shameless shill...

for personal reasons, i think you all should consider the following to be the most balanced thread of the year...
and what might i mean by 'balance' you ask...
that fine line between couth and crass, delightful and demented, gleeful but not gay, deliciousness and disgust,
that,
would be balance...

for yer perusal,
Thread 161707

Thread 161707

Yeah, it was a good thread. Not great, but to the point, not rude, and didn't get bumped. Certainly worth an honorable mention.

Now, about BustyBeaver and this site being appropriate for 13 yr olds ... If this thread hadn't publicized Busty's on-again-off-again, it wouldn't have come to the attention of anyone but Busty's private fan club. It would have remained buried in the 14,000 or so pages of players here and the chances of a 13 yr old blundering into one of her off-again phases would have been very slim. Self-un-fulfilling prophecy...

"In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
--Wiki

Sometimes also used of a person who assumes an online persona, not the real-life personality, often in order to take up a preposterous or politically incorrect position with impunity.

The question which I posed remains unanswered, what constitutes a "best troll"? Is it a person consummately skilled at upsetting other people and thoroughly obnoxious? Or is it a basically nice person who merely jovially teases others? Or is it something like "best Bond villain"?--i.e., the one you can't help but like (e.g., Jaws, Oddjob, etc.).

Anyone who would nominate himself for "best troll" is by definition tendentious.

In a strange way I have become rather fond of badger.

As Oscar Wilde said, 'tis worse to be boring than wrong. And as someone else said, just because something is true does not make it right. Redbadger splits the middle. Which, of course, is not to say that he occupies the middle ground. Anyway, the nominations are open.
