huh? Skidoo or anyone else is definitely not invincible with me and that's really all that counts [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] If you want some character witnesses as to Skidoo's status as a troll, look no further than SMP. Of course, half of the posters there have had him on ignore for awhile, so they might not have any recent evidence to point to... In SMP, he trolls the Darwinists and atheists, in Politics he trolls the ACists. He also posts under the name "Sharkey" -- who was even more reviled before he trotted out "Skidoo". |

[/ QUOTE ] I hit notiy mods on like 80% of Skidoo's posts that I read, as he's very clearly trolling (AKA, not interested in any kind of dialogue and simply trying to push people's buttons). I rarely do with Linus because I don't really think he's trolling so much as just ignorant and wrongheaded (my opinion obviously). |

Raving anti-capitalism is the best way to troll ACists. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

It's hard to tell what Linus's intentions are. He does seem young, naive, and strongheaded more than anything. Skidoo/Sharkey is a textbook troll. |

Then he started posting in Politics, and realized that he's definitely just a troll. |

Re: Politics - An Ultimate and Inevitable Victory
I think the mods are not doing a very good job.
I really don't understand why they lock so many threads. I asked iron81 about why he is locking threads just because they address questions in the AC FAQ. So what? Why disallow further discussion? The mods are trigger happy and should allow a freer discussion as long as it doesn't turn into vitriol and personal attacks. natedogg |
