Just to clear the air a bit.

When a certain unmentionable poster sent me that Freepmail last night...

LOL! What a riot.

Seriously, though, being a good troll requires many of the same skills as being a good poker player: subtlety, patience, self control, inscrutibility, unpredictability, and a willingness and ability to vary one's tactics. The poster in question is utterly lacking in all of these skills. It is a discredit to all of us, on both sides of the crevo fence, that such an inept disruptor ever succeeded in disrupting to any degree. But, by the same token, an inept poker player may take a few pots intitially just because the other players incorrectly assume he's not the incredible fool he appears to be. Once the other players have his number, though, and that won't take long, the fool is dead meat and might as well find another game.

In the light of these recent and most illuminating developments, I shall continue to abide by the terms of the agreement. And I also plan to keep my Virtual Ignore switch turned on. Now, more than ever, it's clear that some posters absolutely must be ignored.
