G'day Chuck!

Why thank you, it's nice to welcomed by someone not in a prison guards
uniform.

Some things never change Chuck. (Jpgs available upon request.)

This is "trolling" in the highest tradition of the noble art, and I
for one am both excited and in eager anticipation at what Lucy has in
store for us over the course of the promised 12 months.>

Think "Carole King" (or was it 'wonder lips' Carly Simon"?)
here..."anticipation, anticipaaaation, it's making me wait..."

You mean you actually took the ten minutes to scroll to the bottom of
all that? You flunked the test.

Quoted message said:

And what about the post

that contained the one simple but vibrant single full stop - " . " ?
That was a "trolling" classic <sigh of admiration>, which will become
part of "trolling" folklore.>

Again you are very close. My greatness is legendary, my deeds
memorialized in the tiny minds of a bunch of fat men who run around in
skirts, sucking, squeezing their bags, and blowing, and a bunch of
prancy runners. There are others, but I have already given away too
much. I don't want to spoil the surprise. To brag of my deeds would
serve only to toughen you to the onslaught that is about to land upon
you, and it would show poor character (my best personality trait)

Thanks again! I must Google those names. I change mine several times a
day, so until you know my style I won't be archived, or easy to see.

I don't know, all I've seen is the usual tedious sexual
suggestiveness, and fairly standard personal insults. Pretty low
level trolling so far, though we can hope its just a warm up,
stretching before really getting started so as to not pull any
trolling muscles. It seems we've been promised quite a bit
more that what we've seen so far.

Oh dear John, how can you be so churlish. Ms Fur promised us a
"trolling" feast, and I for one think she is more than delivering.

Her input is innovative and refreshingly so very much different to
some of the infantile nonsense with which we have been deluged in
recent times.

I for one go straight to her posts first now, and she is quite right,
it is almost impossible to recognise when she has changed ID's, until
that wicked sense of humour becomes apparent and gives the game away.

Why are we at MFW always so reluctant to give credit when it's due?

Have a great weekend John - I'm going to!! ;o)

You are as usual simply unwilling to recognise those more intelligent

I must have missed some of her posts, so far all I've seen

but nothing ground breaking, and certainly far short of what
she advertised.

I've been going for her posts as well, but I'm sad to say,
I've been dissappointed. Excellence in trolling requires the
reader to feel outrage while still not being able to resist replying.
The experience should be much like a person who is easily
frightened by horror movies, who still can't help watching every
one that is released. So far she hasn't even registered on the
outrage meter, and since so far all she's done is recycle some
very used insults, replying takes on the characteristics of a
tired school teacher correcting grammitcal mistakes.

I almost want to write, "Lucy seems to have great promise,
but as yet hasn't reached our expectations for her work."
on her report card.

Quoted message said:

Standards. She built up great expectations, so now we

To my eternal chagrin John, I'm having a little "troll" myself.

Using the very English tool of sarcasm and irony, I have to confess
because a nice chap like yourself was not the intended target!!

However, Ms Lucy Fur has taken the bait a few times, even to asserting
her sexuality.

Unfortunately, Ms Fur is a rather poor example of a young English
person, who has rather more time on her hands than she should. She
should be studying rather harder than she is, or in the pub!!

Sorry John!! ;o)

I feel sullied David, and perhaps even somewhat violated!!

We have quite "frankly" and "earnestly" (even though we're not, given
that we are johnly and davidly) worked enormously hard to raise the
integrity and reputation of "trolls", only to have it all dashed by
the masterly keyboard skills of a slip of a girl from Blighty!!

I think the game is up, and all that there is left for us to do, is to
threaten to consider "killfiling" each other, shoot our horses, and
take cover.... Geronimooooooooooooooooooooo...............

I may re-emerge under my new sock-puppet Lee Michaels, which means I
will be able to act like a real dopey [censored], and no-one will notice.
Who might you become!! ;o)

Have a great weekend dear chap - I am!! ;o)

Sadly, the era of the great usenet trolls has passed. Although she never
visited the hallowed halls of MFW, Cattlovvr was one of my favorites. How
sad that the state of trolling has gone from:

"Retired blue collar vacationers have spent their entire working years
saving up nickels and dimes so they can spend their Golden Years
hogging the road in a Winnebago acting like Jack Kerouac with
Alzheimer's Disease. "

to 59K of random punctuation. It seems the only trolls left are unbalanced
individuals with limited language skills.

No kidding. Lucy came in here with high expectations and she's been
nothing but a disappointment. She reminds me of Tony Mandrich of
Packer infamy.
