Subject: My dear ST, I don't think you actually read what I wrote

Please go through it again, with an objective mind. Your response below suggests you didn't read it at all.

>The reason Queer & Dash are trolls is that they
>intentionally stir things up to start flame wars.

This has already been addressed. Queer & Dash do sometimes intentionally stir things up with you, but according to the definition given in alt.folklore.urban, that does not make one a troll. Scott, you just can't go about re-defining terms and expect people to buy it.

>They
>personally attack rather than debate.

This is wrong as well. The two are not mutually exclusive, and both Dash and Queer discuss as well as taunt. And there is nothing wrong with that. Like I already explained, it's all part of the messageboard gig where people can interact freely.

>Do they
>contribute substantive comments? Yes, they do, but
>they also take pleasure in causing trouble.

And what if they do? That does not make one a troll. As far as I can tell, and I don't speak for them, they probably take pleasure in causing trouble with you, but not with the R&R board in general. That also argues against your incorrect use of the word "troll".

>This is
>obvious, but you can't see it because you haven't yet
>been able to take off your partisan blinders.

ST, didn't I just get through saying that yes they have intentionally posted messages to rile you up? You're accusing me of something I am not guilty of, and as one who has a reputation of calling other liars, I think it behooves you not to be one yourself. The fact is that Scott Tibbs doesn't have the authority to define for everyone what "troll" means. That has been done by a consensus of internet denizens and documented on newsgroups such as alt.folklore.urban.

If you insist on disregarding that authoritative definition of "Troll" and make up your own custom version in order to personally attack Dash and Queer (and calling one a troll IS a personal attack), don't expect any honest person to agree with you.
