    Nah, The Grand Negus was more my speed. All I saw was message automatically removed and a couple of threads complaining about him. So, I thought I'd ad a voice to the few others that suggest ignoring trolls. That's all.

    What I have discovered is that some people here appear to need someone to hammer on. Like you are doing right now to me. I suggest something like ignore a troll, and people such as you choose to attempt witty insults aimed at me. So, you think I should have thrown up instead of ranting in the soapbox. Fair enough. You're entitled to your opinion. Welcome to it. As am I, and I exercised it. You can just as well ignore my posts you know. Nice attempt at witty entertaintment though Rob. You're content is usually more valuable than this post. Pity. But hey, someone thought that abusive barb was funny, so looks like you're not alone in your sentiments. OK, ignore my suggestion. Hell, even when someone leave CP for awhile, who do they ask about when they return? Negus, Captain, Illion, ... interesting. And I've been on the site since its inception. Just not with this account. As far back as CodeTools.com. I just like this moniker. :) My original account is member # 960. So, you're not insulting a newbie. :laugh:

    Every village needs an idiot and he's the SBs village idiot. Depriving the village of their idiot will not be appreciated.

    Yep the village idiot, if you take away the village idiot you must epect to replace him as a target for a while at least. Besides there are too many here who like playing with the village idiot and they will continue to do so. This is born out by the number of rants that have been started and the years he has been inhabiting the SB.

      So you write a post to: A) Remind me that X exists B) I should ignore X Do you know the meaning of "contradiction"? BTW, don't need to tell me to ignore the particular instance of X you referred to. I already block all his posts; can't read them. AFAIK he only appears in SB indirectly, in posts like yours. ;P

                I was just ranting out loud. I wasn't talking to you personally. My apologies if people thought I was talking to them like children. My mistake, I thought the soapbox was all about the rants. And likewise, I don't wish to fight, just don't see the value in trying to insult me. The way I saw it I could only have insulted those with whom the shoe fits. If I'm wrong and I insulted the entire list membership, then I do sincerely apologize.

                      Happens to the best of us. You have to make that mistake to learn that the SoapBox is really for ambushing people who post a rant. You generally catch 70% of a threads ire just by being the original poster.

                              Looks like you are confusing my original post (which is what I was replying to) with a reply later (which you are quoting). I only meant my original post with regards to my apology. Not my replies. If you start with the abuse, I'll more than happily join in and attempt to make a comedy out of it. If it still insists on being tragic then I'll move on. But, if you're really that bored, scour the net for some political piece to talk about. Why attempt to pick apart my words and hold me to task? Do you love me that much that you insist on making me a better person?

                                    True. He's been on the site a few years, but I distinctly remember him showing up shortly after Red and the Negus left. For that matter Kyle left as well.

                                      Follow the thread. I already posted with my old accounts. No more blog? Back to your old username? Worksafe now? How's your hubby?

                                        useful at getting my article account uni-voted. Other than that it sounded more like a barb disguised as a helpful hint.

                                        You are blaming me because you chose to reveal your sock puppets? I apologise for leading you to the dark side.

                                          Looks like you are confusing my original post (which is what I was replying to) with a reply later (which you are quoting). I only meant my original post with regards to my apology. Not my replies. If you start with the abuse, I'll more than happily join in and attempt to make a comedy out of it. If it still insists on being tragic then I'll move on. But, if you're really that bored, scour the net for some political piece to talk about. Why attempt to pick apart my words and hold me to task? Do you love me that much that you insist on making me a better person?

                                          You're right. I could be doing something important - like sorting my socks. So, I think I will.
