I was going to start in on that Drunk troll but figured I would just catch the next one (looking at my watch shouldn't be much longer )
My votes for toolfan, enough post to establish true trolly nature, 'course its more of a January thing than Feb with him.

Who invented this word "Troll" and what does it mean? I assume it's not a good thing though. Never in my life have I ever heard or been called a "Troll".
Who invented the word "Troll"?? Havnt you heard kids stories? The Evil Troll under the bridge? Your assumption is correct. Dont ask too many questions like this, and you wont be called a Troll.
I find is somewhat amusing that the origin of the word troll is not understood by many, and is often taken to mean those characters that scared us in childrens' fairytails. Originally a "Troll" referred to the post not the poster, and was associated with the time honoured fishing method of trolling a lure, waiting for the "fish" to bite. As the internet has evolved it's become associated more with the poster than the post. As more people appear to associate the term with those cute little characters under the bridge, somehow that misnomer has stuck, and the original meaning of the word has changed. I'll be interested to see in ten years time if anyone remembers the original meaning or if the term evolves into something else again.

He and I have had it out via PM. I am typically slow to anger, but this guy was persistant enough- albeit indirectly. I did not want to inadvertantly discourage his posting as he has asked some good questions in the tech section and is proud of his 348TS; however, his posts in Off Topic are consistantly in poor taste and many are downright offensive and threatening. I told him to clean up or go away and in response he's hurled vile insults at me and my family that I won't bother repeating. While I wasn't advocating his ban initially, I suspect that I would now. Bottom line: It's like bringing Ron Jeremy to Disneyland.
Uhm (snicker) wonder who has had more Rides - Ron or space mountain.... You know when it comes around to one man's amusement park is another man's job he hates....
