I had about four Freepers stop by to bash me for being so mean. Out of all the posts on the thread only mine was posted to the originator. The rest were bashing me.
There by proving my point that it was not news. I had fun on that one!
I feel that someone who originates a thread, and especially someone who dares to post a vanity to chide others, should take some care with their words. But that's just me.
There's another who got banned, a newbie who was frustrated at posts running together. I thought it strange that it didn't care about its writing style, and it turned out to be an "angry poet".
Yanking the chain of trolls has its rewards, notwithstanding their defenders. ;)
