What is a troll? Someone who posts flamebait. What is flamebait? Here's a good example: It was hard to know which parts of your posts to ignore, emspace, because they're all so full of lies and distortions or: Unlike the allegiances of the right, which spin this way and that depending on how much money is in it for them, left wing loyalties are not for sale. You can't buy me off with and SUV or an ugly McMansion in the suburbs. So I apologize to one and all for my unseemly outburst; it was exactly what DaneTiki was looking for. It just didn't hit me right away cuz I never expected to find trolls here at TC. But check out those inflammatory, cliched ad hominems. Pure troll. Here's some good advice from a site about trolls and trolling: "They are here to feed on our pain. We don't have to give them that satisfaction. They stay only as long as we feed them well. If we want them to go, all we have to do is to stop feeding them." So let's let DaneTiki go back to his idolatry of Bill Burroughs, a junkie who shot his wife and wrote stories about pederasty, and I promise I will do my best not to feed the troll, and stick to Tiki. aloha, emspace.
