Won't know till it gets written up. Even if "we" don't rip him a new one, the people he's writing about are welcome to show up and respond.

I think Liars get it worse than Incompetents. The real classics are the Incompetent liars though.

I know that and I agree. No I'm not too attached to those buzz words. In fact I don't even know what a TROLL is. I probably will at some time recount my experience with the ATA, which up to this point has been rather positive.

There are things that bug me about the ATA and there are -ulp- things that I like about the ATA. That's enough for now.

Or is it the lying incompetents?

DC shoot me a PM I'm interested in what you have to say about TKD.

A "troll" is a person who joins a discussion just to disrupt it, or screw it up for laughs or attention. Like if someone joined a gay rights forum and told them they were all just in a phase and they'll grow out of it when they get out of college, or if someone joined a woman's issues group and told them, "I have an issue with women - I hit my girlfriend too hard and now she can't see to cook me dinner" - that would be trolling. The key thing about a troll, is they are doing it on purpose, just to be a jerk.

I, by contrast, am actually, sincerely, an incredible jerk.

Well there's no doubt how you feel about things. That's OK by me. Although people here can get a little cranky, people say what they think.

You don't understand. An example: Today on the way to work, I saw booth where you could club a baby seal WITH a baby penguin for 50 cents, and I just handed the guy a hunnderd and said I'd kick his ass if the counter broke.
