Hi Don......There is a really interesting site somewhere or another thattalks about "good" and "bad" trolls. Trolling is simply asking questions in a way to provoke discussion so obviously this can be done in a good way, a way to make you think out of the box or see an issue in a different light.....a good troll. The "bad" troll provokes discussion but by asking things in an immflammatory manner which is obviously meant NOT to bring out ideas and debate, but simply to anger.

Awhile back on one of these two threads, I suggested that Roger is some kind of new type or different troll as I really don't believe he fits in either category. Now before someone jumps on me "pigeonholing" here, I'm not. I was then and am now simply trying to see the reasoning behind his continuing efforts to make his point(s). A good troll would have stopped long ago and a bad troll .......... well, ya' know, I've known Roger here for a long while and no matter his feeling towards me or I towards him and no matter how far apart we stand on these issues of his, I can't believe he is or has it in him to be the classic "bad troll." So I am lost for a reason as to why this non-debate continues.

Everyone and their grandmother has told him to take his issues to Max and this isn't happening. He seems to want a "following" of some sort behind him but he also states he has one (all evidence to the contrary).........So why not go to Max?

I ask the question of everyone out there.......Does anyone understand Shambles' motivation here and why he doesn't take his issue(s)to Max at this point? Right now the only reason I see that he doesn't is that he is so taken up with the verbage of his cause and he loves to read his own stuff or perhpas he really is just another troll of some different sort, some good and some bad and all of it a pain in the ass. Anyway, I'm at a loss to understand anything he does anymore...........Maybe he's a Masochistic Troll instead of a sadistic one.(;<))
