I think JL definitely escapes the troll label, and the only thing I find hard to understand about his posts are why he insists on answering questions by providing links to the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. The articles are almost always completely opaque to anyone without at least an MA in theology (or lots of self-study).
And besides, he makes me look moderate.

Did you think about all that credit you'd get when you were running him off? Is that large portion of credit a motivation or just a gratuitous reward?
If I'm a mature Troll, do you want to run me off as well? Are you going to get more or less credit for that?

I dunno the context, but when I read that, I read: "What I ('Priest') do is Faith, what you do is Religion. I will concede that even in the Anti-Christ's maze of Religion (which is anything that isn't My kind of religion in case you're wondering) there are some (misguided) people of Faith. Just as there are some insincere religious people who claim faith. Notice I've been hazy about the proportionate distribution? That's 'cos anyone in Your Religion without My kind of Faith is one of the insincere religious people who 'claim' faith. But I'm not actually going to come out and say that. Oh and. Christ doesn't have space for a doctrine of hate. Which doesn't diminish the fact that you are still wrong by the way."
Thankyou.

If it's not too late to sign up, please count me in as someone who doesn't think you're a troll. And when the RomeBot Uprising comes, do you suppose I could be assigned as housekeeper to a goodlooking, straight priest on whom I could practice my Episcopalian wiles? Just to tell how firm his beliefs really are, of course.

Ruth - given the purge of "nominal catholic" clergy that will doubtless occur, after the Romebot uprising I doubt the poor fellow will have the energy, given the amount of work he'll have on.
JL - I don't think you're a troll, but if it's all the same to you I propose to perish on the barricades. Look for a woodpecker with a 39 button cassock, mirror shades and an uzi. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Um, thanks, but I think I'll be joining Professor Yaffle on the barricades as well. If only for the joy of hanging out with a guy wearing a 39 button cassock, shades and an Uzi. (Schwinggggg!) But only if it's a purple cassock.

I'm not sure why, but in my mind's eye Professor Yaffle now looks like Morpheus from Matrix. Although I don't think Morpheus has quite as many buttons.

Hey folks, on the Brojees thing I admit I was patting myself on the back inappropriately but at the same time I meant something more like, "I think I was the straw that broke the camel's back." In truth, I was hoping that he would come through the conversation with me and join The Ship. As I said, I don't think he's a troll.
As for Brother Ley, what I personally think is not so telling as what the rest of The Ship thinks. Ley Druid's swipe at the whole Ship for having self-defeating threads like this one was called "trolling" by Scot, was vigorously seconded by me, and has been rebutted by...no one. Look at the response to JL. Immediate and positive.
Who was is that said organizations must recognize 'the other' and work to eliminate it? I argued against it but now find myself in favor. Ley Druid, join or leave. You post like a troll, sitting at the margins, egging on those who you say are on your side while belittling The Ship as a whole. Post for six months showing that you really understand the other side. Post in such a way that a dozen or more Shipmates instantly leap to your defense the minute anyone even hints you are a troll.

I never said anything about self-defeating threads. A casual search of Hell and Purgatory reveals more threads talking about Trolls than about the Devil. I think that MasterTroll Theatre plays an interesting part on the SOF. I'm just curious to explore what it is.
I have a high regard for the SOF and all shipmates (Trolls included). Chesteron said "Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is looking for God", I feel the same way about anyone who posts. I will leave the question of my membership in the hands of the very competent hosts.

Why do you suppose they have so much trouble believing that? You have not a single defender so far. Don't you find that fascinating as well?
The Hosts have a huge tolerance for trolls and trolling. You can troll here forever if that's what trips your trigger. All you have to do is keep making empty apologies and then going on your merry way. I've heard it before, and one month later you were back to calling the whole Ship brainless and dickless without apology. Your credibility with me is zero.
If you really believe what you told me about "the other," if you have no defenders, you have been recognized as "the other" whereas JL has been recognized as "self." Perhaps you should treat The Ship as I treat the Catholic Church: perhaps you should only post when a close friend or family member begs you to post, just for them. Deal?

Not so true. As friendly 'alligator eating a troll' avatars peppered around Limbo and Dead Horses testify. It's true that some of the more persistant trolls return time after time, but due to various technical issues we can't really stop them. But suffice to say that the Hosts and Admins are very quick to notice returning morons, usually as they haven't changed in style or content. There is one very recent example.

Let me explain myself a bit more fully. Hosts and admins will always be at the mercy of a determined troll because the troll always has the option of making an empty apology or an empty statement like, “I respect everyone here.” Freedom of speech and forgiveness are valued too highly to say, “I’m not buying it—suspended.” I think Ley Troll gives empty apologies and empty flattery to stay in the game. Thus, Hosts and Admins have to hope he will go away or that people will just start ignoring him.

Impossible. Graham Notron is a connoseiuer of eclectic talent. If you were his alter ego, by now you would have hired kenwritez as a sketch writer, Erin as a bodyguard, Chastmastr as one of the runway escorts, and you would be dating Merseymike. And you would have a sly but sweet "Since you axed" segment wokred into your program. So, when I see the contract in the mail....

While I'm at it, I don't mind Ley Druid or his posts. The board needs more Catholics. Preferably Pre-Conciliar, all-singing, all-dancing. More Orthodox wouldn't go astray too.

JimT, if you have an argument with Ley Druid, then start your own personal argument thread (having paid me first) to have it out with him. If you don't have an argument with him, then I expect you will no longer being posting attacks and arguments on him on this thread.
