poser alert

“watch out - anyone with a g in their name - some poser will come in with the same name except the g is a q - as witness the latest niqal poser”

“and k|eetn.

see my nyquil thread.”

“that despicable. dang poser posers.”

“I heard that it wasn't wise to feed torlls.”

“What Is A Torll?

These guys aren't really Trolls.

Trolling is the art of injecting a comment into a newsgroup that, on the surface, could be seen as highly inflammatory. However, if careful attention is given, the "troll" can be seen for what it is.....an extremely clever ruse to snare the unwary. The worst that happens is a good flamewar. No competent Troll will impersonate other users....they don't need to. They can start a spirited argument with nothing more than wit and timing.

These idiots who simply try to take over newsgroups are of a different sort. Once they find they're being ignored, or as is common, on the losing end of an argument, they quickly assume identities of newsgroup regulars, and proceed to throw out lame insults. If anyone should reply, they squeal "YOU REPLIED!!! SPNAK!!!" or they will impersonate you. I'm sure this
carries immense weight with them in their little circle, but the rest of the net is laughing at them.”

“I resemble that remark.













Hey! Did you just call me an idiot?”

“Nobody said anything about trolls. We are torlls and danm pruod of it.”

“'danm'?

And don't forget flooding the msg board, like,

What's your favorite thread?”

“yap - yet another poser - lagtis this time”

“It's amazing. Just when you thought he couldn't get any more boring, he finds a way to do just that.”

“Now it's 'BaS04'.

(Zeroes insted of O's)

I think he's finally cracked.”

“watch out for the cap letter O vs the number 0 poser - ex BaS04 poser”

“and the ! being substituted for i or l ala T!lt”

“I did that myself --- beat 'em to the punch, LOL.”

“yeah - I have been grabbing variations on my name as I think of them also but I make it a point to only post from the main line”

“Gee, I don't know if I should be flattered or p!ssed off. I hope I don't ever run into Spock on the trail. Two men enter, one man leaves.”

“Don't flaquer yourself.”

“Somebody must not have gotten the memo that there is only room for one assbag here and that bag be me! Let the kiddies have their fun. After a few threads I realized anything with only one post in it was crap.

Use my name any way you wish, people know who is who around here.”
