I'm not convinced it takes 13. I'm guessing the poster who said it was based it on a post having 12 1's and then he voted to remove and it went away. But both 1 and remove votes score as 1 so there weren't necessarily 12 prior remove votes.

But when an erroneous belief of yours is challenged, you resort to name calling, that is why you are considered a troll.

This is not true, and even you know that it is not true.

If it were not true, I would not have written it.

Pshaw![^] It's *always* you "community" types who do that, and then whine (and, of course, lie) when you get it served back to you. You "community" fellows are bullies *and* sissies. And it's just so unfair, isn't it, that I'm neither impressed nor intimidated.

Maybe an option could be added to the user options to allow each user to set up a list of 'ignore users' - so if you don't want to read posts by someone,just add 'em to the list without forcing your preferences on other users.

They have that option, already, in two forms: 1) self-control [some maturity required] 2) some script written by one of "the comminity" to filter out any post made by posters they think beneith their exalted dignity [has the unfortunate side effect of allowing others to still read the posts if they wish]

What's wrong is that the so-called troll is not a troll

Yes, you are.

It's very infuriating to those who cannot abide rational criticism of their cherished (and erroneous) beliefs.

You mean name calling when people try to discuss your endless stream of links ?

Almost as amusing as Fearless Leader's "even-handedness."

A persecution complex is not surprising, I mean, how else do you respond to a community that is united in disregarding you ?

I think that may have changed. I suspect the votes may be weighted now so that Golds and Platinums can shut the door on him more quickly. At any rate, there have been times when I have been 6th or 7th in and his message was grayed when I refreshed the page.
