Ignore the Troll has been suggested many times before. Seems like not ignoring the thread must be some male confrontational thing. You know, strike up the band and go to war. Once someone starts, it's a feeding frenzy.

I always thought (and yes, I admit to being guilty of it myself!) that part of it could be that it's far easier to /not/ ignore the troll online than it is to ignore him/her/it too.

starone, that's a really good insight, probably true in a lot of cases!

tis the best of advice, though hard at times to adhear to

But your correct, and I will attempt to delete instead of clicking submit in the future.

Rules Of Men's Fashions

Rule #1: A man must never buy pants with the word "bottom" in the name, such
as "Cavernous Bottom", "Bulbous Bottom", "Bottomless Bottom" or "My God, is
that your Bottom?" jeans.

Rule #2: Before purchasing any item of clothing, a man must raise his right
hand and repeat aloud the following somber pledge: "I [your name here] do
solemnly swear that [clothes item here] does not make me look like Travolta
from Saturday Night Fever, Grease or Urban Cowboy. So help me, John."

Rule #3: A man must walk out of the store if a clerk makes reference at any
time to his crotch, particularly the dreaded comment/accusation "it's a
little roomy in the crotch there, isn't it sir?" As for the unexpected
reverse crotch fabric yank and tuck maneuver executed at many finer men's
stores, you can expect to hear from our lawyers.

Rule #4: A man must show no hint of style or flair and strive at all times
to approximate Stalin-era work camp garb. To help resist the urge to
improvise, simply recall those 70's shirts with french street scenes, long
beagle dog collars, and absolutely no natural fibers. These were once
thought to be stylish. Men might still be wearing them today, were it not
for OSHA's landmark ruling that they were simply too flammable for public
use.

Rule #5: A man must never purchase clothes with visible writing, unless it
is related to sports or Bart Simpson. This is especially true of
Euro-sounding phrases like "Chunnel Boy" or sissified concoctions such as
"Mummsy's Yacht Club".

Rule #6: A man must never independently spend more than twenty dollars on
any item of clothing. Suits, and other big-ticket items are covered in
Appendix A: "Asking Mom for Help";

Rule #7: One item per category. If you are shopping with your wife and she
suggests "these slacks are nice," the proper response is "I already *have* a
pair of pants. When your one item is no longer wearable, rise from the
dinner table and announce with feeling "My shirt is dead. I need a new one."

how about noob trolls as in trolls in training

A man must never independently spend more than twenty dollars on
any item of clothing.
That is so me ...............

Freedom is just another word for "blue light special"

Starone, you picked me in one.

Hey, I paid more $20 for clothing.. The place was called Structure.. Which was a great place to shop. All the hot chicks. Plus the cloths last a long time. Mine are still in great shap and they changed their name. Which I don't like what they went to. I can't remember the name though.

A man should never be allowed to go shopping for dress shirts next door to a Retro-Concert-T-Shirt store alone.



"But baby the dress shirt was 50 bucks and I got a Pink Floyd and a Zepplin for 45!"

, mine are like dressier or you could say casual type clothes. Where you wear a white T under and the over shirt. Can't think straight.. Overdose of Pepsi.. :crazy:

JOLT Cola !!

yeah, South Beach

for the most part when I go anywhere including meetings I wear cackies, boat shoes t-shirt and a short sleve print button up not buttoned. casual
.
I do have a closet full of suits, red ties with various vendor lapel pins in my tie clip tray. I do not miss them one bit, though I do miss picking locations for towers and engineering data communications links in places where there are no other means of doing it.
.
Climbing 300 feet up on a tower and clipping on, letting go and just hanging back into the air with your feet on a rung or handy steel strut is, neat

LMAO, need to try that some time.

Communication is the key to human interaction. Jesus said if you have a problem with a fellow person, let them know.

Is hitting the back button or deleting an angry document follow those excellent guidlines?

Delicious, trolls generally have NOTHING to do with genuine communication and more to do with just wanting to stir up trouble and try to rile up folks etc. etc. etc....

Negative threads are different in that they are for the 'airing of honest grievances' and might need to be cleared up through 'communication' so that there aren't any misunderstandings.

I guess what I was trying to say is just this:

I've posted a few negative threads myself but not to "push buttons" as much as to genuinely clear things up or to try to gain a genuine understanding of a problem or situation at hand that was bothering me.

BUT…With “trolls”...they just want to start a fire that is based on groundless accusations at ‘best’ and usually just utter nonsense at worst…and then they sit back and watch everyone throw gasoline on it while they privately chuckle in childish, demonic glee. Just like today, somebody let loose an ugly worm and for what? It was pointless and ugly and nonsensically idiotic and trolls are the pretty much the same...

Hi My broser is not working quite right ever since the worm is there anything I can do?

yeah...it's not your browser...read the SQ Hell thread for the info
