Anyone Else Notice?

Tater did a fine job shutting own dissent a few days ago. Well done.

I saw at least 2 of the culprits keep it going between themselves until the thread was hijacked, and subsequently closed by tater.

I wonder what happened to those two trolls?

I noticed. Had a lot of fun doing the hijacking too,but to be fair I couldn't have done it by myself. Frankly,it was the most fun I've had this year so far.

If you want my two cents, which you most probably don't, is that bringing this shit up again and again aint gonna help anyone :)

Do you wonder what happened to Ark (who trolled hard), and to RoadR who trolled hard? Seems like they stopped chirping as much. Maybe it was the threats they received...I dunno.

Anyway, I'm still feeling a little unsatisfied by the whole thing. Clearly alot of blame to go around, and only 2 folks shouldering.

Yes, I get that I'm going against the grain again, call me a fool for fairness.

XYZ, it is not intended to help anyone. I thank you for the feedback. It is intended to bring the process as a whole to closure. It is clear to me that folks have decided a direction based on knowledge prior to RoadR and Ark continuing their feud into 2 or 3 other venues. I wonder if that will change the outcome of warnings, and result in those deserving getting their just reward. In other words, yes, I am prodding it along. :)

Of course, I could be silenced before long too...so, that is the risk I take.

I suppose in retrospect, in order to call on a troll one must define what a troll is.......

Well, further to that, the mods/owners should define what a troll is, rather than random membership proclaiming 'Troll' from their own respective corners of understanding.

Are the Whakamoles Trolls, maybe? Seems that of late they are.

Look I for one respect that.

We all know what a troll is. If we need a defintion, I'm sure we can find it. What I do not find is a group of folks leading our site that indicate they may have reacted in a way that favored a couple of trolls. For me, that is an issue.

Like here is a thought for the unwary......

Perhaps we should put this messageboard on it's side and hydroseperate it, then, we could take all the good stuff from the middle and leave all the less than desirable elements outside the cut?

I think they refer to it as being polite.

In this case, you may be correct. My apologies.

But, if there was a big white elephant in the room, hey, what would you say it was?

I reckon the self appointed Troll Spotters around here wouldn't know what a troll was if one bit them on the arse.

Did anyone actually try that approach to cuts as Odin suggested, I know i caused a storm of responses but not sure if anyone went through the effort of trying to disprove it

It is big, right, and pretty white, ok, and, you couldn't miss it you could drive a truck through it and butcher it of course.

Yeah, I did, but I wasn't going to live long enough to get any worthwhile separation.

I reckon so too. Did you notice?

Tater did, and shut it down a couple of times. The problem is that it kept on...long after the discipline was handed down. And in at least 2 other threads.

yeah he was always good for stirring the pot and step back and watch the folks here fall over themselves trying to tell him to cop on without telling him to eff off.

Hey, if you had read the entire site you would see that the devotaries of Odin said it work.

Odin should be punished. :)

Except his gin is great.

I see some big honey baked hams, some ugly non fermentable ivory, and tiger food. I wish I could close the story in the way you wished xy, but my limited imagination is incapable of operating on your plane.

Never a better time than the present. Sounds like a tangerine minus the fruit is in your near future.
