 The Meaning of ... a Troll
According to Webster’s Dictionary of the English language, a Troll is defined as “a giant, mischievous hump-backed cave-dwelling dwarf”. However, we in the internet community have a different definition—a Troll, is sometimes defined as someone who constantly irritates, aggregates, or otherwise just being a big-time total a**hole.
There are many types of Trolls: there are copycat Trolls, there are wannabe Trolls (Ahmed Johnson, please stand up), and then, there are the ultimate Trolls. Real Trolls are rare, rarer still are those limited few who manage to get under your skin, and makes you want to reach into computer screen and strangle them. You see, Trollism is not just a job; it is a form of art. It’s secret is in its ability to argue without ever shutting up, and no matter how obscure or impossible the argument is, they must always stayed the course. Whenever you decided to tango with Troll, be warned, and be prepared to be flamed.
I’ve had the undistinguished pleasure of encountering some real good Trolls in the past, Star War Dollars and Sexy Saiyan at RT, BKB did quite a job over at BOM and most recently over at RT until he was banned.
Well, that quite enough from me right now. Let’s hear what your definition of what a Troll should be, and whom you think is a top dog Troll on this board.

You're not doing a bad job yourself. :?
I don't think Ahmed is a troll at all. Every single one of the posts I've ever read from him have been dead on and address the topic of the thread right on target. I've never seen him post down 75% of one thread the way I sometimes do, and he doesn't even start hundreds of useless threads like this one.

Actually, Ahmed is a cool guy. I've teased him several times and he just laughed it off. I like a guy who can take a good joke.
I may have less posts, but that doesn't mean I don't know most of you. I recognize many from BOM's days. And who would be low enough to check on people's posts anyway.
Another thing Delcevita, it's not a useless thread.

BKB trolls about as good as it can be done. Some have tried to accuse me of trolling as well, but I'm just being an objective voice of reason, and that voice sometimes doesn't fall in line with what people want to hear, so I'm accused of trolling instead of being the realist that I am. Many times, I feel that label is just thrown around to try to discredit the person who others are in opposition with. I feel this strategy has been employed against myself and others , many times.

Yo BKB,
So what's the story on RT, man? I was gonna post your post about your Grand Return to RT on Jan. 25 inconjunction with the releaseof AVP DVD, but what's this I hear about you getting banned permantly and it made you want to quit internet altogether. You can't quit now, SW3 is just around the corner. We need wild SW fans to wreck havoc when it comes out.
I thought you got around to the permantly banned thing, or did RT Mark permantly put a headlock on ya.  Let me know 'cause I don't want to put my neck on the line and you turn out to be a no show.
Keep you eyes on this thread.

I don't post a lot on BOM, only when there are interesting topics. I don't talk with the kids, but a lot of the older guys like BkB, Maverikk, Baumer, Hito, know I exist.
BTW, where is Hito, is he here on this site?
Another thing, why don't you guys hang out at Movie-fever.com. I'm sure they can use the traffic. These guys know what the are doing. We need a legitimate alternative to BOM and Movie-fever can do it. They just need a little help getting off the ground and started running.

In a perfect world, these forums would combine with that site. Regardless, and no matter how much some people are getting pumped up for two minutes to try and revive BOM before they come back down to reality about that dead stick of a forum, I think that everybody here would agree that life without Sean Saulsbury, is life with one less insecure little power hungery idiot without people skills or common sense, and I don't think he is missed. I know I feel better without having to deal with such a jerkoff of an administrator.

Yes, BJ, it's the immortal Captain James T. Kirk screaming Khan's name in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Hell, I actually did return with a thread simply titled: "The Return of BKB" and the posters went apeshit to the point that they sucked RT Mark's dick enough to have me Banned again.. RT Mark ended up deleting that thread along with anything else I posted.. I don't understand why I was really banned from there to begin with?? There are a hell of alot worse posters at RT than me that don't get banned but what the hell?? I guess if your not part of the elit, internet film expert society there, I guess your banned..

he did say why in his journal or a post not sure which. it was saying you were to in your face kinda additude and when people hated you and I guess you got enough people mad at you to hater you. I am very tempted to pm RT-Mark and finfd out from him as to why you got banned.
