It's novel....but a 10.

Better than a 10. It got *zotted*! :-)

I just wanted to sign up and start a thread to tell you I have nothing to say.

[anniegetyourgun]

Sigh...these trolls are so lame.

Holy crap!

[b4its2late]

You are an idiot.

[Allosaurs_r_us]

This was absolutely pathetic. What a maroon, what a nincompoop. Living proof that brain enemas need a lot more research before subject is let out of the cess pool and back into society.

[newgeezer]

my former name was Petsounds. Does that ring a bell with any of you?

I'm generally good with names but, that one doesn't register. So, let's take a look at the posting history of petsounds...

No wonder no one remembers the name. {yawn}

[Grampa Dave]

So many diseased maggot trolls and so little time.

Just take a number after you are zotted for your upcoming butt kicking!

[MeekOneGOP]

Bye, MartialArtsUSA.

He's dead, Jim!

Your parting gifts will be held in storage until your next attempt.....make sure you stop by and claim them before registering again.

"how about this: my former name was Petsounds. Does that ring a bell with any of you?"

You mean the singularly unimpressive and boring troll that wasn't even worth banning but finally got the zot because they induced narcolepsy in the mod who then fell onto the zot button while asleep?

No, doesn't ring any bells.

An Internet troll is a person who sends duplicitous messages to get angry responses. The term derives from the phrase "trolling for suckers" and ultimately from trolling for fish. The term is frequently abused to slander opponents in heated debates and is frequently misapplied to those who are ignorant of etiquette.

Trolling is often described as an online version of the breaching experiment, where social boundaries and rules of etiquette are broken. Self-proclaimed trolls often style themselves as Devil's Advocates or gadflies or culture jammers, challenging the dominant discourse and assumptions of the forum they are trolling in an attempt to subvert and introduce different ways of thinking. Detractors who value etiquette claim that true Devil's Advocates generally identify themselves as such for the sake of etiquette, whereas trolls often consider etiquette to be something worth trolling in order to fight groupthink.

Trolls are sometimes caricatured as socially inept. This is often due to the fundamental attribution error, as it is impossible to know the real traits of an individual solely from their online discourse. Indeed, since intentional trolls are alleged to knowingly flout social boundaries, it is difficult to typecast them as socially inept since they have arguably proven adept at their goal.

How DARE you sully Brian Wilson's work of genius by associating it with yourself! Begone, foul troll, to the hellspawn pits that begat you!

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

On the "Nice Try" scale, I give this...ohhhhh....about 1.7 out of 10.

Perhaps the troll was referring to pet sounds of a flatulent nature.
