I think that is a yooper, not an uppie. :-)



Yoopers are from upper Michigan, trolls from lower Michigan.

Correct. That is why I was correcting uppie to yooper.

Interesting read... Of course, it just confirms my opinion that trolls
should be shot on sight...

Agreed. Boyer's newletter is really appalling, annoying, and intended
just to irritate.

By their definition:

"""
In Internet terminology, a troll is often someone who comes into an
established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts
inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed
intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the
flow of discussion, including the personal attack of calling others
trolls. Often, trolls assume multiple aliases, or sock puppets.
"""

So how exactly does Mxsmaniac fit that description?

Go back and read all the posts... You'll probably understand at that
point... If not, then read again, but this time try reading for
comprehension... At one time, I thought that perhaps he might just be
completely clueless, but the more he posts, the more I'm certain that
he's just a ****in' troll... Different than many of the trolls, but a
troll none the less...
