Step Up

[self biased]

if you can't take the homoerotocism, get out of the kitchen.

[ZEE]

That's right Sloww, don't let them hold you back. Without guys to troll they have nothing, zero.

Oh okay AAHZ, I mean Warui.

you got something to say to me?

[SlowwHand]

Lancer was just confused about whose DL it might be. It ain't nothing.

[ZEE]

good, my patience wears thin with all this bull****.

[SlowwHand]

I saw it when he posted it and started to say something, but then blew it off.
I should have gone ahead and said something.

[Lancer]

OK, we will just say he doesn't have a job and gets his financial support from "others" rather then mention that it is his wife.

Either way he is still a bum without a job. John Wayne was right. "I have no use for a man who won't work."

My wife went home to work in the US by choice. She worked three months out of 12 last year and added to the income I have coming in before I get up in the morning. She's back here with me now, Oerdin, and has been for months. Yes though, you are right Oerdin, I am a bum, but I'm also saving money every month, or was, before I once again started work on my beach bum house.

Now, to those who dare speak up, I think we who dislike the trend here need to set a higher standard. If we go down into the dirt with these guys its going to be to difficult for those who are still here and don't like the trolls to tell us apart and choose sides. If we don't get help we're going nowhere even if we do get help, nothing is certain. Since the moderation is on the side of the trolls here, help of the normal sort will be going to the trolls, and against us. We should never ask the mods for anything and then we will not be frustrated by their lack of response.

This battle will be uphill all the way, likely take years, and isn't for the frail. We will be subjected to endless abuse and if we are to win out, even for the ability to post without being constantly trolled, we need to act like human beings.

My suggestion is to clean up our language. Anyway you guys do what you want but that's my plan. Also lets be patient. As Ming gleefully notes Apolyton will be like this for a very long time. So lets be patient. If we are patient that will limit frustration at lack of achieving anything in the face of being continuously mocked. Like Mao marching through the mountains, we just have to keep slogging while maintaining our standards and never give in to their fantasy or fight them on their own field.

All we can achieve now is what Sloww has been doing all along, staying on it and not giving in.

You might wonder why I'm doing this. So do I. Better if I'm going to be trolled it be here rather than there where the whole forum is disturbed.

We knew Asher back then too, of course.

I think this is harking back to a golden age that never actually existed.

Totally.

Day #2 at any forum "WTF? All these N00bs ruining the place. It's not as good as it was in the old days.

[Lancer]

you got something to say to me?

Yes now that you mention it. Do you recall our chats in past years about you overcoming your challenge? Any luck with that?

I know you'll treat me like crap but still AAHZ, if you need a kind word or a pep talk you know where to find it.

[Lancer]

Now please roll your wheelchairs over into the corner - it's time for a little nap.

Valid point. I've got some civvin to do first though.

Goodnight all.

I'm moar stable and in control of my life than i have ever been.

And im not your enemy here, Lancer, I'm a Poly Loyalist is all.

[Asher]

My wife went home to work in the US by choice.

I'm starting to see a trend. You marry a Filipina, she moves to the US?

How did she get the appropriate visas (or cards) for that?

[MOBIUS]

Quid pro quo.

[-Jrabbit]

Another waste of time. Why do I keep reading these threads??

[N35t0r]

The entertainment value.

That has to be a new record -- a resolution not to troll that lasted exactly zero posts.
