The trolling has reached epic proportions.
Nov 21^st, 2014 at 6:46am

Definition of trolling:

1. 3 or more ad hominems with NO OTHER CONTENT from the same person or more, following ones posts. This may occur in the same thread or in different threads.

2. A few mild insults and abuse I personally can accommodate without a problem SO LONG as these are accompanied by explanations relating to the subject of the discussion.

Example: link

My considered post is followed by four ad homs with no attempt to engage in discussion.

And I ask myself : "What the bugger am I wasting my time here for?"

You're missing the point, Datalife.

It's the persistent nature of this 'tagging' without any attempt at debate or discussion that leaves me wondering why I don't follow all the others who have since moved on from this forum board.

It should be the owner of this board who is worried about the likes of Hot Breath undermining the quality of the posting here to the point of driving away those who are not here just to tag, troll, and graffiti the threads.

No. It's a one-off, Annie. Never happened before, and won't again.

Dear Jesus, get me out of here.

There is an off button, Herbert.

Don't whinge about trolling if you're going to reject offers of help. This is the first I've heard about your problem and I was trying to assist you.

An Off button?

You want me to 'off', while you mods leave the trolls to breed and carry on as a Protected Species?

I'm looking for the 'bugger-Off ' button to get rid of these persistent pests, but you'd rather it was I who did the walking.

You were indeed, Annie, and I apologise. I'm just sorry you do so little reading here on this forum that it comes as a surprise to you that there's a swarm of resident pests whose sole purpose in logging on seems to be to bait and troll with no intentions of entering into debate.

Yes, some people here JUST engage in trolling.

It decreases the appeal, for me.

Reply #13 - Nov 21^st, 2014 at 7:47am I was surprised to read this thread coming from Herb as I had always seen Herb as the troll .... no matter what the topic Herb always brings it back to wogs, black people, arabs or ethnics in general ... Annie you heard it from Herb himself, get rid of the trolls. Ban him permanently
