at andy's the biggest trolls are made super members, advanced memebrs etc and sometimes even honors members and the biggest are even given their own subforums

i couldnt have said it better myself, nephew. it's rather like the real-world isnt it, but in this one way: the little trolls (ie criminals in the reall-world analogy) are persecuted, while the big ones are elected to high office and showered with riches. it's the great cosmic destiny isnt it?

yes and as in real life with wealth accumulation, post accumulation on mbs follows the pareto distribution. nice huh?

I have to ask.  Will you guys throw me a bone and reveal a troll.  One that will really surprise me.  One I never saw coming.  Just one, that's all I ask. 

Thanks.

You're me? 

Deep.

You bet I do!  Worked well for Tom.

Tough trip on short notice, tho.

You persons have too much time on your hands.

^ This seems the only answer.

The true I-Gent wouldn't even bother to read the Net. let alone post on it...

Purely a side point: "Troll" is the biggest internet insult isn't it? It's just like calling a kid a 'Fag' at school. Same mentality too I think - You don't like something or someone or you feel threatened by it/him then you call 'Troll'. Not very sophisticated stuff.

If I register on a certain clothing website and question a certain shirtmaker's wares then I'll be called a troll very quickly. Not just by the shirtmaker in question, but by those who want to associate themselves with him & 'be in his gang'. Indeed it's those wannabes who'll howl the loudest.

Just like life at school!

Basic, basic stuff.

^ And that is the wonderful, wonderful game on the Net.!
