who's your favorite troll that has lurked in the past.
Metal Man (i think) was a good one, and there was a guy who wrote in a scottish accent.
I hope this isn't offensive.  Just for fun.------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

There was a guy called Wallace (he was the one with the scottish accent I believe). Nobody could understand him  .
Also, from the beginning of my presence on this site I remember a b*****d called Belva  . He was the trollest of all trolls I think. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Belva, Flowerchild, Luke, Hopelevre, prog-o-matic, Wallace (and to a lesser extent KE9, since the man was short tempered but no troll) were mostly annoying, agressive and useless!!!
Do they need to be reminded to our (mostly bad in this case)
 souvenirs?I think not!! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I remember Belva too: a rather conceited italian musician and jazz lover... his username was pretty appropriate (= beast, in italian).  By the way, I have a vague idea of what a "troll" is: would someone explain the exact meaning of this term in forum language? -------------

Off-topic: does anybody know what has happened to Useful Idiot? I couldn't have found him in the members list. Has he changed his nick (Bryan?) or copletely withdrawned? ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Hi is Bryan.
And Belva wasn't really Italian we believe, but British! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

In simple terms, a troll is an unwelcome character that prefers to cause trouble rather than join in the discussions. You can find a less simplistic description http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/anti_troll_faq.htm - HERE - since not all trolls are unwelcome; many can be a benefit, depending on their trolling style. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

I think that's a little unfair to Wallace. I have no idea what he was saying, but I'm sure he was saying something useful...  and he was pretty funny too

| The problem with Wallace was that it was all put on. His initial posts were in perfect English. He then bizarrely decided to talk in a language which was mock Scottish. |

Wallace was indeed very irritating and often hugely patronising, at least on the posts I saw over my year or so here. He had a typical, elitist perspective that somehow makes out that fans who just have classics by Yes, VDGG, Genesis, ELP etc. who don't have obscure prog albums are inferior to him. This is of course, nonsense. Most of the time, those aforementioned acts were more famous than obscurer ones because they were basically often better in any case...
I recall the whole Flowerchild debacle, whereby very nasty comments were made against a member of the forum on the forum itself plus even in reviews. As I recall, he became a bit unbalanced by the amount of posts about Dream Theater (this was at the height of the 'Octavarium' affair, I think) and went a bit crazy.
What was the deal with Karn Evil 9? I still hear his name whispered in hushed tones(
) around the forum, but I must have missed what caused the fuss about him... |

he posted about 90000 posts about ELP and in every post that didn't mention ELP was invaded by prostelyzing and saying how bad the other bands are. And he had a couple forum names he did this under.
not enough people on his side had to make up others. Something like that anyway, I was a serious noob at the time not just a minor one. Maybe one of the older members know better ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I've encountered Wallace on other forums - he "talks" in the same way there. Maybe it's his attempt at individuality. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

Yeah,I saw his posts on a Metal forum before he posted on here,I am sure. Easy is correct,he initially posted on here in normal English. Some git called Reed Lover saw him off though!!!
