No, only insults work on trolls. Fire and acid are for paper cuts.

oh you mean troll members? but what good is insulting them? isn't that kind of reaction what they're after? even if you insult them when they've gone, they've sort of "won"

Oh, I was attempting to be funny by referring to real trolls (the real-life monsters with gangly arms). But I evidently failed miserably in that attempt. So, errrr nevermind.

Hi Lav. Welcome back. Glad to see that you're still ruckus-raising.

So, is asking someone "when they stopped beating their wife?" considered a troll or a flamebait? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Also what about falming? is that allowed?

Wow I have never heard of those words used for those purposes. Thanks for shining the light.

Considering that the last "game of ping pong" got a bunch of folks banned, I really do not think that's a good idea. Or even a mediocre one.
