clamps would be better but u work with what u've got!

[Jungle Red]

My favorite clamps are the one square ones. None of the roach clips for me, thanks!

[Liza's Headband]

Wow! The bar must be set pretty low if this is considered a "meltdown."

[PalJoey]

As I was saying...

[Jane2]

"Wow! The bar must be set pretty low if this is considered a "meltdown."

Meltdown is in the eye of the beholder!

[SonofRobbieJ]

And it's hardly ever in the eye of the one having the meltdown.

[Jane2]

Bingo!

[Liza's Headband]

"And it's hardly ever in the eye of the one having the meltdown."

Unless the one having the meltdown is a moderator.

[Jane2]

What are you saying, LIza's?

[madbrian]

What a tremendous waste of our collective time, wit, and intellect to have interesting threads constantly sidetracked. I try to be sympathetic to folks with contrary opinions to the majority; many of us have spent time with family members who have extreme conservative views. However, that sympathy has limits. I can't have sympathy for folks who are deliberately inflammatory and have no respect for others.

Maybe BWW is becoming more like immersive theatre. Sometimes a room is locked and the next time you pass by it, it's mysteriously open!

[Jordan Catalano]

"Troll No More"?

[FindingNamo]

I call Duncan!

[Liza's Headband]

Here's what you need to get started. Get going.

[Jordan Catalano]

What happened to you not posting here anymore? That seemed to last about 6 minutes.

[Borstalboy]

It was but magic and the power of suggestion!

[FindingNamo]

Historically, 6 minutes is quite a long time for trolls who insist they aren't trolls to stay away.

[tazber]

It's magic!

[DAME]

So I often wonder if the so called trolls are a invention, manipulation, or encouraged behavior from BWW to stimulate a minimum traffic on the boards every day? Not saying it is so. I know nothing. Just wondering. Do they promise their advertisers certain amount of activity?

[Jane2]

That would be a pity, Dame. I want authentic trolls or no trolls!

[DAME]

You want authenticity? On this board?

[ShakinBaconGirl]

I doubt it. If BWW wanted the trolls to stimulate traffic, then why lock the threads?

[PalJoey]

See the article I just posted from the Guardian about Troll Behavior.

The truth is that Liza's Headband, like the other trolls we have known here, is just a garden-variety sociopath, just like the trolls on every other Internet chatboard.

They claim that they're "nice" in real life, but the reality is they enjoy upsetting people and being the center of attention.

[DAME]

So that they start new ones?

[PalJoey]

Maybe this one was locked by mistake.

[Jordan Catalano]

Interesting how any reference to a certain storms new alias is immediately deleted. Much like any reference to the actual storm itself was immediately deleted....
