Surely then, in accordance with your own prouncements, responding to "boring" or "tedious" posters is an option for all RHP members, yes?
If Kewpie wants to suggest that posters like you - and many of your threads - are "boring" and "tedious", isn't this participation by her perfectly fine and a correct exercise of here "privilege" as a member, and don't you w ...[text shortened]... - the participation of those posters who are unimpressed by you and who hanker for something better?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyEven if you personally think you should continue with one of your "boring" and "tedious" threads or sequence of unoriginal copy pasted posts, don't you welcome Kewpie's participation? I've made the suggestion before, Grampy Bobby, if you don't like people disapproving of your forum persona or finding you unimpressive, rather than posting ad nauseam about "trolls", or declaring people "cowards", or using sneering metaphors such as 'uncomfortable in their skin' or 'fouled diapers', or questioning their ability to raise children, or urging them not to post in ways you do not like or approve of, etc. etc. etc., you should consider starting a blog.

100+ Internet Troll Types & Troll Resources
Internet Troll Typologies (List Updated & Re-Published Regularly)
“I didn’t read what you said but here’s what I think” Troll. “He doesn’t read your piece. He doesn’t need to: he knows what he thinks already and what he knows is, he hates everything you stand for and you’re wrong and he’s g ...[text shortened]... contextual level.(Criminal Justice Degree Guide)" (to be continued) https://www.ipredator.co/troll/
Bar Friend: “How many times have you met someone who is a friend of a friend at a bar or party, only to come home and see a Facebook friend request sitting in your in-box? You probably don’t remember their name, and the conversation you had with them was superficial at best. It’s obvious they just want to add you to their growing list of friends and you honestly believe you’ll never see them again.” Don Reisinger, CNET (2008)
Big Man: “Driven by ‘Order’ forces. A Big Man does trolling by posting something pleasing to others to support their world view.” (Crocels Trolling Academy)
Bitter Troll: “Bitter Trolls are a curious cross-species. They can be trolls of any breed in their larval stages, but become Bitters after their earlier activities are seen for what they were. What sets these trolls apart from other classifications is their behavior after they have been spotted and labeled as trolls. Angry, frustrated, and resentful about being “outed,” the Bitter Troll will wage a campaign of indignant complaints intended to focus attention away from the troll and on whomever is responsible for identifying the creature.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)
Bustr: “Bustrs are obsessive Bitters by whom you could practically set your watch. A Bustr never forgets, never forgives, and holds a grudge until the day it dies. Also a variant of Agenda trolls, Bustrs typically move from forum to forum complaining about the objects of their ire, often cutting and pasting age-old diatribes that have little meaning to most of their audiences. Most Busters are relatively incoherent, though a few of the more lucid ones are potentially dangerous stalkers.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)
Mutt: “Alternatively known as Dogs or Yapping Dogs. Mutts are pack animals characterized by their loud barking – vociferous, repetitive, usually ignorant and irrational criticism of anything and anyone they do not like. Mutts often become obsessed with a few or even a single poster with whom they disagree, often for purely personal reasons. Like a dog gnawing at a bone, the Mutt will attack the object of its ire over and over, making a fool of itself in the eyes of those who understand such childish behavior for what it is.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)
Holy Misroller (HM): “Holy Misrollers are those online forum participants who give Christians (or other religious adherents) a bad name. The HM believes himself or herself to be a Christian (etc.) and will generally tell anyone who’ll listen about his or her faith in God and in Jesus. At the same time, however, the HM will display decidedly un-Christian behavior, often making an *** out of him/herself. The HM is often characterized by a great deal of anger and hostility.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)" (to be continued) https://www.ipredator.co/troll/

What a forum isn't for is dishing up a previous post, unadorned, just to get another post in a thread, and in the process making the thread incoherent.
I'd appreciate it if my posts aren't regurgitated ad nauseam, because I don't want or need the opprobrium which you earn for yourself by repeating stuff that isn't even your own.

Marketing Genius: “A Marketing Genius is absolutely convinced that you are profiting from your participation in an Internet forum. If you have a link or a graphic block in you signature, the Marketing Genius just knows that this is your subtle attempt to assert your hypnotic powers on other bulletin board participants, luring them with the siren song of your complex and inscrutable advertising of your site.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)
Boomerang: “Different name but posts sound familiar? This troll sets up new accounts to keep posting when blocked.” Emily Turner, (2013)
Bored Hater: “This guy loves to make problems, usually out of sheer boredom. His posts are vile and hideous for no other reason than riling up total strangers. His arsenal includes racism, sexism, homophobia and religious intolerance.” Tamar Love Grande (2010)
Cannibal Trolls: “A troll that spends it’s time troll baiting other trolls. Wasting the time of those most intent of wasting the time of others. For instance a Cannibal Troll could post something like this (“Hi. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a background that would essentially turn my computer monitor into a mirror? Scanning a mirror doesn’t work” ) He would do this purposely to attract trolls and feed of there negative comments. For every troll that pays attention to a Cannibal Troll another innocent bystander go’s unmolested.” (Urban Dictionary)
Chatroom Bob: “Driven by ‘Existential’ forces. A chatroom bob takes part in trolling to gain the trust of others members in order to exploit them.” (Crocels Trolling Academy) [Note: lol]
Comment Trolls: “We’ve all met the Internet Comment Troll. The delightful little creature who somehow always shows up in the comments section of blogs, websites, and social media services to show off his superior intellect and set the world straight. The Internet Comment Troll is an expert in all matters and always takes pains to spread his wisdom. He particularly loves to dwell in tech-related realms, where he enlightens reviewers and enhances their work with his insights. Were it not for the Internet Comment Troll, online comment sections might actually be a place for meaningful.” JR Raphael, (2014)
Concern Troll: “A person who posts on a blog thread, in the guise of “concern,” to disrupt dialogue or undermine morale by pointing out that posters and/or the site may be getting themselves in trouble, usually with an authority or power. They point out problems that don’t really exist. The intent is to derail, stifle, control, the dialogue. It is viewed as insincere and condescending. The VineYard, (2007)
Connoisseur Troll: “The Connoisseur Troll is so full of himself that his head is lodged up his ass. A movie critic whose only credential is that he watched Citizen Kane once, a friend who considers himself a wine aficionado for being able to discern the difference between a Franzia Cabernet and a Mike’s Hard Lemonade and the guy who takes it upon himself to note when you mistakenly use “good” instead of “well” in a sentence are all examples of the Connoisseur. The troll will use his supposed “area of expertise” as a weapon to disagree with anyone’s opinion.” Josh Gross (2013)
Contrarian Troll: “A sophisticated breed, Contrarian Trolls frequent boards whose main opinions are contrary to their own. A forum dominated by those who support firearms and knife rights, such as, will invariably be visited by Contrarian Trolls espousing their beliefs in the benefits of gun control.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)" (to be continued) https://www.ipredator.co/troll/

Originally posted by Captain StrangeI consider myself saluted. Thanks. And yet this dreary assortment of pompous windbags that I seem to rub up the wrong way have nothing to fear from me when Russ makes me a moderator because most of their tedious unoriginal repetitive twaddle is not against the TOS. 😀
You truly are the scourge of windbags.
