Who's a bigger Troll, Bailo or NoSpam?

I'm sorry, I just felt compelled to ask...I haven't heard from old NoSpam
for a while, and then he appears while Bailo Disappears. I would like to
see a thread with those two actually arguing something. So here's what I'm
wondering... Circuses back in the day had SideShow freaks. They aren't as
big as they used to be, so when they got laid off at the circus, I think two
of them decided to pretend to be programmers. So if this NG was going to
have an Official SideShow Troll, who would you vote for? I'm voting for
NoSpam b/c at least bailo can be funny sometimes.

Hi Bill,

|| I haven't heard from old NoSpam for a while,
|| and then he appears while Bailo Disappears

Hmmm... a case of MPD perhaps? (multiple personality disorder)

But my vote has to go to Herfried, as you might guess. He doesn't
even <begin> to approach these two Greats but his tiresomeness value
far exceeds theirs - in the manner of a fly buzzing around the room. :-((

Regards,
Fergus

Don't give 'em any praise, you'll just encourage them :).

Thanks Scott: Yes, I guess I am a supertroll because I got frustrated with
the Nonsense of Bailo and NoSpam. It's true I don't spend a lot of time
pointing out brilliant insights like the MS Updates posts are viruses, nor
do I make a habit of posting things which have no point, are totally
inflamatory and or make arguments which I fail to back up. I didn't know
making light hearted posts about the annoyance of two widely acknowledged
trolls...I'll make sure I keep everything relevant to your standards in the
future....

Lighten up kid, it was a joke...

I think he was just saying that because this kind of talk encourages trolls.
We all understand your frustrations (we all feel them), but the best thing
is to ignore them completely.

If you really want to vent frustrations, look into some anger-management
kind of technique. OR, the easier way, load up Counter-Strike, add some
low-intelligent bots with the names of your favourite trolls, and blast
away. Or be creative. Just don't let the trolls know about it (i.e., don't
post the NGs about it :)). I'm sure they'd get tons of kicks out of
imagining people throwing darts at their names and so on.
