Indeed.  All of the trolls that I've seen this year appear to be suffering 
from some kind of textual dysentery combined with a truly amazing ability 
to regurgitate parrot-fashion things that they've read elsewhere.  

I am sure that there are those less cynical than I who would view these as 
_incredible_ intellectual feats of memory and wit.  Unfortunately, the 
recent trolls have all the intellectual content of a mentally retarded 
sheep[0] with a $500/day heroin habit.

How nice it must be to life in a world so simple that you can obtain 
self-gratification simply by masturbating your own ego when people read 
and are incensed by your posts.  Perhaps you could inform the list how 
many brain cells need to be killed to achieve this blissful state of 
ignorance?  I am positive that there are many intelligent people on the 
list (along with myself) who would love to know just how you crawled out 
of the Clue Sea and beached yourself.

As for the calls from various people for the troll to reveal himself or 
herself, you probably haven't considered this may be an extremely 
difficult course of action for the troll.  Self-awareness is usually only 
a feature of evolved life forms.

As an aside, if you wish to "credit" me in your next little diatribe, I 
suggest "George 'faggot' Reid" or "George 'arrogant wanker' Reid".  
Hopefully this will save you those extra few minutes in digging around on 
Google and perhaps the saving this will afford you in energy expended by 
both of your synapsing neurons will help you to remember to breathe for a 
little longer.

Ooops.  Did I just killfile this thread?
