Well, you must have endured a lot of F'ing clutter in your formative years.

The issue becomes when you validate her "points" by commenting in a fashion that addresses them as worthwhile. Simply pointing out that her van is a piece of sh*t is fair game, and...I might add, under-utilized in these modern times."

Context, Scott. Context - read the entire thread.

See the circle within the square.

I know you can do it.

oh right...your back and forth banter with the exact same person is clearly better than the rest of the "dumb / less than sharp" people due to your proper context.

Well, I've seen the circle. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for bringing to my attention how I've failed to dumb it down enough for all readers.

Here - try this:

If you argue with trollenor about "points" that she makes, thus giving validity to what amounts to the babbling of an insane person, you are almost as foolish as she is.

It's akin to going on youtube and arguing with the guys who make racist comments about Obama for 300 lines back and forth.

If you mock her (or anyone else's, for that matter) jumbled speech, terrible van, etc - you are doing God's work. Mocking fools is the spice of life.

Engaging them in pretend arguments...well, hopefully I've made myself clear.

Also, in case you missed it - work on those ringlocks.

What about general nonsense?

You know what, Tony? That's a fair question.

Just so we're all on the same page, what do you mean by "general nonsense"?

Do you mean, when someone just posts a random low res picture of the bottom of their goldfish aquarium in a thread about benefits of wiregate carabiners?

How about if someone just strung random phrases together about days off, canada, and using your imagination?

Or maybe if someone wrote comments as if they were an authority on whatever the subject being discussed was, but have exactly ZERO experience with any subject, except for maybe anti-depressants/psychotics?

Is that kinda what you meant?

A few FA's are still left for grabs in the infamous Siberian mystery hole...for the right price.
