I’m sorry, I don’t think you understand what a troll is. A troll is someone who comes into a forum (or mailing list, or whatever) for the sole intent of provoking argument. You came onto the LEXX fora of the Sadboard first by claiming that S4 of LEXX was horrible, and that Farscape beat it, hands down. You may or may not be aware that LEXX boards have long fallen victim to malicious Farscape “fans” who do nothing but post antagonistic messages on LEXX boards, saying the same thing you’d said — in other words, engaging in trollish behavior. You were “jumped on” by a small number of people here who, seeing some stranger posting for the sole purpose of putting the show down, believed you to be a troll. You later admitted that you were posting simply to provoke people and rile them up — allegedly because you needed reminding why you liked LEXX to begin with. Of course, you did the same thing on *another* board, under an alias, thinking that no one would notice. Again — actions designed purely for provocation and to foster argument rather than engender discussion or conversation. Again — trollish behavior. After I called you on this, you decided to mock me in name, both on this board, and on the other board — one that I don’t even frequent regularly. Even after it’s been made abundantly clear that I do not frequent the other board, you continue to do so. Again — actions designed purely for antagonism. Again — trollish behavior.
So forgive me if I don’t buy your contention that you didn’t know what you were getting into. And forgive me for using a term that you could twist around in useless philosophical babbling to mean anything. I should have just said that, to my eyes, you’re lying your pants off. I apologize if I can’t believe your statements to the effect of “I didn’t know what I was stepping in until I stepped in it…even though I did the very same thing on another board after being reprimanded for it here, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into…but, y’know, I had this article I was writing, and I needed to vent my spleen somewhere.” I’m sorry if I don’t think your pleas of [i]mea culpa[/i] are sincere.
In fact, I don’t think that there are enough stars in the sky to number how many ways of sorry I truly am.
