Will the real TT'ers please stand up?

“Thanks! I think that's what I did - I am on a really fast system, so who knows...will try not to duplicate next time. I live in Mainland if you know where that is(very small place - you blink and you are through it)also in Mont. Co. Cool!”

“Wow, that's less than 10 minutes from me. Route 63 above the Tpk, right?”

“Yep. small world!”

“I'm real.”

“I am real, at least I was the last time I looked. Never ever trolled either.”

“Ok, ok, I admit it, I'm real.”

“Really?”

“Yup, I can vouch for Skiracer and Sirpete..they are real..

especially after being in the woods with them for a few days..they are real...real..RIPE!!

yeah, that's the word I was looking for!!”

“Hey Tx, your bro Pete is real for sure, and ripe. What came out of him while we were pumping water soon after he ate some of Jerry's wassapeas was definately RIPE. I heard bears fainting in the woods.”

“LOL!!!!!!!”

“Tis true WD. But I wouldn't have a laugh at his expense if I didn't like him. Actually, I'm just getting even because he said my updated and paid for map was bogus and that his borrowed library map (who knows how old it was) was fact. hmmmmm...”

“real men stand up to TT
and real girls sit or squat down to TT
uh....dang, i forgot the point i was trying to make....~~~~~~~~~
anyway.......even tho i sit...i am a real TT'er”

“I had to sit down to read that one. ;-)”

“I can feel the insecurity. You people need help. Who the hell cares? Why do you feel the need for constant validation?

We have one group concerned about proving themselves not to be posers or trolls while others are totally devastated when they find out they are not Mr./Ms. Popular with everyone.

Highschool is over people, time to grow up and stand on our own two feet.

pedXing we really could use your professional help here!!!!”

“I'm so tired from carrying around all this BAGGAGE!

Do you really think PedX can help me????”

“I was going to post, but changed my mind...”

“Hey... if Obi Wan can change his mind, maybe he can change your minds too. Or at least he could recommend some nice Italian pastry to get your mind off things.”

“PedX, with insights like that...









no wonder you had to retire to academia!”

“LOL!”

“I`m real, or so I think, but I have posted twice as someone else!LOL”

“Yo TownDawg-
I hope to comply-but could you list the rules/vocabulary/
etiquette for us rookie users?
I have enjoyed the board very much.
May I have your Blessing too?
Sent you an e-mail re:
picture”

“You mean there are rules, and vocabulary?

What the hell has happened to this place?”

“It's going to the dogs melsy, to the dogs;-)”

“seriously?.. I have moved on... That was then.. this is now.

but hey.. keep the thread alive if you want to.”

“Sorry Mel-but what the hell is a "Troll" or a "Poser" in this context?
Just trying to make nice,nice--
It sounds like a lot of the people here have been around a while...I don't mind at all offending someone if they need it- In fact I enjoy the hell out of it...but only if they need it.”

“I think I could use a little info. too. I am not sure what a Troll or Poser is either...sorry.”

“lol.. you will learn.. hang around a while.. this thread is getting way too long..”

“By the way.. welcome to TT.”

“Thanks-Towndawg
I think I am begining to understand.
I hope.”

“Stand up sit down
Pick a bale of cotton

Stand up sit down
Pick a bale of hay”

“Generally a troll is a person who posts messages that create controversy or an angry response. They drag a conversational lure through the group, hoping for a response. It could also be someone who impersonates famous people or a member of the group. The latter is often referred to as a torll because they will make a slight variation on someone's handle to create a new, lookalike handle. The best advise is to not feed a troll and they will go away but it seems someone always does. Another way to deal with them is through humor, rendering them harmless - something of a pet or court jester. We have many examples of trolls here.

A poser is someone who pretends to be something he or she is not - a 'wannabee'. Here it would be someone who doesn't really backpack but pretends to be an expert.”

“Thanks”

“HEY!!! I resemble that remark. Don't listen to Dawg. He don't know schitt!”

“hehe.. howdy wild chlid!

ready for thankgiving?”

“This wouldn't be Wßld Child, would it?”

“That's weird. I tried to post the wild child with a weird i and got that.”

“Violin: Ya missed the obvious... it wasn't the weird "i" this time, its the spelling: "Chlid"”

“Leave me alone!”

“SHIZNIT!”

“Birch... you may merely stand and sit... I jump and turn around!

Jump down, turn around to pick a bale of cotton
Jump down, turn around to pick a bale a day.
Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton, oh Lordy, pick a bale a day.
Me and my gal can pick a bale of cotton,
Me and my gal can pick a bale a day....”

“STOP IT!”

“Duh!

I'm just wondering if Wild Chlid is the same as the Wild Child with the weird eye. You know, this one.”

“Yeah I remembered that one...
BTW: Who was/is sidhibombay?”

“Don't know but I've got a good hunch about Wild Chlid.”
