Simple guideline to avoid trolling,

If you fall into one of the categories:

- Start to grin evilly as you type
- Mutter "Ill show him/her"
- Use silly little aliases for products ( e.g. DEad ) in your post
- Start to bring off topic stuff into a topic just to score points

You are in all probability about to troll.
Hate figure. :lol:

No. He would take me aside and tell me I was being a prick and expect me to retract my statement publically and thereby come off the better man.
Hate figure. :lol:

In todays world government councils need to put up signs on cliffs saying "dont jump off, it will hurt".

The tendancy is to troll then claim you didn't know the rules. The rules being accessible and unverisally understood means that if you pariticpate on the forum you accept the rules.

Weasel clause no longer applies then.
Hate figure. :lol:
