Archully, I have no problem with upsetting people, and the narrower their minds the more likely it is that I will upset them. But I don't find it funny. I hold the forlorn hope that they will wonder why they were upset, and whether it really matters...

Sounds like the motto of a troll

And that is the behaviour of a troll, according to the ridiculously wide definition proposed by the geeks. The fact that geeks can't cope with a bit of ribbing without bursting into tears doesn't make everyone a troll.

Trolls are anonymous, not registered users. If you don't wish to read what I write you can set up your profile to ignore my posts. If I was a troll you wouldn't be able to do that, since I'd just keep registering a different user name to annoy you.

So waht you are saying is that you are a visible troll

No. If I set out to annoy you for the sole purpose of my own amusement, much like your friends with the air horn do with the golfers, then I would be a troll.

On the other hand, if the definition of a troll is a matter of opinion, you are entitled to your own. Some might have the opinion that hounding me with accusations of being a troll during a thread which has nothing to do with trolls, might be construed as trollish behaviour. Normally I would simply fight fire with fire with registered users, since they are obviously not trolls in my definition, but it seems we all want to hide behind accusations of trollduggery as defined by what pleases us at the moment.

but does it really matter?

Burb, do you upset yourself very often? I just wondered, you see, as you tend to go after people who are narrow minded......

Anyhow, the movie, not at all interested in it. From the trailers it seems to be a very ludicrous almost slapstick type of comedy attempt. And I just don't like that!

Well I thought it was a very funny pisstake movie so there. [smilie=w00t.gif] It was always going to be an over the top silly movie with Adam Sandler in it, if you went in as I did expecting nothing then you can only go up cant you!

My favorite thing he's done.
A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.
