Is there a moderated recumbent group?
"JimmyMac" wrote in message oups.com... Dan B. wrote: Edward Dolan wrote: Yup, the Monkey Island scum bags are back. It will give the members of the group an opportunity to learn what real tolls are all about, better than I ever could by dredging up ancient history. I dunno...I'd classify this type of behavior more as vandalism than trolling. Vandals don't generally care about eliciting a response; they simply do as much damage as possible. Trolls, on the other hand, are generally seeking a reaction. It's the difference between yelling racial epithets while standing at a busy street corner and remotely detonating a stink bomb in a restaurant. Both are offensive, but one seeks confrontation while the other avoids it. I agree Dan. Ed Dolan wants us to believe that he is not a troll and points to this juvenile behavior as that which this is indicative of a troll whereas it is more akin to vandalisem, but your analogy doesn't quite make the point clear. It is more like the difference between getting in a guy's face and calling him a pussy and surreptitiously spray painting that same message on his garrgage door in the middle of the night. Jim McNamara ALL trolls are criminal vandals. Anyone who thinks otherwise should get his head examined. Observe the present troll carefully to get an example of what I have forever been talking about. Maybe even Jim McNamara will finally learn what a troll is.

As you yourself said, I am an expert in this respect. You fail to recognize that you fit the definition. You are in denial, but as I said before, I'll not debate the issue any further with you. The readership has already cast their ballots in this regard. The votes have been tallied and the overwhelming conclusion is that you are a troll ... end of discussion.

If you are not vandalizing a newsgroup, then you are NOT a troll. Errant opinion stated as fact. Nothing novel about that. Ed Gin and his Monkey Island scumbags are criminal vandal trolls because they do nothing but destroy a group. But I can spot such scumbags from a mile off and I do not bother reading their tripe let alone responding to it. Oh, but you have so why try to deny it??? Only Tom Sherman seems to enjoy their shenanigans. He thinks it adds fun and exceitment to the group. What do you think? I think the person or person responsible are childish, cowardly, have a lot of growing up to do, have too much time on their hands, need to get a life and are, well ... losers. They have accomplished nothing other than to garner the disdain of the readership. That's what I think.

I seriously doubt if RBT was ever polluted by a bunch of liberal asshole nut cases (all one word) like ARBR was. Note, I said WAS, but that was back then. Those days are long gone now.

So then you, responded numerous times to the "troll posts" without even reading what you were responding to ... the conundrum continues!!!. Sometimes doing battle with a troll is my stick and that is precisely why I engaged you in cyber-skirmishes. From this, you can conclude that you are indeed a troll. Thanks for the clarification in that regard. Jim McNamara But I will stand by to take on Tom Sherman if he involves himself in those troll threads. There is no free ride for him on this newsgroup.
