Once upon a time, majestic, if slightly flea infested, herds of trolls wandered freely over the plains of cyberspace. The ethernet would literally shake from thunderous noise of their bleating inanities and pounding keyboards in unthinking lockstep. They kept their own numbers in check by culling any member of the herd who showed signs of intelligence or self-reliance. They lived in perfect harmony with the members of the elite-media tribes that cared for them. Natures balance was preserved until the coming of the moderator man and his modern assault weapon, the ZOT.

Soon trolls were being wantonly slaughtered in huge numbers. Their posts, with only the juiciest idiocies removed for use in men’s and ladies tag lines, were left lying to rot in the sun. Despite their dwindling numbers the slaughter continues to this day. We at SAVE THE TROLLS demand that this unmerciful killing stop! We are working with pro-troll legislators to add trolls to the Endangered Species List. We are also trying to get ZOT-control legislation passed.

You can help! Call 1-800-PRO-TROLL or 1-800-BAN-ZOTS today and find out how!

At least nobody has suggested this genuine troll commit suicide... something that was aimed at me when I was a far-too-new-Freeper-and-commenter... and was banned, while the suicide comment still stood.
Less than 18 months after that thread, on which I was quickly dispensed with, my husband (a FReeper since 2000) actually DID commit suicide. Explains why during his obit thread (which I got a friend in CA to start - bless her heart), JR and the team decided to let me back in.
I'm conservative, and would rather see Bush back than Kerry, but I'm Australian (now... I was living in the US and preparing to marry an American when I first signed up at FR.) As a conservative (albeit out of work) journalist, I lurked on FR even when I couldn't post here.
RIP Chris - and Americans, please re-elect Bush, if not just for the Gipper but for TrappedInLiberalHell...
