not my idea of fun at all, and my participation will be less, not more, until resolved

I imagine Radar will eventually get around to calling me a troll among all the rest of his attempts to win a pissing contest standing at the bottom of a well -- so far he's definitely working on calling me everything but a precious child of God. And look how I turn out.

But then you do think I'm pulling the connection between gun control and genocide out of my arse. That's not where I'm drawing it from, m'dear.

Firstly I don't have a problem with you, and don't care what the other guys say cause you haven't given me a reason to lash out at you or whatever.

I just want to know... (And i've asked this question before)

Why do you keep replying to your own replies?

In answer to the OP, I think it's because we're basically a bunch of smart-arses.
When someone is so obviously taunting us, we simply can't resist the urge to say something back.

We know the mature thing to do is stay silent, but there are just too many things that pop into our heads and via our fingers onto the internet.
But if some of us weren't like that, the Cellar wouldn't be what it is.

Kudos to those that listen to the mature voice of course.
The silent majority.
Personally I like a bit of drama. And at least when it's from an outsider it means there's no long lasting consequences.
She'll run around showing her knickers for a while, we'll shout and stomp and then when it goes quiet we relax again.

It's just a shame she joined too late for secret santa. I would totally trust her to participate.

I'm not a troll but I own a troll doll. Does that count for anything?

Trolls are so successful because they are better and smarter than you. Occam's Razor.
