I love this...

I love this place, really I do. Lately we've had a bunch of azzhles popping up here and there and the mods are right on top of things, bammmm, banned! It's like we're kids on a playground and up comes a bully and we as a group take none of it, bam, gone! Just sayin,,, keep up the good work everyone! Also it feels great to get in a jab to a soon to be banned jerk while his thread is still open! (You gotta be quick though, mods are super fast on this!)

What puzzles me is why. We are all a little nuts about our hobby, but it could be a lot worse than watches! What is the point of the troll? I'd open up troll corner on the last Thursday of every month, sit back and watch them roll!!!

I am fascinated trolls thrive off such joy.

Thanks Tim, although please do bear in mind that it's getting a response from you guys that keeps them coming back. Just ignore them and carry on as normal is the best course of action. Then it's just like shooting rats in a barrel.

I know Adam but every once in a while I just can't help myself. Usually I just hit the report button but sometimes, well sometimes I do get a jab in. I'll try to refrain in the future! Thanks for your hard work in keeping this a great place to be!

I think when the kids get back to school, some of this trolling will slow down.

I'm on a few forums, this is the tamest of them all, and the mods do a lot more work than most of us realize.

Thank you mods for what you do!

There are 'Trolls' and then there are the unfortunates that want to be a part of the game but struggle to make a marginally intelligent contribution.
I like to think we are magnanimous enough to cut them a little slack.
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to tell the difference...

The old saying comes to mind:
"Better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than be vocal and proven one."

It might be fun to create a"Troll"page and simply move all the trolling threads there to be held for our amusement.
