You are not helping by calling people clowns etc.
No, it doesn't. It states it "like it is," and maybe someday Payton will get right on it and do something about posters, including the "clowns" that insist on derailing threads to satisfy their own petty agendas. "Astutegriz" joined this thread simply to troll. If the mods believed in their own rules, he'd be off.
Everett griz joins him whole-heartedly; two little kids who have been offended by something said somewhere else about something else. It's like dealing with spoiled brats, not adult posters.
And yes, like you, I am sick of it thread after thread, and there are five names that do it consistently and yes, it is called "trolling." If I comment on something, on any topic, Everett Griz feels compelled to post a snide remark or some "counterfactual" which generally turns out to be factually false -- his enthusiasm to disagree invariably ends up with mud on his face, and renewed anger for the next exchange.
Everett Griz has evolved into a first class troll, and there is no better evidence of it than this thread.
He claims he enjoys it. So, there you have it. When posters get to the point that they claim to enjoy petty, vindictive, spiteful, off-topic trolling -- there's your troll.
