I would think someone would tell me.

Well, I can't actually speak for Nilcum (although it'd be cool if i could), but I doubt he was calling you a troll. Seems to me the most trollish one in this particular thread is the one being discussed simply because he doesn't contribute, doesn't have good manners, and only posts when he wants something from the rest of us.

That's just what I thought when I first read that comment. Nilcum can feel free to correct me if I've twisted his words.

Nah, a troll in the context of an internet forum is generally someone that posts things designed to get to another user from the forum, cause them to get annoyed. So I am not sure troll is really an adequate description of any of the posters.

So, saying things like:

I'm unimpressed with your posting history ... all you do is bitch and moan

will generally provoke an argumentative response. That is trolling. The intent of pointing this out is to prevent users from being baited into a hostile responses. At which point things generally digress into a flame war. I'm glad none of that happened in this thread.

For me, Nilcum, the difference between trolling and elgoom's post is intent. Elgoom did indeed post something that was likely to cause argumentative responses. But elgoom's intention was not to cause a flame war, it was to honestly address an issue with a member of the community. Trolls, the way I use the term at least, don't have any constructive agenda, they just thing making people angry is funny.

Said it about as well as I could have.

do you ever feel like you walked into the middle of soap opera and or conversation and feel "lost"? Yep, I'm there, It's okay tho. I'm multi-tasking and maybe that's why there is so much confusion for me. Have A great Day

I just want to say something positive in this thread.

First I would like to thank all of you that do the teases. I enjoy all that I have ever tried. (Where do you get the pictures you add in the tease?)

Second I would thank any woman who takes an interest in this. You are the special few I think having you' all ( sorry I am country) makes this sight much more intresting.

Third I must be a web virgin. I had no idea what "trolling" was so thanks for helping the clueless (me )

"So if life gives you lemons; then the glass is half empty", or something zen like that.

Welcome StuBhoney.

My personal favorite part of net-etiquette is Godwin's Law. From Wikipedia:

There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.

And no, I don't think it has relevance to this thread, I just welcomed StuBhoney's tangent.

i'll try... i'm working on a webtease... i hope you'll all like it.

Is is about endless tease and denial? :))
