He's still here and was posting last week. InfamousCornholio or something like that is his new name. He's had several others since then.

The ignore feature is akin to giving up.

Use ignore button, notify for posts that are in violation of board rules.

Those are your options

What's amusing to me is that people take this site so seriously.
This is NOT a professional/trademan's site, nor a workplace/office site, if it were I'd agree with banning folks for stuff that GHT and Carnoobie did, but it is NOT. I definitely think that the some members abuse the "notify" button as well. Unless someone is threatening a member or something truly serious like that folks need to stop
leaning on the horn button so much. It's like little kids tattling on each other.

No, the ignore feature is the board's way for you to say, "Not my circus, not my monkeys!"

Sad part is I think they potentially drive big sponsors away them thinking do we really want to be in bed with these clowns.

I don't really see a problem. He must have gotten under your skin.

i Can't believe THIS thread!

That's real subjective personal matters being Forummed ...

I got pretty much unconfortable by the targeting, because that could be myself

Do you post useless posts over and over? Do you post just to start arguments? Do you allow your comments to quickly become personal, calling people names who don't agree with you?

If not then this thread isn't about you.

I actually read it as Mr Sandman, like from the comics. He tends to be rude, needlessly sarcastic, and less willing to take a joke than most. I don't see him as a troll, just a dude with antisocial personality disorder. Shrug.

He said he was going to ignore me, so I guess he'll never read this. Which, IMO, is fine. I can say whatever I want!!

His grammar and punctuation in his posts is irritating. It makes them hard to read. Anything that makes your reader stop and go " Huh? Oh, that period isn't supposed to be there" is just a distraction from your message.

I can't believe how passionate that oil filter section has become - folks in there are defending filters as if they were their own children.

 

[SatinSilver]

I guess I've kind of lost track of the cast of characters on here.

 

[eljefino]

The double-troll who uses two handles simultaneously to pat himself on the back is an impressive study in Psychology for those who like to do so, from a safe distance.

There is sometimes a fine line between troll and basic idiot, if we can get something we consider common knowledge through to the reader that he didn't get from a missing dad or some other life problem, yay for us.

 

[speedyb]

Its called freedom of speech. Something the U.S keeps going on about. Is it not practiced here?

 

[InfmousCornholio]

Invincibility lies in the defense; The possibility of victory in the attack.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. They are like bungholes, and I am The Great Cornholio. Ask The Great Cornholio.

OP and about a handful of other posters here need some training on basic social skills. [censored] I'm a socially awkward guy and even I know that. The best medicine? Laugh at them.

Becaus of us are fine, and reading through here, most of us have the right idea.

I must be so vein... I think I thought this thread was about me. I'm so vein (I'm so vein..) I think I thought this thread was about me. Bout me. Bout me. I can hold a note, too. I do it for everyone. Cornholio Loves You. Vaya Con Cornholio.

I wish I could give some of you a great big hug, but my understanding of firearms says that a 440 is a large round (sounds like .44 Long) . It's all good though. Lets me know who has problems beyond my control. Since we are posting indirectly, and all. (I also used to live in Monroe NY so I dense a fellow New Yorker lol. So, I'm curious...)

Then I saw the link. The Mr and Mrs Sandman character may be some kind of anti-spam troll, but who cares. Maybe he has no life. Been there, done that. Now if he starts to do like others here do, and single someone out or lie or spread misinformation, then.. But you gotta be careful: Trolls with guns use what you say against them.

Mr Sandman sounds like Pac Man to me. And I get to see Pac-Man every night.. when someone orders two slices of pizza, as you know was the inspiration for Pac Man, before I was even born. Gotta love it.

I find the trolls on here funny. It's sad they choose a motor oil forum out of all places to do their trolling.
