    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

1. Intolerance. Trolls do not embrace diversity. Alternate thoughts, lifestyles, sexual orientations, and operating systems are both wrong and unacceptable.


3. Cowardly. Trolls are cowards and want to attack and pontificate but not constructively discuss. They do not have the courage to say to your face what they say online. Shrink away from confrontation when they don't have a computer to hide behind.

4. Legal scholars. Trolls are experts in selective portions of U.S. constitutional law, U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and Sharia law. They are certain that the founding fathers anticipated the state of technology two hundred years hence. Example: "The Constitutions guarantees that I can protect myself in case a Muslim president sends Seal Team Six after me...im going to grab the AK47 I bought at Walmart and kick their butts"


5. Holier-than-thou. No matter what you do, it's never enough. No matter what a troll does, it's exemplary.

6. Posting false and misleading information. Continuous posts that are knowingly false hoping to create an altercation.
 
7. They live under a bridge and ask for toll to pass :)


Whenever a troll gets on my nerves, I get on netflix and play Troll Hunter the movie. Awesome movie if you like to see some real trollage.

If you disagree with my list and can form reasonable opinion that is fine. Lying however as quoted above is shameful. Also you decided to make this about you, not me. Please stay on topic :thumbsup:

Nothing learned from the 3 day vacation, gentlemen?
It's not as if the top ___ signs thing is original stuff (though I usually see it as 12); so I suggest enjoying it for what it is, rather than using it to continue a battle that most of us really don't want to watch.

Harald, All I did was make a post. I responded 2 times.

1. I have no editing privileges in this form once posted you big fibber!

( Accused me of editing a post, insinuating that I posted something bad about him. I have no edit privilege in this forum and he has a copy of it)

Also interesting that you take ownership of this. Anyway, stay on topic please, Thanks

I'd like to see this. And I'm also curious as to why you're following him around and (at LEAST claiming) to screen shot his posts?
 
So lately I've been looking at certain kinds of posts as if they are nice plump worms on a hook. I look at the worm and ask myself, is it worth it?

You know it is just put there to hurt you, ain't no way that worm gonna ever do anything for you, and despite the high falutin headlines about freedom or whatnot the worm often wears, it was not designed to be of any assistance whatsoever, because almost any response is followed with a deliberately mean-n-nasty comment about some person or group. And so, mostly, I stopped responding because, well, who needs that?


If I was a better person I guess I'd just use the ignore button, but, I don't. But there are all kinds of worms and flashy spoons and plastic squids and all that stuff that dresses the hook, and mostly when one knows it is set out just to get you, there are better uses of your time.
I recall recently a thread that I started, I spent quite a bit of time thinking through, got several interesting responses, and then, there it was , bam, the worm, sitting right there, saying something just designed to stir it up.

You know there is this terminology, LOL, it means laugh out loud, well when I saw that worm right in the middle of my thread I RME, rolled my eyes. For real. And didn't take that hook.
I don't want to see good people sent away for a month or even a year on account of fractions.
So don't get hooked.

Lucille was here but now she's gone
She left these eyes to carry on
Other responses don't do so well
Ya can't say em no mo, not even in Hell.
