Thanks, Larry! I have sometimes wondered what a "Troll" was, exactly...

I used to hate when you'd ban one, then he'd creep right back in with a different name and you'd have to keep going back and forth between here and the admin board to keep banning him. I guess they just didn't get the idea of an IP address

I participate in many different forums and I must say that the troll factor here is minimal! Way to keep it classy guys! Its quite refreshing to talk to an adult now and then.

Yes Craig got to agree there mate.

Trolls etc.

These pathetic creatures have such unfulfilling lives the only way they can confirm there sorry existence is by boasting continually about their 'achievements' and their 'stuff they own',or knocking the main forums themes,trying to get there so needed attention.

Most Bragger knocker Trolls are socially inept, and disliked by everyone they come into contact with. With no friends and limited social outlets, they throw themselves into their work. Eventually this takes over their lives, resulting in a total imbalance between work and play. With little else to talk about except their job or business, they fill their conversations with tales of promotion, brokering hugely important business deals, their powerful contacts and most importantly the stuff that they own,and how much its worth,or moan about how bad its been.

Many of these sad individuals have reached middle age. With the best years behind them and little to look forward to. They cling to past glories, countlessly retelling the same sad stories over and over again.

Unable to come to terms with the fact that people are living far more fulfilling lives than they are. They find solace in continually sometimes, reminding everyone of their material wealth, and perceived social status. Seemingly unaware that boasting of their so called knowledge acumen, or their 'stuff'or faults in stuff. Resulting in them being perceived as a even bigger tosser, they further isolate themselves from society with their pointless c~ck waving grandeur,and endless moaning,or posting repeat after repeat of pointless crap to questions that have been already answered.

Eventually these specimens are shunned by society altogether; and thats the way it should be. But in the 90's a revolution took place that meant the natural order of things was disturbed. Now some of these individuals have found respite in the Internet, and can be found inhabiting message and forum boards. Here they can brag knock and troll, to their hearts content. Safe in the knowledge that they have a captive audience bound by the unwritten laws of etiquette, that stifles most other forums. But not on TRF, this is a fun place to hang out,with fine members,and thats the way we want it kept.

In this fertile environment the bragger knocker troll, thinks he has found acceptance at long last. Drunk on the heady fumes of their ill perceived Camaraderie, the ego inflates to enormous proportions. All negative comments are now met with an unerring sense of esteem and self righteousness.

Eventually the Bragger or troll, no longer inhabits the realms of reality. He has become an entity so vile and detestable that his very essence makes people recoil and vomit, so lets keep TRF, the happy friendly fun place, and bragger, Knocker, troll free.

I'm sure we all know, or knew at least one.
No disrespect to anyone past or future.
