True. Was talking to Aron last night and wondered the same thing thing.
Not John's usual style. He's usually got something to say about "F'ing"
video games and always something about busted flippers. And he NEVER
made a coherent post as he has in a few of his replies yesterday. Gotta
be someone else. Still, a troll by any other name ya know :)

And I was just thinking about coming back to this group on a daily basis.
Now I'll go back to just using it in lurk mode for tech support instead of
contributing.

Shame. This is the #1 reason why the RGP has to get off the antiquated
usenet format and go to a web based forum.

Then? He wins, Doug. This is so prevalent in todays society. Rather than
fight for their neighborhoods people tend to close their doors and let
the thugs take over. I do understand in any society there are those who
believe the best policy is to hide their head in the sand. Too bad. I
won't. But not to worry. There are still those of us who will do the
fighting.

Exactly. It's not hard to fight these guys. Add them to your killfile.
If they change their user name and you read another moronic post just
add them to your killfile again. Ad Nauseum. The reason they troll is
to provoke a reaction. They provoke, people respond, they win.

When people stop responding they will get bored and go away.

You better pray to everything that you deem holy that I never see you in
person. Mike Kerns was a personal friend of mine and I will defend him to
the end. He was a true family guy and an asset to the pinball community. I
don't know who you are but should I EVER meet you, you'd best keep away!!!

Think about that for a while.

I never met Mike Kerns and I don't know anything about him but my God,
show some respect for the dead. What you're doing is the same as
running a race in the Special Olympics, even if you win, you're still
retarded. Bad example, I know, but it fits.

Sorry I logged on today.

Reckless and hideously disrespectful are the comments by the #2 author,
whomever he might be.

Utterly despicable. What kind of human refuse would even think such a
thing, let alone post it?

There had been other times I wished I had not logged on but this one
takes the cake!

ObPinball: Gonna play some tonight. I'll plunge a ball in Mike's memory,
even though I never met the guy.

My son has Down Syndrome. I'm nearly as offended by your example as the
original comment that you're upset with.
