Jim,
If Erin would be kind enough to list her top five trolls on Wood's thread, that would be much appreciated.

Lifeman, are you hoping you'll be in there? Because you will be sadly dissapointed. You are hardly a beginner troll, let alone worthy of mentioning.
Oops, DNFTT.

Fortunately their work is not in public view for you to try and copy, Lifeman. So my list of the six true trolls, in NO particular order:
- Joanne
- manalive*
- Reason
- Jim Powell
- Max Chapman
- munchen/p_a_r
NOTE: only one non-Christian on this list. *Possibly gets a bye, because there is the chance that he actually believed the crap he posted.

Thanks Erin,
The only one of those trolls I've heard of is Manalive (and that's only because some people thought that I was he when I first started posting). If he's anything to go by (from what I was told) I don't think I'd want to copy any of them.

Jim Powell and max chapman were the same person, that i'm 90% sure of. If max chapman was not jim powell then it was someone else who was acting as a voice for jim powell.
'They' were both dreaded theimeites and i can guarentee that 'they' believed what they preached and were not trolls.
Jim powell and his alter ego used to post on churchnet and jim powell was a rancher or a farmer in texas as I recall.

Not sure if this constitutes a troll question, but Erin once said this:
quote: I can't do it. I can't flame a guy who admits he has a tiny tallywhacker.
Does anyone remember who provoked this remark and why? Just curious.

IIRC that was IBP, not a troll, Kelly. However, I think your question is timely, given Erin's remarkably measured response to Lifeman.
Do you think she feels pity for one who has shown himself to have a tiny trollywhacker?

You call that lovely shape? We have one newbie who's just pissing people off, and one mid-termer who's making thinly disguised threats then not carrying them out. Poor show, if you ask me.

Chris T,
If I understand you correctly, there are only two trolls (of any note) who are presently active.
That sounds pretty good to me when there are well over 4000 posters registered.

Janine - fair enough, I posted my opinion as well. And there's nothing superior about me, I just know some of what goes on behind the scenes.
Lifeman - I was being a tad sarcastic. Let me explain. I like fireworks, arguments and spats. Therefore with only a handful of people 'rocking the boat' it's a "poor show" that we won't be getting much of that. Not that I want trolls particularly, but they do give me entertainment when they are slapped and thrown overboard.Hence: quote: I want to see Erin the Alligator in action again!
Call me voyeuristic and nasty if you want.
Divine - I meant Lifeman. That's just my opinion from my observation, of course.

One thing about the Ship, and I believe this is a signature for someone at the moment, is something someone said about Erin:

Lifean, I agree that you are mild-mannered. However there have been several posts of your lately that I consider to have given away your intent to troll (to whatever depth). That, in my book, is making threats. In the same way that one when joking with a friend could say "is that a threat or a promise?".
The real problem for me is that you in no way measure up to a real troll - you are but a pale imitation, a shadow, a fake copier of trolling tendencies. You have proved yourself to be no more interesting than a rather mediocre act on "Stars in Their Eyes".

Fair point Chris,
I'll never be a great troll and that's because I could'nt take the vocation seriously enough. Some past instances of 'trolling' on my part have'nt been meant seriously at all and to my amusement I've been taken seriously. For example, I once posted a thread in Hell comparing America today to the ancient Roman empire (for example WWF is the new form of gladiators) and it was only meant to a joke - it got moved to purgatory!

Damn it, Lifeman, could you be any more sanctimonious? You remind me of the kid who was top of the class, the one with the very shiny shoes and very proud parents, who would smile sweetly with just a hint of a sneer as others failed to attain his "standards".
For your reference, perchance it be something you encounter again:
troll = arsehole Lifeman = troll (albeit a crap one)
therefore
Lifeman = arsehole

Chris, In answer to your question, I could actually be more sanctimonious but I refrain from doing so lest it cause you any further offence, the avoidance of which is more important to me than furthering my posts.

On one of the flyswatting threads we had a few days back, someone said that Vindaloo dissolves "first your larynx then your sphincter." A clever soul (coughmecough) pointed out that if vindaloo dissolved sphincters, it should work on trolls.

Oh, if you want something really unbearable, try a Malaysian Chicken laksa. Its an excruciatingly hot soup that manages to make a vindaloo seem like a korma even though its got lots of coconut milk. Any Mancunians, the example at the Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown is particularly evil.
