Damn your broken sarcasm detector! :p

I call your bluff. You can't possibly have a master's degree under twelve.

(grabs pitchfork) Shenanigans!

Wow this dude is like herpes on the face of a good looking girl.

Every time you think it has gone away, an ugly canker sore opens up on her lip and usually sticks around for about 2 weeks.

And by the way OB or XO or Drunken Cuban or whoever you post as, expecting a different outcome when you do the exact same thing over and over again is not considered a sign of intelligence.

I must say, for a public forum to be of any decent level of popularity or activity it must and it is a MUST to have at least one troll. Why? because it indicates even the stupidest of the stupid people in the society also like that forum :)

Don't you open that trapdoor ;)

That's as may be, but anyone can play checkers.

He was, I'm ashamed to admit, too easy. :) The final ranting expletive laden post from his alter-ego was pure class, particularly when he had a go at himself just to add that extra degree of authenticity!

It is sad though when someone is banned, but at the end of the day this community doesn't need people who talk trash and intentionally spread misinformation and lies for their own pleasure. I admit I don't really know the circumstances behind the banning of OrangeBox - I must have skipped over all of his posts - I am willing to trust the mods and Reggie to use their discretion and get it right when deciding to ban a member.

If bans were occurring left and right then I think there'd be cause for concern, but one or two (that I can recall) in something like 5 years doesn't sound like a problem.

Hmmm... ego, much? ;)

So what do you think of the diamond formation and is it likely to win Chelsea the Premier League title this year? I'm interested in your thoughts - hopefully the forum servers will be able to survive the onslaught of traffic that ensues. :)

How do we count, one for one? Does a "you are all <whatever>" count as one or we multiply by number of registered members?

Besides, I think that the forum software has no sense of humor. I wish I'd write it.

It's have an option to f* with user. With several options.

For example, half an hour after he posts, all his sentences are scrambled so he comes across like a raving lunatic.

Or mysteriously removing posts randomly, then popping them back in. Also, remove all posts containing "post" and "removed".

Or disabling the "Submit Reply" button once the length of the post crosses 400 bytes.

Randomly translating the post into Chinese and back again, and then to German and back again via Google translate.

I take requests.

Determination, intelligence and even a Masters Degree--and you were brilliant enough to reveal yourself? Did you ever see that Monty Python skit on 'How Not To Be Seen?' YOU FAIL **BOOM**

Agreed. Saying you have a degree in something doesn't make it so. More importantly, even if it were true, possession of a certification or a degree has proven to be a poor indicator of actual performance or intelligence one way or the other.

Yeah. Thankfully, trolls are rare here. Good thing they don't ban for cynicism--I'd have been gone a LONG time ago. ;)
