I've been posting here since '98 and I can tell you ALL you'll EVER need to know about primary season and trolls. Been here, done this and that, and how it ALL works; or rather does NOT work on FR.
And the other night, we were both on the same thread where I IGNORED the troll for at least 1/2 hour, before I let into him and he kept on posting and posting and posting and POSTING whilst being completely IGNORED !
