It just makes the moderators' lives more difficult.

Damn you, Vader! Some of the stuff I said in that thread was cracking good satire!

Why can't you just move those threads to the Dumpster? If someone is a big enough dumbshit to troll like that, they absolutely deserve to have their idiotic words preserved on the board so that everyone can know they're an idiot.

Stop moderating the board to death, for Christ's sake!

IMO Jack's reply was dead-on and it's a shame that it's gone.

Eating trolls would explain Ja-Jira's deadly breath. :wink:

Thank you. I like making new words when the old ones just won't get the work done...

~stops to snarl at a few abject adjectives~
"And that could happen to you too if you're not careful!"

~turns back to Rick and smiles sweetly~
Anywho. Thanks.

Unfortunatley I was sleeping when all the trouble started. I have no idea what was said so I'm saying this with a blank slate.

Flame Baiters turn people away. Check out the Metroblab sometime. Nobody wants to go to a forum that is heavily populated with flame bait. Wait the majority of people anyway.

Actually, these days the situation has changed a lot. Now, on the 'Blab, the generic Scary flamers are ignored or at least not taken seriously, just kind of accepted as background noise.

The real problem now is that many of the most intelligent posters on there have a real passive-aggressive need to get into "serious" arguments, in an unnecessarily aggressive fashion, rather than simply chat about things, like friends sitting around a bar table.

Even people who basically agree with many of your ideas will, on MetroBlab, still get pedantic and haughty about how "wrong" you are when all you were doing was making a post that was just for idle amusement, not serious college-level deate.
