    He has most of you eating out of the palm of his hand. It's interesting. Why do you all keep responding to him? The best way to handle a troll is to ignore him.

    He's the latest in a long line of D&D conservative trolls (I'm pretty sure the most recent of which was downbytheriver).

    The quality of the D&D is much lower because of his spam rambling and the responses you all give to him.

    Stop feeding trolls.

    I actually like him.
    He helps keep it balanced with extreme racist liberals like Francize Blade and Sweet Lou.

    Sad pathetic people need their safe space from people that are able to challenge their crap. Do you need me to step out of your safe space? Well, It's not going to happen. I will come at you 100 times stronger . Can't handle the truth then turn off your PC and lock yourself in the closet.

    The troll game really does diminish any discussion. And, of course, that is by design. Just repeat the same points as nauseum and sling insults. It is apparently effective, given how many folks keep responding. And I certainly understand why groups pay trolls to raid popular forums.

    It's all in good fun because we know it's only temporary. Come the first Wednesday of November, he'll be gone like all of the others before him.

    Plus, he's so stinkin easy to get a rise out of. Just makes it too fun...

    You can't tell what a good post is unless you have bad posts to provide contrast. There's no 'good' without 'bad'. Someone has to be worst.

    you just made a thread about a poster you want less discussion on.

    you have just set a new high water mark for r****dation.

    If you don't want to debate him then stop debating him. Not exactly rocket science.

    So were you a man who decided to become a woman or vice versa?

    An interesting aspect to watch is how posters stoop to his level of insults when responding. Best thing to do is ignore trolls. If you really have to respond, don't go to their level. It's difficult to change a person's perspective, but some people might with a mature discussion.

    RL isn't a troll. A troll sits back and makes up fake takes to get a rise out of people.

    It's way too obvious that RL looses his cool at the slightest provocation.

    If anything, RL is the biggest trolling victim in the history of this BBS. It's just too easy with him.

    I'd really like to believe that he was just a troll and that no one was legitimately that stupid......I'm not sure I believe that though. He seems like a true believer as sad as that sounds.

    You nailed it. If I put every one of the guys that troll the forum non-stop on ignore, my daily quota of reading and responding to Posts Made By Idiots might suffer. I have several of the worst offenders on ignore already. I finally put (?)texxx on ignore, but took basso off because he's largely quit trolling (bravo basso!). It's not much fun down here if everyone is agreeing with everyone else. Singing Kum ba yah! and dancing around the campfire can get boring, eventually.

    See? How can you not laugh at such raw and goofy stupidity? What a combination!

    Honestly he or she doesn't bother me because they actually believe in what they post. And they are passionate without being malicious and crude.

    Although I disagree competely with the views, I support his right to post them.

    This is actually a pretty valid point.

    Maybe I should take Bandwagoner off of ignore.

    Eh, this thread was necessary as a PSA. Many people who don't regularly read the D&D get roped into responding to him. That brings down the quality of threads. It's even spilled over into the hangout.
