Default Feeding the resident troll

May I respectfully draw the attention of the lovely denizens of u.r.c. that
responding to the local troll is playing exactly into its festering paws.
The best way to deal with a troll is to starve it of the oxygen of
responding - *any* responding. Kill-files are your friend.

Kill file created, containing only one person.

I don't know.

Anyway, some idiot the other day was saying that wheels stand on their
spokes when everyone knows that they hang from them.

That kind of person would ride an aluminium bike despite the fact that
everyone knows that aluminium frames break all the time.

They probably have the kind of death wish that means they ride on the
roads without a helmet.

I'm sure they wouldn't pay any road tax or stop at red lights.

Bet you didn't know I lived under a bridge, did you?

Well, actually, you may not.
I reserve the right to use my killfile as I please and I don't like these
"suggestions" as to how it should be used.

Grow up.

While I fully support your rights, for the sake of those who don't
want to read what young Matt has to say, I recommend prefixing replies
[CITC], that makes it trivial, for those who want to read young Matt's
drivel, to killfile the thread.

Grow up.


Now *that* was unnecessary.

Nah, someone with a *real* death wish rides around wearing bibshorts.
