Who else is getting a hugh badly formatted FReepmail from Trolls? Here's the opening paragraph...

If your arguments are so bad that the only way to defend them is banning others, why do you bring them up at all? It is not me who needs to flee. How the Iraq war changed international relations. The governments of Russia, France, Germany, The Vatican, India, Indonesia, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Greece, Austria, Liechtenstein, Serbia, Brazil, Chile, Pakistan, Malaysia, the African Union with its 52 members, New Zealand, Iran, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine and demonstrators all over the world harshly criticized and warned the Bush administration, but they would not listen.

I've been hit twice today.

I got 2. Both screen names had been nuked by the time I tried to check them out. The Viking Kitties are busy today :)

[trussell]

Awe shucks, the trolls don't like me. They dont mail me, they dont call me!! I feel so unloved!!

[lelio]

A one month probation period that if someone registers, their FReepmail is inactive. It's only activated if the poster's account is actively used; three-ten posts in that probationary month.

Great idea! I was thinking along the same lines as a probationary period but couldn't figure out a way to stop a "sleeper FReeper" account from being registered. Forcing them to use it every so often will make it more difficult to do this.

That or make freepmail a $10 a year service, or free if you donate anything above $10 to FR.

Thanks all. Someone just sent me one.

[Valin]

I feel left out

As do I. I suspect a giant plot.

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Think I'll go and eat worms
Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones
See how they wriggle and squirm

HEY TROLL- HTML DOESN'T WORK IN FR MAIL YOU DUMB JACKASS I'm glad to hear that. I freep mailed someone this AM and was going to put in some bold html but decided against it since he was a freeper, he didn't need me to accent the words. - Tom

He/she/it was very concerned about Microsoft ASN buffer overflow

Is there a way to check how many posts an account has put up?

[Freedom2specul8]

LOL~

Hi Dan!

[Valin]

There there, there there.



Group hug!

[nuconvert]

What exactly is the point?
I mean it seems someone spent some time putting these together. No one reads them.......why waste that time?
Shorter ones would be annoying too.

[nuconvert]

Oh, don't feel left out........I promise next time I get one, I'll send it to you. And can I give the troll a fowarding address?

[mabelkitty]

Don't feel so bad.
I've been here all day, and I've contributed any number of personal opinions and unsubstantiated theories, yet trolls have totally ignored me ; )

I bet it's because I'm a chick. This is so bogus.

Oooh. Watching Chris Wallace repeat on - Kerry was pretty defensive on Imus. Wallace is talking about Kerry's denial on the intern issue.

Kerry's denial is what started the media coverage, according to Brit Hume.

[longtermmemmory]

I am pretty regular here, what gets me is old accounts that have regular postings that I have never seen before. Most are borderline, but how to tell?

[Tijeras_Slim]

No one reads them.......why waste that time?

I guess Noam Chomsky is their hero, no one reads him either.

[nuconvert]

INCOMING!!!

I replied to

in a thread about Angel being cancelled.

Perhaps it is one account is being used to generate the contacts for the other two. A tripwire?

[trussell]

Feel all better now, thank you!!

[alnitak]

Hmm..I just noticed the "find user" search option and checked up on him. He seems to be a genuine freeper, he has been VERY active in the last few days.

But if he wants me to give up my weekends trawling through British public records he's going to have to send some of that CRP money my way :-)


-- alnitak is currently reading "The Final Days", having just dealt with "All The President's Men".

This list is demented and sad.
