I’m glad I went to happy hour and missed the daily trolling yesterday.

But I’m kind of sad I missed the boobs&poop talk.

Well, after 12 hours I guess we have an answer:

No, MNspeak is not smarter than a fifth grader.

But it's way sexier.

Yepnope totally would have posted anything regarding her acids and bases over in the feminine hygiene thread…she knows how to stay on topic.

I plan to do a video/blog tour of my next house from start to finish, and include all the nasty demolition. Wheee!

Demolition nasty? That hasn't been my experience. It has always been fun. Of course, I've never had to demolish anything with poop problems...

"For the love of God, people, stop responding to the troll."

There is no gawd, so, as a motivational rallying point, I'd look for something more universally revered. "Drugs" usually works, as does "Chateau Lafite", and of course "Glenmorangie" can turn the most contentious mob into a focused beam of effort.

"Here's a tip -- if it's a mean-spirited comment, or a bullying accusation that I'm somehow doing my job improperly, or something unpleasant about the Bartels, . . . "

Sure, set it up so I either change my entire commenting personality, or I'm a "troll." Weak debating technique, Max. Try the merits instead. Sheesh.

Hey Max, if I had a friend who had herpes, could you make that go away, too?

Ranty - I never said there was anything wrong with saggy breasts. Remember that I'm of the "breasts are just a bonus" camp.

"Something tells me that one of the Bobby_b's posting on this thread is an impostor."

Guilty. Sorry. Oh, gawd, so sorry . . . (sob!) I just couldn't stop . . . But, frankly, it feels good - yeah, clean, refreshing and freeing, really - to finally get caught and exposed and get it all out in the open and stop living the damn lie! Thanks, teuc! The sunlight feels . . . . great!

Okay, here it is. . . . Hi! My name's not bobby, and I only play a conservative on the internet.

(Oh, but, unless you're referring to some post that's been deleted such that, now, at 7:30, it's gone and I missed it, all posts above right now really were mine.)

Other Lurker: Yeah, except that we’re asked to give our real names if we register. Which I decided to do when I registered as I don’t really have any big issues with people knowing my name. But it is a risk, to insist on real names and then to leave them open for public inspection.

Linking to blogs and the like ought not to be controversial. I think the issue may be more one that it doesn’t appear possible to IP ban the weird stalker, or that he is using an anonymizer service.
