No. I, too, came in to see if you were named.

A pipe, a tweed trilby, a beaded beard braid, and multiple big rings! A hipster quadfecta!

Cesario was a pain in the neck as people would get nicks mixed up and think I was the person (someone suggested I should add the title “not the Kiddy Diddler”).

SmashtheState and Diogenes were just total pains- especially Diogenes who had no decency or rational thought process. However he would be so hypocritical he would get my vote.

I don’t remember **Dio** primarily as a troll. I had him filed under “left-wing raving loon”.

\*\*Dio \*\*contained multitudes. More often then not, he was a thoughtful, intelligent poster. Other times, however…

Maybe he could get a job as editor at the Windsor Star:

(Edit–why does the forum software keep adding lines of blank space in my posts–anyone else keep getting that?)

I agree. He was hard to classify but what got me was the hypocrisy- when four police officers were shot dead he said “Maybe they had it coming”- and then he reported that his mother was burned to death expecting sympathy.

Maybe I just couldn’t understand his line of thinking.

I would agree that it is difficult to separate the loons from the trolls.
