| There is no point. He/she/it can't decide if it's trans/bi/homo/sexual, if she/he/it comes from Australia or Iraq. Been banned once and I assume the next banning will come soon. Don't be lured in to responding to its garbage. |

I agree. I am not sure why the moderators have tolerated him/her/it this long already.
This must be their 8th or 9th reincarnation by now.  |

Trolls are like roaches, you can stomp on them but cant get rid of them completely. |

But a roach has a purpose in life, whereas a troll does not. I'm still baffled by what troll-ish posters get out of what they do. Do they imagine someone else somewhere thinking they are funny? Or is it that they are just angry at the world for being not-very-well-endowed? |

What trolls thrive on and need is ATTENTION. People taking notice of them. If you answer a trolls post he (or she) knows they have your attention and they enjoy watching people get flustered, morally indignant and angry. Ignore them and they only have themselves to talk to.

A cockroach's purpose is to remind us that evolution has a sense of humour. Is success measured in dominance (humans) or longevity (cokroaches)? Roaches, like rats, are some sort of flipping annoying companion species that will probably follow us into space one day. Granted we make it there...
And back on he topic of BATGIRL, I unfortunately got caught in its little web of trying to get a rise out of people. Your warnings are duely noted. |

| Roaches exist to remind man that man may think he is the ruler of the earth, but it's a losing battle in a house full of roaches. |

| I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Why is this someone being referred to as a roach? I think I missed something. |

I went to the website that PaulH suggested and it was very interesting. Even more interesting was a link that was on the site that was about "Antiprocess" or if I may paraphrase, "Why some arguments go nowhere" I plan on using the information when I talk to my mother. |
