Does the alleged troll have a reputation of consistently creating threads that lead into arguments, or constantly says things that irate other members. I guess it is in the manner of delivery too.

But then again you have to be careful of cyberbalkanization, where a person holds a different from the majority of the forum and the members target him and run him out of a forum because of his opinions are different. The only ones who remain in the forum are ones who subscribe to the majority opinion.

This.

Rules of the Internet

It's only entertaining to the person doing it but boring for everyone else that has to experience it.

I wish I could venture into the Lounge without having to see pages upon pages of the Morality Police ganging up on people. Someone literally called a relatively polite dude an asshole simply for having a twisted sense of humor and I just don't see how that's okay. Now don't get me wrong, he's said some seriously gross stuff and trivializing a situation where a young girl is flashed by a sexual predator is really disgusting to me, but regardless I have yet to see this guy be rude towards anyone here in any way, so let's not pretend like two wrongs make a right.

Relatively polite *******s can still be *******s.

You're confusing belief for fact again. Confusing language for reality. But langauge isn't truth. Language at it's very best, and it's rarely at it's best, can only ever point to truth.

You read a few posts by a stranger on the internet (ie you get a glimpse of naught but a shadow of a few of their thoughts) and you figure you got 'em sussed. Don't confuse grains of sand for the entire beach. You know nothing. I know nothing. So let's not pretend we do. You don't know me. I don't know you. You're pretty rude on here, but you may be lovely in real life. Same goes for people who are lovely on here, they may be horrible in real life. It doesn't take a whole lotta intelligence to realise that, and I know you're intelligent.

You don't like the way I conduct myself on these boards. I know. And I'm okay with that. Liking is always optional. But leave it at that. Don't reach for conclusions before walking the road that leads to them.
