Post Hard

After about the 100th time they post your name in the threads, you kinda lose interest in filing a complaint. The mods have gotten quicker about pulling those posts but, they are still helpless in catching the culprits....

It's like the polls 'about' Ferrerman. There's been a few hundred. Accord to the mods it isn't one scumbag doing it. The mod checked and ten different ISP's were behind the first ten polls she looked at. You'd think it was one asshole with a proxy server but, according to her, at least ten people hate Ferrerman enough to dedicate their lives to following me around the threads. Well, she stopped counting at ten....

Ferrerman does not poll well among assholes!

Well, we knew that. To paraphrase Holly Gennero in DIE HARD, when she watches the terrorist throw a fit and she realizes John McClane is still alive: "Only Ferrerman can drive somebody that crazy!"

Only Ferrerman indeed. But, without bitter, terrorist trolls, Ferrerman is just a charming bottom-spanker who is liberal in politics as he is in wit. If you can't beat Ferrerman and you certainly can't join him, you can always troll him.

Most trolls are essentially low-grade, entry-level terrorists. They don't have the skill set to hack or make things go boom, so they follow and harass people on the internet. Trolls have absolutely no sense of irony. This means they can accuse you of 'cowardly' posting anonymously... while they post that to you anonymously(!) That's pretty much Topix in a nutshell- hypocrisy rules the day. Someone starts something with someone hoping to finish it, and they get really- REALLY- pissed when that person fights back. Think of Hitler, had he been caught, blaming Poland and France for WWII. Well, what were they wearing?

Posting well IS the best revenge but, sometimes ya gotta say: "yippie-ki-yay motherfuckers!"

It is possible to change ISPs or create multiple ISPs as that technique is used on P2P networks in order to defeat blocking a certain ISP number or numbers of spam on those networks by constantly changing them. I would guess that the troll poller does have that capability and might have had to do it in order to get around having ISPs blocked by Topix for violations.

Yes, Anonymous is right. Those proxy servers have hundreds of ISPs available.
You're relentlessly trolled because you are a smart and interesting contributor. AND you are sarcastic, so that really makes the trolls mad because they can't follow what you're saying.
You've got to love that, right?

I absolutely love the irony of being chastised by a GRAY BOX TROLL for any gray boxing I might do. It is like they are acknowledging that I'm better than they are and MUST be held to a higher standard at all times. I'm sure the highlight of many guys who played against Michael Jordan was 'holding him' to 30 points....
