Holy Cow, I am not a Troll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (What is Dennis B Smoking?)

[Anonymous]

Well judging from the crowd in here with the help of your aggressive and antagonistic posts you seem to have picked up a real fan club. Of course it helps to spread the love by going out and picking fights by going into other forums like CTT (although you are a HO man) to stir up trouble.

Thats all for me I will go back to my new hobby of collecting dust bunnies. My new hobby that you kindly tipped me off on in the CTT forum. Thanks it was very consciderate of you to tip on this new and exciting hobby. It is very relazing and I rarely get in conflicts in the on line forum for it.

Peace in the MR forum. The post that this grew from is in the CTT forum and should have stayed there to keep it in context. Instead of playing one forum against the other.

I'm with you ARTHILL. It doesn't seem to make much difference to me if he's 4, 40, or 400. We're talking about trains here. Heck, some of them trains are only minutes old, and others are pushing 170! Are we to discriminate against them?

Maybe I'm just missing the point.

I think that was your point ARTHILL.

Again, I'm with you!

I'm going to go sit in the corner and and rock back and forth humming a single note now. [:p]

Dennis B...you might ought to get your fact straight before you go posting. Yes, 14 year-olds do occasionally get small jobs such as a small position at Burger King. Whoever said that stuff about you, Lotus, has unjust reasons. They have no clue what they are talking about. May I ask, what forum did this occur in? Please, don't allow them to ruin your fun. Just shake it off and ignore them. I agree, you seem to handle your posts logically and maturely.

Have a good day, and guys-Leave him the heck alone...Let him post in peace.

I kind of felt like I was 13 again! This reminds me of the fights at the bike racks after school, usually I was the one in the fights as my cousin was the big guy and I was the smaller guy, they always picked on me, but I always stood up and held my ground. Go Lotus, if you are being honest with all of us, and I hope you are, though you sure do write in a mature manner, much more so then me and I am 45 [:(]

I don't know either party in this, but I do know there are forums were some take it upon themselves to be the self appointed moderators or "channel master" like in the old CB radio days. There that should prove I am over 40 [:D]

Big croud, can we charge to see this?

Ahem , Dennis B should post to fire this up a bit[soapbox]

Not caught, just working on the railroad while I still have summer break. About the employment I do as much part timework as I can get, most of it for my father, he produces customer service training material, for companies. I help with the layout and printing, one of the bigger projects I worked on was the Burger King project. I don't claim to pay income tax; I rue the day I will have too. I get fed up enough at the fact I pay sales tax and can't vote. Are you convinced yet?

[Anonymous]

I thought if you did a lot of reading and not much posting you were "lurking". Actually, I don't see anything wrong with that. When i first started coming to these forums I just watched a while before I started posting. And I don't post as much on Model Railroader as I do Trains. That doesn't mean I don't read and enjoy it.

Don't you think that's better than the 13 year old kid we had on here this spring who treated this like his personal chat room? Of course, now the question is...was he REALLY a 13 year old kid?

To Dennis B.

If you legally work as a student, taxes come off paychecks right? They do at least in Canada. I don't know what Idaho State taxation laws are, I just know of what it is in Ontario and as the federal government.

The age doesn't mean much either as labour laws are different in Canada then in the U.S. I don't know what the legal age limit is in Idaho for working in a printing shop or Burger King so unless you know and can prove otherwise; the only thing you are doing is trolling.

So, if you have proof to back up your clames against Lotus, keep your negative attitude to yourself. Also, even if he was a troll, nothing pleases a troll more then for us to respond. Believe me; in the Magazine part of the forum we have had one guy who has had at least 5 alias including Trainfinder22. If it is a problem, evetually they will slip up and Bergie will nuke the troll.

Hm-m-m-m-m-m....I do a lot of reading and little posting on this forum....Does that make me a troll?? Just because I don't post a lot of messages?? I'll need to take lessons from Space Mouse on how to originate thougtfull and inciteful topics...and how to write up a great response from Joe Fugate...... Hope you guys don't charge too much.......as a county employee, I don't make much......

[loathar]

I still like the troll definition about them living under a bridge in Mich.
GO BUCKEYES!!!!

[wctransfer]

Wow, that is some incriminating evidence, and Lotus hasnt posted yet. He may have been caught.

Trolls are little ugly gnomes that used to hang around under bridges in the Black Forest and attack people like Little Red Riding Hood and Rumplestiltskin if they didn't pay a fee to cross the bridge. You remember the signs, don't you?

STOP--PAY TROLL!!

A troll is an online denizen that baits a forum by making statements or asking questions to deliberately incite emotional reactions. Usually they hang around and fan the flames to keep the anger, etc. going.

[DrummingTrainfan]

ok. thanks.

This is from answers.com:

Technology
trolling

• Surfing, or browsing, the Web.


• Posting derogatory messages about sensitive subjects on newsgroups and chat rooms to bait users into responding.


• Hanging around in a chat room without saying anything, like a "peeping tom."

On the one hand it is "So what?" but on the other hand we exchange a lot of advice on a lot of subjects, so there is an element of trust, as well.

[jjbmish]

Now the crowd is getting bigger.

[skiloff]

I think this falls into the category of so what? Whether he is or isn't, I don't care unless he is somehow degrading the forums, which doesn't seem apparent. Personally, I started working when I was 11 years old at an A&W. Yes, my parents owned it, but I made more money with less work than my paper route. I worked as a gas jockey when I was fourteen and had we not purchased a different restaurant, it is conceivable that I could have gone to work at many different places. Still, reading those other posts does make it quite suspicious. I just don't see the point in pretending you are something you are not, but thats your prerogative. Unless you somehow degrade the forums, I just say, "so what?"

I think I may know what you have in mind, once you said that the possible answer popped in my head.

Who cares how old you are?!? As long as you make positive contributions and play nice with others. Who Cares? I've been in printing for 20 years and seen a lot of small shops that had young family members working at them.Mc Donalds, Burger King, Krogers. All these places can hire 13 or 14 year olds to do certain jobs on a limited work schedual.
Ignore the ignorence and move on...

Wow, feel like we have a crowd standing around:

The bell has rung, and the fans await the response of contender Lotus089! The suspense is killing the audience as we brace ourselves for Lotus's response to Dennis B's SMACKDOWN he posted just minutes ago...
