Oh golly gee, I got someone to admit I’m not friendly curmudgeon. Your prose suggests that you are someone else who has been here before but the handle is currently escaping me. One of their last posts before being banned was along the lines of asking for a group hug. ---

One of the reasons, if not the main reason for not signing up and just lurking, is that anything right of center, is considered trolling. And absent trolling outside of the pit, socking is a good Scarlett letter to get someone banned. So go ahead. Report me as a troll. Report me as a sock. Then come back and apologize to me. ---

Anything presented presented in a manner designed to get a rise out of people is considered trolling. FTFY ---

As a trollfarcicalistarian, I believe there is only one troll. One troll, with many avatars, but only a single mind. It’s capacity inversely proportioned to the volume of the content produced. ---
