Fair play though - Re-reading your post there is a middle ground:

'Arch Troll' contrives 'Troll HQ' to further his ambitions ?

- But in reality this is just Marketing. There are no 'trolls' in the real life world of Advertising. All Ad Men would be classed as 'trolls' if there were.

... And although I play up to the stupid online 'troll' label first bestowed upon me by Mr. Kabbaz, I am merely a viral marketer here. Always have been.

And now I stop because I've already sold my product: Me.

(But it is fun to talk and explain about these things.)

Best -

Nah, mate the forum is ours.  It was yours, it'll never be mine.

Cheers for starting it. And for finding all the new lads on Modculture.  Mental, egomaniacal troll or not, I owe you one.

You are pissing into the wind here. There is no point trying to apply rational argument to someone who is living in a world of their own construct, particularly if they are clever; they will have an answer for everything and just blot out the bits they don't like.

One thing they can't hack though is being ignored.

Time this thread was put to bed as it is going round in circles.

As ever Woof is bang on the money with his post.
Jim has taken it from all angles in the last couple of days
probably deserved i would say ,however
What’s glaringly obvious to me is that he is enjoying every minute of it.
Gaining sustenance, gulping and swallowing it whole. The attention is like a drug to him.
It is really quite disturbing.

Yeah but even with shifting to proxy IP's he still has a record of your use here, someone couldn't shift to share your IP over here typing from somewhere else, it doesn't work like that. You have an exclusive IP, even when you proxy. On top of that I can't even imagine there were or are enough people bothered with this place to throw in their two-cents under a Russel Street team, that would've not posted on here as themselves, I only know of one, that being Hard Bop Hank, the only person to have ever leaned on me via PM, I nearly told him to fuck off then, and now I guess I can now. I think my heart, head and loyalty has to go to those that have earned my trust, even in this make-believe world, I think the other mistake is not realising that internet anonymity is soo 2004, and even though this forum still looks like a geo-cities page, I think that time has long gone.
