Pizzle, are you honestly saying you created a thread just to be controversial and get responses? I suggest you check this out. [What is a troll?](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mtroll.html) Also, I found this quote on the net recently. Consider: “There is in human nature a general inclination to make people stare; and every wise man has himself to cure of it, and does cure himself. If you wish to make people stare by doing better than others, why, make them stare till they stare their eyes out. But consider how easy it is to make people stare by being absurd. I may do it by going into a drawing-room without my shoes.” -Samuel Johnson ---

I poked through that link…it’s very interesting. But, I don’t consider myself a troll. “The teen may not know or care one way or the other–he just wants a reaction. He wants to piss people off. He is a troll.” I do know and care about being slashed. My post was reasonable, perhaps a tad angry, but it did have a purpose. It is mildly controvertial, not trying to piss people off. ---

Also: “A post I consider trolling someone else may find thought-provoking” Another quote from the article ---

Mr. Pizzle said: > [@](#): > > “My controvertial post got the desired affect, as it generated over 30 replies and 400 views in less than 12 hours.” Well, Mr. Pizzle, you have obviously become an overnight sensation here. Legendary figures of your caliber are a rarity. This is why I stand on ceremony and address you as Mr. Pizzle. Out of respect, co-mingled with awe and yes, fear. At any rate, I won’t be addressing you again, Mr. Pizzle. I’m simply unworthy. Before I go, if I may be permitted: Now that you’re on a roll, you should tell that guy Coldfire where to get off. Give him a cyber ass kicking and you’ll be crowned King. ---

Hey Wally, lets give Pizzle another chance? He started out on a bad foot, thats for sure. But, he was able to quote a funny Simpsons quote, and he truly seems apologetic. heeheehee. “Dig Up” Its funny, cuz its true. pat ---

Heck, Pat. I didn’t even flame Mr. Pizzle. I’ve been a modicum of civility. Mr. Pizzle probably thought that all kinds of people would flock to his thread and commiserate about what a cranky old fart Wally is. Mr. Pizzle can have all the chances he wants. It’s out of my hands. I’m just a poster. Although some people might wonder what Mr. Pizzle, with less than 50 posts, was thinking when he opened two stupid threads in a row, in the _pit_ yet. ---

Thanks Pat. I do love the simpsons, and yes I am VERY sincerley sorry for starting such a stupid thread. It did have trollish tendancies to it. I did not really help my case when I said that comment about the high responses and such, 'cuz that’s what a troll would want. However, I was merely trying to start a thread that people would want to read and tell me I was full of it, or that Mr. 7 was a bit crusty. Boundries were over-stepped, lessons (well, lesson) were learned, paraiahs were crucified etc. Please…can we move on? maybe I’ll go down in history as the schmuck who pisses off the most people in the shortest time. ::stands on soap box:: YES!! I, PIZZLE BOY, HAVE ACTED LIKE A STUPID TROLL AND SHOULD NOT HAVE STOMPED ON THE FEET OF WELL RESPECTED POSTERS! ::extends hand of friendship to WallyM7:: ---

I know how much respect you have for language, so I should point out that a “modicum” is a measurement of a thing, not a thing in and of itself.

“one…he told me i had penut butter for brains” I’m quite sure he told you that you have peanut butter for brains… being that Wally can spell… but then again there is this whole, “forgiveness” thing going on here so who can say? Delta-9 – in a much loved MST of mine one of the main characters pronounced telekinesis, as “tele-kenis”… as if to rhyme with penis… so… in order to raise your hand… I would be doing that which most in my state would consider a crime! Pizzle Boy – pizzle, oft used in place of penis, wank, pecker or dick… the boy part should be obvious in that it is associated with immature, uneducated, undeveloped… so Pizzle Boy must mean “immature penis”. I could be wrong. Gods know that I so oft am. But I doubt I am here. I know, I know, everyone’s so ready to kiss and make up… but really, what does this name REALLY mean? Grendel69 – that puts her so close to Byzantine… don’t go there. Really. Don’t! I can’t jump all over this guy so, uh… I guess I can jump all over you… That’s a mighty fine skirt you are wearing… tight… slim… sigh… I should just go to bed, right? Right. I’m out of here, folks! ---
