| 107222 | 2002-12-20 03:07:00 | >I was under the inpression that it was unwelcome here! well i think it depends on context. Certainly it is unwelcome as a direct insult... telling people to (use imagination) is a definate no-no. I do however think that the bastard operaters link is exceptible, as it is the sort of link many here are likely to get a laugh from, and to call it anything else would be like having a link to disneyland pointing at a porn site. Of course this is entering the grey area of opinion, as i don't think there has ever been a policy set as such. Most bad language is covered by the simple policy of "keep it friendly", which of course excludes direct personal abuse, but does not exclude refering to a site by its name. Anything too rude will be dealt with by the filters, (apart from, dare i say it "microsoft" *thats a CF1 joke) So lets all try to "keep it friendly", and have a good summer solstace, or whatever it is we might celebrate this year. .Clueless |

| 107227 | 2002-12-20 10:24:00 | Thanks for the info Lo. I'm truly amazed that there is actually a name for such people (apart from Dickheads, of course). What a sad lot they must be :( | crozier (2004) | ||

| 107229 | 2002-12-20 12:13:00 | It appears from the Troll FAQ that the term "troll" is not the name for a person, but in fact the name for "a provocative posting to a newsgroup intended to produce a large volume of frivolous responses". Though this "troll" of a thread seems to have succeeded according to the Troll FAQ, this was pure accident. I must admit though, it does sound very interesting to create the perfect troll... my my, what fun I would have if I made it. |

It's the first day of the holidays and I'm not chilled out yet :( I think I'll spend the morning on the computer like I do at work ;) |
