I’m not interested in dealing through you in regards to a troll, that isn’t you.

Setting aside my facetious comments earlier, FR needs to do something about people who go around and baselessly accuse their brother FReepers of being trolls

Unless, of course, the poster in question actually IS a troll, which, upon further review, theknuckler33 is. Or, more accurately, was.

It's the curse of the internet... anonymous, no-cost posting tends to encourage bad manners and lack of thoughtfulness. Folks on-line tend say things, and say them in a way, that most people with manners would never do it face-to-face. We're all prone to it in some degree.

The Internet -- especially at discussion forums like this -- also tends to attract folks who are passionate about the topics on which they choose to post. And thus the ill-mannered and ill-considered responses are much closer to the surface.

It's really not much different in nature from the sort of short-attention-span twaddle that characterizes TV in particular, and to a greater lesser extent the rest of the traditional media.

Thank you very kindly for mopping up that particularly noxious spill in Aisle 7. ;)

"The knuckler is a troll"

Evidence?

Judging by the direction the thread took I guess you noticed that you may have missed the obvious evidence that was before your eyes.

Wow - You missed it. They still love you.
