Re: Don\'t feed the trolls, people.
Andres has created alot of great work, and brought alot to the community. every so often, one of the forum members brings up a political topic. usually, it is discussed with far more civility than you will find elsewhere on the internet.
it took some effort for some of us to drag this inflamitory anti-troll thread around to a discussion about green-creatures. please dont drag us into politics.

Re: Don\'t feed the trolls, people.
I think trolls can be regular posters on a forum...but given the nature of most forum admins, trolls are usually Banned before becoming a regular 
But if we must have name one, i'd vote for Puke to be the friendly neighbourhood troll.

Re: Don\'t feed the trolls, people.
Resident Troll is only an oxymoron when talking about civil forums. Some forums are littered with resident trolls, especially those forums that hate newbies.

Re: Don\'t feed the trolls, people.
I witnessed and even posted in the Last Iraqi War debate. It became obvious to me that whatever your feelings on the matter; nothing that was said would change the minds of anyone who had an opinion on the matter.
I would like to say that I have no problems with Andrés Lescano. It is just I am just getting a little frustrated with these political flame fests no matter how civil.
(Now that I think about it.. It was the title that goaded me into posting my frustrations in this topic. I guess I am just sick of it. )
Anyway back to space conquest

I don't think it's legal for you to second a nomination for yourself! So I'll second it for you if you like!
