Interesting idea, especially when you want to troll someone. Instead of saying something, you can just moon them.

Raaid has been around for many years and most people respect his right to put his thoughts and theories, you don't have to read his posts, and I admit I don't read many.
Don't respond to his posts if you don't want his reaction just show your maturity and go on to some other subject or post.
Raaid is usually respectfull unless someone upsets him with unkind remarks or naked bullying.
I don't believe he is a troll he's simply been around too long for that to be the case, he is simply lonely and seeks to participate with others.

Take heart Raaid, you have many many friends.

True Ibis, true... Except where he calls everone with an axis aircraft in their sig a nazi - HOWEVER this has been resolved and he has apologised. Which I personally have accepted.

Anyone can post what they want as far as I am concerned. If you dont like it, just move on. Ask questions by all means, disagree even but dont get mad if you can help it.

And if you want to counter Raaaid's garbage you can do if you want to, without expecting any criticism from those that don't care. After all this "right" (which is a fallacy btw) extends to everyone doesn't it Ibis?

I'll disagree on the troll point though. Why would this thread have lasted do long if he weren't?

Sure it does, that's point of it - to problem is where to draw a line.
