Yeah but I don't give a s**t about his or anyone else's gamesmanship
If he or any other 'known troll' makes a point I agree with or have something I can add to, I will. If I felt they were baiting me for a particular response then I'd ignore it, yes. If they were just repeating the same opinion (whether I agree with it or not) without adding any new slant then I'd probably ignore it unless I felt what I was adding was the new slant or additional info. I don't like the idea of people shouting others down, it just looks like playground bullying to me: 'we've decided we don't like x, we don't talk to x' - regardless of whether they 'deserve' it or not. I always used to stick up for the outcasts in school, probably because I'd been one a lot of the time. It is perfectly plausible that in the heat of the moment, esp given the passion with which we ALL hold this club/sport, that people can misjudge and misinterpret others, or that opinions aren't best expressed and arguments blown out of proportion. I then refuse to villify anyone concerned esp considering I might disappear for ages then on return forget who hated who and for why and which side is the accepted right side etc etc (esp when I never consider things as black and white as some do on here, so often see good arguments on both sides). It's too much hassle trying to keep stock of multiple usernames - always was: I never changed mine from the beginning - well, at one point years back I created a 2nd account and considered posting anonymously to relieve myself of any baggage but decided against it and never used it (beyond a test post and 'intro' or response to someone welcoming me I think it was) - prob as I'm proud to stand by my views and don't care who knows who I am. Bookmarking posts to dredge up proof of failure etc - amazes me the lengths people will go to get one up on an enemy. Sorry, rambled a bit there.
