I would have to guess that the 'anything goes' theme will be no more. Maybe changed to 'Any intelligent discussion' that is 1)In good taste, 2)legal, 3)Not for the sake only trolling alone. Maybe also add 4)Political arguements are allowed until they get unreasonably heated, at which time they will be closed.

Here's a crazy suggestion:  Start flying the MorphOS banner.  I assume when you say trolls, you mean 'red trolls' so why not just stop dancing around it and do it?  The red trolls already have a home at AW (see avatar), and now the blue trolls will have a home as well.

Seems plausible enough to me...  


Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about, or you are just trying to still crap up for the sake of it. Wayne is talking about plain old fashioned trolling in 'Talk About', whiuch is not even displayed on the main page. Discusion in there, by it's very nature, has nothing to do with Amiga, MOS or anything else.

What YOU are doing right now is another type of trolling which Wayne was not even talking about.

Hey red, you really ought to be a moderator, you know that? :P


I offered to return and was politely turned down. No problem, I still would be concerned about there being a conflict of interest.

I don't recall turning you down in regards to moderation.  I remember the partnership issue however, perhaps we're mixing and matching those two things?


I wouldn't confuse that, definately different occasions. I'm not complaining, just a off hand reply:-)

hmm, so I better shut up about politicians goin' to whores, since many moderators come from countries where such is forbidden


No, no the moderators would only do so in extreme situations I'm sure. There has to be some level of moderation or anarchy will reign.
