Thank's anyway.

Well with a title like How Many Folk Want The Idiot's To Take Over? and two rather stupid poll questions I didn't expect anyone to actually take it seriously, in fact I expected my favourite mod to move it straight into 'Anything Goes', (perhaps I should have put it there in the first place?).

I think DIG sussed it in the first few moments hence my reply to him with:-


Less, are you admitting you've been trolling? Shame on you sir, although if you were it worked!(pretend smiling smilie here).
Personally I find the 'Idiots' liven things up and as they usually appear to go too far are soon dealt with by the moderators( good job well done). I never know why they're banned but they must have asked for it.
We all have the option to ignore them, tolerate them or go in for the kill. They have their options.

Lets face it, it's only a game, like football(isn't that right, Wynonie?).

According to wikipedia:-

Quote:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[
So it can't be extraneous, as it was the thread starter.
it can't be off-topic, for the same reason.
Nor can it be classed as intending an emotional response, as I expected a, don't be such a daft sod type response.

So, no I don't admit to trolling.:D

You're wriggling!
You know better than most on here some people take life perhaps more seriously than they should and would bite!
I'm obviously not referring to the ladies on here, that would be trolling.

No, Gordon. footy's far more important (as I'm sure you were expecting me to say!). As for Accyweb, as one departed member said, "it's words on a computer screen, it's not real life!" ;)

That was me. But since it isn't always clear if you are joking or not; I wrote my opinion if the thread was serious and voted No, never attack them they should be allowed full control just in case

Dear Neil, please can AudiBMWGuy come out to play again, as us rough lads want to scrag him and nick his dinner money. ;)

Should we all gather round in a circle and start shouting "Fight,fight,fight!"?:eek:

Why not all have an honest game of British bulldogs instead then you can get away with it scot free, instead of the dinner ladies sending you to me for a bit of a ticking off...

I can't decide whether to oil my cane out or stick to the ruler over your knuckles - perhaps we could have pole about your preferred punishment.:rolleyes:

I must warn you my technique is particularly refined, if a little theatrical -think fifty shades of whiter than white:eek:;):D

If all else fails you may be required to wash out the class's paint pots...

On second thoughts, maybe we'll just duff him up behind the bike sheds when nobody's looking! ;)

I was informed privately of a member's age, and also other issues, which gave me a little more understanding about their sometimes obsessive interest in certain things.

As Marg P. said earlier, when someone new joins, who does turn out to be an internet troll, someone who knowingly writes inflammatory posts, purely to gain attention, the best thing to do is to try not to respond.

Trolls are tiresome, and we've seen many come and go on here over the years.

They rarely seem to have much staying power. Bless 'em.

If a new member plays the fool, I'll happily help them achieve this.

One of my own favourites was the photographer who said his civil liberties were under attack, when he was questioned by the police in Accy.

I found evidence he was actually a member of various Irish para-military organisations, whose stated aim was to create conflict with our police forces.

He came on here threatening to sue.

He didn't.

Unsuprisingly, when faced with all the evidence.

The forum has rules, and it's always wise to keep them in mind when posting.

That way you can sail close to the wind, but you never get banned.

Well I haven't...so far.

:rolleyes:
