Sound advice from a now angelic troll
As a former demonic troll in hundreds of chat rooms and boards all over the net I have found that there are some universal NO-Nos. We won't delve into the obvious ones like posting porn on familty oriented websites or calling someone a bad name like M*&*&K***ER. etc. For now let's just call attention to the things that could get you banned here on TT. Here's what I learned in my short time here.

The number one no-no here is never ever post Spinal Tap lyrics like the ones in Big Bottom and Tonight I'm Going to Rock You, Tonight. Elise doesn't like that at all.

#2 Don't write poems about people with the words fairy or h_mo in them.

That's my two findings. What are yours?

I don't know if the person I am thinking of owned the troll before, but I think its theirs now. And they really shouldn't be using it. Just because someone you like is using a stupid troll doesn't mean you should give the troll any breaks.

I have been wrong enough on my suspicions on Forklift elvis in the past. I think I will just wait till someone else outs him.

Alright, I will post them
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?!

Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

Mounties:
I cut down trees, I wear high heels?!
Suspenders...and a bra?!...

Just the Lumberjack:
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

With the exception of two or three, most banned had it coming.

what I don't understand is why a known troll is allowed to post and be baited?

Of the two of us Dub, you are the one doing the trolling. Just stop and it will all be good. Baiting is what a troll does, - that's where the term comes from. They "troll" the waters with bait. Therefore, you are trolling. Nobody baited or trolled you.

Strong enough for a troll but made for a regular.

I guess what puzzles me is why is pasting what some one said considered baiting? I am not saying it is a "nice" thing to do; but why is it baiting?

Well, ramblinrev. Good question. Often, when someone calls someone a name, for example, and asks a follow up question, the point is to provoke the person, and elicit (sp?) a response. The analogy if casting a line, and "baiting" a fish.

And regarding 'pasting a quote', you have to consider the context/spirit of the manner it is used. Make sense now?

You know Rev, name calling and following up with questions--well, provoking that person is what you're after. Just like fishing and casting a line with bait. Comprende?

It's quite possible there was more to it than that. Why yes, I'm certain of it.

How much more instigating are you gng to do before you get bored of it?

Leave me, and my parents, out of your posts.
