Retread troll Zotted: 2003 Yutzes of the Year List

Your list is a good start, though I could probably add some more people. Just ignore those who are badmouthing you. To the others, Republicans can do stupid things just as easily as Democrats can. We're not immune. Also, don't bother with the troll stuff with me. I've been posting here on and off for two and a half years.

Nope. It's a troll. Look at the title now.

This is JimRob's forum, it is up to him to decide how much he want to let leftist trolls promote their websites on FR. My opinion is that it serves little purpose except for providing a source for some unintentional humor.

[sonsofliberty2000]

If you know me at all from the forum you know that I am one that attacks trolls as well. This guy displayed no troll characteristics, he even stayed to show his point-of-view for awhile. I think Jim may agree with me that he is not a troll. If not I will agree to disagree and move on. Are you wishing me to leave this forum for disagreeing with you over this?

Troll or not a troll, the list is pretty good if you take it with a sense of humor. We should simply take it as a challenge to fill in the missing pieces. I'd like to see Grady Little moved to the top of the list by the way. Maybe if we added voting for King Yutz of the Year?

BTW ... maybe Rush is a shrewd political operator and "took himself out" before the drug news broke, forcing ESPN to take action on that front. You have to admit the former approach is working better than the latter ever could. Just a thought.

You are far to sensitive to perceived criticism to be a real troll hunter. :) I was merely pointing out the obvious, that this is JimRob's forum and he has final say on who posts here.

I do disagree on this particular poster though. Benign new posters rarely jump in so soon with such an elaborate post or post leftist rants without clarifying that they disagree with those rants. A troll on the other hand sees this as an opportunity to disrupt and sap FReepers morale and time.

People can debate the merits of this post or whatever, but you really should read your own post and try to correct for factual error.

Grady Little -- Red Sox Manager.

"Decision: Let's see, I can see Pedro Martinez is starting to throw like my Aunt Sarah. It's the 7th game of the World Series and we're still winning. I can pull Pedro and put in a fresh arm - probably winning the championship, taking the team to the World Series where we might win for the first time in 80+ years thus securing for myself a free ride on the shoulders of anyone in Boston for the rest of my life (or) I could leave him in, lose the game and get fired.' THE CURSE OF THE YUTZ CONTINUES."

Just to highlight the error:

"It's the 7th game of the World Series and we're still winning."

As the rest of the whine makes clear, Little and the Sox were not in the World Series at the time.

Kind of nitpicky, but if you're going to criticize others you should try not to make such obvious mistakes yourself.

Bye.

You are far to sensitive to perceived criticism to be a real troll hunter. :) I was merely pointing out the obvious, that this is JimRob's forum and he has final say on who posts here. I'll give you that one! This is why I stick to interviews and discussions here and attack occasionally. I usually only jump on trolls that are very obvious, the ones that come in and post an inflammatory and slightly literate rant, something like: "Gore is cool because mooses are 4 Dean! Go Clinton!" I do disagree on this particular poster though. Benign new posters rarely jump in so soon with such an elaborate post or post leftist rants without clarifying that they disagree with those rants. A troll on the other hand sees this as an opportunity to disrupt and sap FReepers morale and time. This might be a more intelligent troll then the usual, I will give you that. I only get upset when there seems to be a trend toward banning all dissenters. I like intelligent dissent. I wish there were more allowed that actually get to debate different issues. When I get email though calling me a bleeding heart and telling me to make my own party and get out of the GOP, I get poed. That person knows who they are, and my friends on this forum know where I stand. I'm no moderate, that is for sure. I do like to debate and have the chance to get someone over to my ideas.

Rush could have had a better year.

You have a ZOT ping list? I want to be on it!

[sweetliberty]

"They haven't left a real zot up in a long time."

Maybe it's because some of us have been nagging the mods to leave them up long enough for FReepers to barbecue them a bit before the final ZOT.

Just added you to it. I will be on vacation from Dec 19 - Jan 6. Won't be able to get to my FR from home much. Be to busy doing "honey-do's".

"Those who think everyone on the list is a Republican or a conservative are in error IMO."

EXACTLY. I KNOW that regardless of what the press says, the Enron guys were just whores-- political affiliation not important. And Martha Stewart is no friggin Republican either. I'm sure the same goes for the rest of the corporate Yutzes. The misleading thing is putting Rush first and including NO obviously identifiable partisan from the other side.

Hello. It takes some digging, but you will find that we diss Republicans and Democrats alike.

Check out the "Quotes" section, from the "Yutz List" page.

Remember, you may suggest your own Yutz as well.
