For your information, I joined FR as soon as I was able to afford my own personal computer. I found FR from TimeBomb 2000, back in the olden days before Y2K, and lurked on other computers until I could afford my own. Your snarky comment about my join date is uncalled for. I am commenting on your behavior. I never mentioned how long you have been here.

The fact that this post mentions “you people” 6 times proves that you are here to disrupt. You don’t want to learn, you just want to insult those who have tried to explain.

Next time you respond, please try to capitalize the words at the beginning of each sentence. In addition, please try to respond in a concise manner. Your verbosity is not impressive.

i’ve been called a lot of things on and off over the years on FR, but being called a troll is relatively new. I think it is because my FR membership predated the troll phenomenon. So although you are technically correct you are commenting on my behavior, the troll accusation traditionally carries an implied connotation of signing up on a bb for the specific purpose of political subterfuge. That is not the case with me, and in fact you are more vulnerable to that accusation by way of your later sign up date than i am.

as far as capitalization goes, i am no grammar not-see. but your criticism is form over substance, which is to say, relatively content free. i get my points across well enough for you people to understand. As far as my use of “you people,” again it is form over substance. It obviously triggers you. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you are so triggered about form over substance issues while avoiding discussion of the substantive issues I have raised.
