If someone has an actual persona, a name, is willing to identify him/herself, fine. I may reply in kind, and perhaps not kindly, but at least I'll dignify the comment with a reply. Anonymous commenters who look to just rile things up? No respect whatsoever.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-34247671051756788892009-07-02T12:44:16.157-04:002009-07-02T12:44:16.157-04:00Carteach, in a just world, you'd have about a ...Carteach, in a just world, you'd have about a million readers.

Trolls are basically cowardly bullies that vaporize when exposed to sunlight. I regard them as source of entertainment.

You're safe, my friend! :)<br /><br />Brigid, you reap what you sow, so of course you're going to have excellent, wonderful commenters! And it's just as natural that they should drive off any troll that might happen upon your blog.<br /><br />You, Rita, Lin, and I together? The earth would truly tremble at our passage...<br /><br />Roismhaire, I remember those dolls fondly as well! Didn't they have really huge feet, too? Try not to associate your wonderful memories of your dolls with the wastes of space we call trolls on the internet.<br /><br />Zelda, I have never fully unleashed my true vileness capabilities on your blog, on or off-topic! Maybe I should work on that...Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-36409346077744648322009-07-01T23:03:09.465-04:002009-07-01T23:03:09.465-04:00I've banned a few who were really vile - not s...I've banned a few who were really vile - not so much because they were vile - but because they were off topic. As far as I'm concerned, you can be as disgusting as you want. The more disgusting, the better.

So when I learned that insulting, dung-filled bags of humanity that left annoying posts on forums/blogs were generally known as "trolls", it made me sad.

Seriously. The nicest group of men and women. It's a joy to come home at night and hear that little "hello, how you doing?" from the interweb. <br /><br />Like you. I hope you and Rita and Lin and I can all meet up as a group some day.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-3234842838602040222009-07-01T20:55:09.668-04:002009-07-01T20:55:09.668-04:00Darn!
