Self-explanatory.
Saying "Self-explanatory" is not explaining anything.

^ It seems the
 ing point is simple as an egg: trolling the troll we become trolls too. It's better to ignore them than play their game.

^ They don't teach Humor in Guildford and St.-Petersburg anymore ... it's all up to America now. But then there are all these tools who tell jokes about drugs, sex, and racism. Which is why I teach Humor 101 here in Reno.

Yeah, I got that bit. We all got the "don't feed the trolls" message, but if that was the whole of Andrey post then he could have simply said "Don't Feed The Troll", so what was the rest about?
[and for the sake of clarity and accuracy I didn't say that I did not know what the
ing point was, I said I didn't ing know what the point was - the placement of expletive is important - the point he was making may have been a good one, therefore I would not have called it a " ing point "] Having never seen "Mighty Ducks" and not knowing the plot, storyline or even what it is about, the little joke was completely lost on me. That's not a cultural difference, that's not a limitation of education, that's simply not knowing what the crap the moral of the anecdotal joke was even supposed to be. Out of context it is meaningless to me.

It's a movie about a bunch of kids who win a hockey game in the end ... "What if they don't? What if we stuck with the alternate ending?" It's just like that with us. We could have banned Knoobens or gave him a warning, but no, we decided to go with the alternate ending. Some of us were "losing to" a troll, acting on the loss.

Wallace/Baggra/Bunburyist/Knobby should have been banned the moment he re-joined the site, he knows the score, he is not new to this. I gave him a second chance and I publicly gave him several pieces of advice that should serve as gentle warnings. I admit, had hoped that this would produce a better ending, I was wrong.
The movie does not interest me. Edited by Dean - July 02 2013 at 19:54 |

Am I the only one not bothered in the least by Knobby's "eccentricities"?
While certainly dismissible, I find is observations to be mildly entertaining. |

It must be very difficult for Dean right now as our chief enforcer; he sees a person who seems to know a good deal of prog rock and yet insists on alienating 82.7% of everyone on the forums. That's gotta be an irritating and frustrating position to be in.
I think the solution will be the simplest-- either Knobs will figure it out and shape-up, be cordial to all and open to different ideas about music, and step back from his "I know more about this stuff than anyone here" attitude, or he'll be warned and any other necessary actions.

I'm sorry to say, but I really didn't learn anything from Sargent knobbery.
I mean I've heard he has the incredible amount of knowledge about prog, but I never saw or heard how that was articulated. As for Dean. Yeah. I feel bad he has to be put in the position, but we have to slam the gavel down sometimes. I've always felt that PA is a very special place to converse about prog, so we can't have just 'anyone' shooting their mouth off or being a jerk 82.7% of the time. Knobby NEVER provided a balance. He was always rude and confusing. I know we ALL can be rude and confusing here on PA sometimes, but at least we all have the sense to admit fault sometimes or apologize to one another. PA is a family and it shouldn't be made up of Knobbies. (god I sound like such an old man now. Lol) Feeding the troll or not, one still has to look at the trolls damage by way of dumb comments or picking on some of your PA buddies on the forums or what have you. Listen. I like to joke around as the next guy and I would consider myself a pretty easy going progger of a man, but I gotta say that voting Knobby of the PA island was a good move. You can't feel sorry for the guy. He had soooooo many chances. --nick |

Oh and one more thing. What the hell is a 'JIMMEH' anyway???
I guess I will be notoriously pig-headed and make fun of something I don't understand, but it sounds like sound retarted Viking stroke victim language. Or maybe is it old English? Anyway. I think it could be cooky-talk but I don't know for certain. ;) |
