How about you go do something constructive with your life? Jesus, get a job or a friend or something.

Seriously, get out of your mom’s basement and see some freakin’ daylight.

You shouldn’t. God, what sort of mindset does it take to actively attempt to worsen and harm something a lot of people put time and energy into constructing?

How about wasting your time some other way? Why do you feel the need to vandalise what other people have spent time and effort constructing?

Admirable sentiment, but we’re not really supposed to call anyone a goat-botherer outside the Pit.

Sorry, it’s early and I haven’t had my coffee. I was back in the year 2000 for a second there. I apologize to the moderators for my post.

If anyone who has posted in this thread is unfamiliar with the OP, take a quick look at his posting history. His [Why the hell wasn’t I banned?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=412599) is fairly revealing.

**Malacandra** , you crack me up, dude. Good one.

As you can imagine (or should be able to), requests for ideas on how to troll other sites is frowned on here at the SDMB. We don’t care for it when people troll our board, so we don’t want to be the springboard for the trolling of other sites. Please don’t do this again.
