salyavin, ok, we have different definitions of troll. And we have different preferences wrt FFL posts. I often enjoy your posts and I often enjoy Richard's posts. And I think we all are responsible for what happens here.

And those were expressions of your opinion, not reality. I've expressed my opinions about Richard before. I recognize that he posts a lot and repeats a lot. BUT, I don't find the tone of his posts malicious. imo that's the essence of trollness. You are funny. He doesn't engage, he has no opinion that he wants to talk about, he comes here just to piss people off, what else do you need to know? It's called trolling. Annoying people for your own amusement. If it makes him happy I'm happy to ignore him. What I did do yesterday was point out how much he stands out now that the others have gone. I shall go back to ignoring him and he'll either leave or die of boredom by the end of the week. Actually, I don't suppose he will, he wants to piss in the well until no one else wants to visit this place. Some sort of childish last-man-standing sort of thing. Good luck to him if that's how he wants to waste his life. He should join Jim's group and see if he can rediscover his personality before it's too late. But actually conversing requires thinking and that takes effort. I doubt he'll bother.

He used to sound pretty even tempered and reasonable. Now he's saying vile stuff to you. And using the c word! Jeez... What is it that obscures your view of reality Share? Even if you randomly read only 1% of Willy's posts you'll know he is a pointless troll whose only "purpose" here is to annoy people. How mature do you think that is? This why he hasn't gone to play on Jim's site, because he's got nothing to say that isn't deliberately aggravating to someone, so who would want him? Unless Jim is playing a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" game, he isn't going to want 300 dumb and predictable posts littering the place up every week. So we're stuck with him until someone starts a "say nothing as many times as you like" site. 10 years he's been doing it. At least! The longer he stays as the only troll here the stupider he is going to look, so he's welcome to waste his life nagging at me, it bothers me not one jot. From: "'Richard J. Williams' punditster@...

Apparently MMY dropped usingthis technique himself for somereason, but I found it quiteenjoyable. People usually think thoughts justbefore going to sleep but quite oftenthey are just random thinking withoutany direction. Until I was taught the "NightTechnique" by Satyanand, I usedanother technique that I developedmyself - you simply think of somethingpositive to look forward to the nextday and then slip into sleep. It works too, but not as well. Thereis something about the directed soundvibration than is a subtle relaxingfeeling with the bija mantra - LayaYoga while you sleep. > From: "'Richard J.
