Now that the flock has gathered, you know what happens next: You'll know to keep your mouth shut in future.

It's pretty sad how badly this thread has degenerated.

Everyone has their own perceptions of a troll and Herbert is not what I would term a troll. He does not appear to follow people from thread to thread making snide and insulting comments nor does he analyse their perceived personality flaws ad nauseam.

If you don't like what he has to say, say so and move on. Making long and personally insulting posts is petty and those making such posts should hold the mirror up to their own behaviour. Some of these posts are just plain nasty. Jealousy perhaps?

Herb knows what he's doing and he does it very, very, very well.

I have to disagree with you on that: he is completely transparent and, thus, a failure.

While he certainly is one of the biggest trolls I've seen on the internet, he quite simply isn't very good at it: he just comes across as a complete and utter fool.

That's his Schtick, Greg. He's actually a lot smarter than he lets show.

No, he's not.

That's the point.

If he was clever, I'd support him.

I won't be feeding that troll any more.

No!

Don't feed him.

His time here has come to an end.

Ignore his posts, and don't make any direct replies to his racist threads.

Starve the old bugger.

You're confusing 'trolls' with 'stalkers'.

Herbie isn't a stalker: he's a troll. The king of all trolls, in fact. If you can find a bigger troll than Herbie, I'll pay to see that.

"a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people by posting inflammatory ... messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response ... "

He may start topics that many don't agree with but that does not make him a troll.

Posting topics does not in itself create arguments. It's the people who respond to the topics with personal snipes that create the arguments.

If I don't like or agree with a topic (or the person posting it) I don't go there.

How many pages of vilification now? More to the point, if you read the entire thread, do you think there was a valid reason in posting it in the first place? Take your time.

My god, you're so blind.

When you look up 'troll' in the dictionary, there's a picture of Herbie.

Seriously! There is. Go take a look right now.

Your compulsive retort disorder disminishes any attempt you make to pretend not to care.

I think you're throwing that term around because you don't like him.
