I have the image in my mind of an amorous ant crawling up an indifferent cow’s leg, all the while assuring her that he will be gentle.

Others have already pointed this out, but you probably don’t believe them (Hell, you probably won’t believe me either, but what the heck) – if you “think” that was aimed at you, then you really give yourself far too much importance. One little part mentioned the article you submitted. The rest was just a general discussion about trolls. But, hey, if you want to admit to being a troll, far be it from me to disagree.

ROFL! You truly are an idiot.

Yeah. It’s so well-researched and fact-based that you keep avoiding the opportunity to post it, 'cus you know the Teeming Millions will rip you a new asshole. I had been saving it (along with all the problems I’d scribbled in the margins while reading it), but it wasn’t worth the space. It’s in a landfill now – which is where it belongs.

Nope. A different viewpoint is fine. A viewpoint totally unsupported by facts is not. Yours was in the latter category.

ROFL! Like I said, you truly are an idiot.

Yeah. Your turn to avoid the opportunity to post your alleged evidence.

Hey… Maybe you really _are_ he-who-shall-not-be-named…

Three stars you say??? ta ha tha ree stars??? tut you cruel bastard.

My 11 year old son read your review and said, “Daddy, why did you only get 3 stars from Mr.theugly truth and most of the others got 4 or 5? Huh daddy? Are you not as talented as the rest of those guys? Dad, I thought you were the best at everything! I guess you aren’t.”

This is how he looked. ☹

Mrs. aha became curious about the whole matter and read your review. After which she sighed and said, " I have always suspected that you were a 3rd rate writer and not the \*\* real\*\* man I married. She left this morning with lil’ aha.

I am not saying that your review caused this but my boss called me in this morning and told me that the school board was thinking about a non-renewal of my contract. He confided in me that at least one board member in my district had read your SD review and had lost all confidence in me as an educator of young minds. So I will be terminated in the spring.

I haven’t seen my cat in 2 days.

So here I sat alone, a big three star loser.

theuglytruth I hope you have a merry christmas…

Well, without Trolls, your existence as a Moderator would be totally useless, and you would actually have to get up from that chair you obviously sit in 12 hours a day and get a . . GACK . . .J-O-B.

Bullshit again. David posted that comment about 3 hours before you mentioned the possibility of “posting it if the Dopers are all good”. I doubt you have ever had any intention of posting the article, and highly suspect that’s because David is correct in his assessment.

I also highly suspect your claim of getting paid $1000 to write an article about DUI laws (or any article). Perhaps you might care to provide the names of the articles and publications? No? Is it because these articles are nonexistant? Of course not. People never make false claims over the internet, right?

Perhaps the fact that it would be obvious to my parents’ dog that you’re acting _exactly like_ an idiot?

Too late to suck up now tut. Keep your half star. The damage has been done. I hope you can live with yourself.

Is this what you do all day? Monitor exactly what time David and post back and forth to each other? Scary.

Really? You think? Oh, MAN, Kit, you just busted me!!! All right I admit- Cecil really is NOT going to pay me $1000. Drat! Foiled again!!! I just canNOT put one over on you people, can I?

What articles and publications? What the hell are you talking about?

I never claimed to write “articles for publications”. Where do you get this stuff?

Perhaps the fact that it would be obvious to my parents’ dog that you’re acting _exactly like_ an idiot? \*\*

You got me on that one. Especially since my guess is that your dog has all the brains in the family.

" THE END OF OUR WORLD by Speaker for the Dead  
Is this Christmas or Halloween? God, poets are tortured souls. This poem will want to make you want to invest in Prozac and St, John’s Wort. (4 STARS) "  
That’s the IDEA. I was paid by the pharmacieutical industry to get people on their anti-depressants 🙂

TUT,

Do you realise there are limits and rules as to how posters can behave around here?

I’d say you’re walking the line, buddy. Watch your step.

TUT,

while you may be an unsympathetic grouch,

I find you kind of entertaining myself.

However, you might want to tone it down just a fraction.

Isn’t this supposed to be ‘the Pit’? I might be wrong here, but I think I’ve read/seen worse in the past.

I’m just happy that _Teemings Extras_ didn’t get reviewed as well. I would be unhappy over here in France, knowing I received a “0.5 stars” review on _Cecil Cove_. Lord knows _that_ would be the most stressful thing I’ve experienced in the last two weeks. :eek:
