The stories lack genuine emotion. The writing seems sterile. The stories move way too fast to be believable. The scenarios are unbelievable. Really, your husband got an iPAD by blowing another guy in a parking lot? C'mon...

For my friend Green Eyes:

If it's a man, is that a giant testicle hanging down in front?

If it's a woman, is this half of her 'front bum'?

Then some newer posters, who weren't here for the exciting story of the original ClaireBear, wanted to know what we were talking about. Threadjacking ensued.

I even think AR noted in the thread that he wasn't calling you a troll, just that your name would cause others to think you might be.
Thank you for clearing all of that up. This was my first time using a forum, and I had no idea what happened to my thread. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'm slowly learning forum rules. Thanks for the response

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist .......

I think there are different levels of trolling.

FWIW, while I think the first reason for a thread is for the OP, I think there is just as much to be gained amongst other posters interacting. So when folks go, hey the OP has gone or was a driveby, I say so what? If there is dialogue going on then good. Let it run its course.

I do think some folks trickle information to see where they can take the story. They seemingly go out of their way to bate and switch people. They try to offer up a morality play and throw in twists to test how people react.

It's the old the bird is in your hands my son ...
