  1. The whole point of anonymous trolling is to get under people's skin.

    You guys don't have to pay attention to it. You don't have to
    follow up. Frankly, if the follow up does not have an element of
    humor in it, I'd say don't bother. Feeding a troll confirms it's
    success.

    Some of you guys have hot buttons with 'Troll Me' written in neon
    letters. And damn if you don't get trolled without end.

    Sheesh.

    This is like the guy in the pickup truck with the '3' decal that
    hits the horn from way back when passing you. Do you think that
    guy feels bad when he looks in the mirror and sees you giving
    him the finger? Or do you think he feels 'mission accomplished'?

    It took you about a month to figure that out, Bob?

    Oh, I stopped flipping the bird to aggressive drivers years ago.
    And with respect to rbr, I have learned to leave the political
    threads alone. Among others.

    Magilla hooked me for a while, not once but twice. First it
    was when he was reeling in Sandy by misapplying legal theory
    with respect to Tyler Hamilton. And then again with his
    deliberate mangling of physics and geometry. But eventually
    I got it.

    My screed was directed towards the possessors of hot buttons,
    many of whom have not yet figured it out.

    Give Magilla credit - he hasn't trolled the cross-posting threads that
    have popped up here in the last couple of days. Guess shooting fish in
    a barrel doesn't appeal to him, although that seems to be crossing
    metaphors or something.

    And your continuous insistence - along with others who
    skipped physics class - that you go faster around a 180 degree turn
    on a velodrome than is beyond credibilty.

    Magilla, sweetheart.

    That your center of gravity traces a shorter circumference
    because of the lean is geometry. Not physics.

    Dumbass,
    They don't have to be big to be hot.

    Some of us definitely should know better, starting with me, but I get
    hard headed. Once in a great while they actually manage to add
    something, but not very often. Magilla and his soph sidekick/alter ego
    have reached a point where it's impossible to take them seriously so I
    plan on leaving him with his blue ribbon and ignoring their [censored] from
    now on. Takes me longer to learn than most I guess.
