Don't feed the troll
 

Some types of newsgroup posters get their jollies by disrupting a
discussion. It is best to not feed the troll with comments. Since I have
finally identifed one such troll I have plonked him. If you don't feed him
he will go back under his bridge.

You've got the right idea, but etymology is wrong. Here's an illustration:

Hmm, but what is the etymology of the word trolling as it relates to
fishing? hmmm? ;)

I'm just wondering if somehow it doesn't go back to the little dude under
the bridge anyway, in which case you'd both be right!

g etymology? Perhaps I should have said the trill will put his lure away
and go drown himself? :-) But the one of which I speak reminds me more of
the ugly creature young children are afraid of in Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Oh, did I duplicate a typo? I know that there is a study of bugs and a

Where do you get that they're anti-religion? They're clearly anti-a
certain flavor of what calls itself Christianity, but their attitude
seems to me to be coming from a perspective that's quite consistent with
the religion I practice. You know, love, acceptance, compassion?

According to a lot of these Fundies, anyone that doesn't believe their
version of the fairy tale bible, must be the anti-christ or devil.

Seems Wil is of that persuasion and he and the rest of the Fundies are
clearly anti-religion unless that religion is the same as they believe.

One of the funniest real-life religious events of recent times was when the
Southern Baptists of Alabama accidentally released a memo of their "census"
of "the saved" in Alabama. Coincidentally, it exactly matched the attendance
figures for that denomination's churches. Needless to say, there were quite
a few ****ed off Methodists, Presbyterians, and other Protestants, never
mind the Catholics, who, if you turn on a radio anywhere in the deep South,
you will learn are the spawn of Satan and the devil's own workers.
