	I hate having to scroll down through 60 or 80 messages to get to the next thread when there is no meaningful content in those messages. It would be different if there were genuine debate occuring, but they ain't. I don't mind scrolling past other types of thread that don't interest me, but his are just so pointless. 'Course, I don't blame him, any more than I blame Decker for the inanities he posts (at least his are often funny; not as funny as Eddies, but funny). I blame the people who reply; "feeding the sick puppy", we call it.

I can't help but wondering why such a blatant troll is allowed free reign... Wilko New

He doesn't really cross the line, I think. Rahark1 New

Yep, I've stopped responding to him too. Still, the simple fact that he stops responding *after* someone has been baited Wilko New

Speaking only for myself... funkmop New

The UA, the whole UA, and nothing but the UA, so help you God Stifler New

I think don't think it's always an issue of ideology snowwrestler New

I also hear it's a big "butt." julesagogo New

Yep, it's a fine line all right. Still, I think that the way a forum's atmosphere is influenced... Wilko New

I'll weigh in on this. I've pretty much completely ignored any BoB TL post for a while now. However, we do have a way GRITS New

That's my approach: I never reply directly to him, and rarely post to any thread he starts. Oci-One.Kanubi New
So if we, as the People of the Lounge stop responding directly to a troll's post julesagogo New
Well said, Jill. Wilko New

As opposed to Louie?? lrcable New

That's kind of my point - if we start "interpreting" the intent as opposed to simply reading what was written... funkmop New

We as a society seem to be losing the ability to have civil discourse lrcable New

I have thought about that. I was wondering if people would still show as much road rage if their faces were projected... Wilko New

I would say that BoB is the best example of that snowwrestler New

I seldom read his posts, but a lot of the responses seem a bit more than slogans lrcable New

I would say the troll <NT> snowwrestler New

Don't get me wrong, I understand the pruning the bush approach, and I've been pretty much comfortable with it for many.. Wilko New

At least we know Louie and Albert are real people who believe what they write <NT> snowwrestler New

Albert is generally civil lrcable New
I think that you touched a very important point there. <NT> Wilko New
