Re: Is "Shiela" a troll?

I have to admit I opted to create a filter and be done with the troll, myself. Usually irritates me to have people responding to someone I can no longer see, but in this case, I think it's a good thing.

The whole thing made me have that Zappa song in my head. . . the line "Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?" Can you imagine having a life so devoid of pleasure that you would spend that much time haunting an online community that clearly couldn't stand you? Poor thing obviously has no RL friends and no clue how to make some.

At least when he/she goes postal, we'll be able to read about it in the papers from a safe distance! <G>
