You need something else to do besides coming up with cute littel stories with the /. icons.

Perhaps building a cross to burn in Shelby Thames yard?

From the looks of things around here, you sure do have alot of help.

Miles,

I can attest to the fact that Invictus is NOT a troll.  He/She is a valued member of this board.

 

Invictus,

For what its worth, that was cute, and for the life of me, I can't remember who used to do all of the graphics, but they would be proud.

Quite a few trolls have passed through the message board - but TheMan seems to be qualititively different - less sophisticated, totally uninformed, posts messages contianing irrelevant trivia. TheMan hopped from thread-to-thread the other night, posting inarticulate and cryptic messages. At least Seeker knew the issues and seemed to be informed about other matters. TheMan's postings are rather odd. Maybe TheMan is not a Troll. Maybe TheMan is no more than a Devil's Advocate pretending to be not very swift.

Patti, I think you might be referring to me  . I have been known to sprinkle emoticons throughout my posts . Invictus, you ,  on!

But is 'the man' a real red blooded American male?

Which is the very reason it occurred to him as a form of protest. 

C'mon guys, be kind; there are not so many arrows in that quiver, if you know what I mean.

BTW, although I almost always disagree with Seeker, I don't view him as a troll. As a rule, trolls are uniformly uninformed, prefering simple ad hominem attacks on the faculty and other posters.  Seeker is if full of information and sometimes some of it is even correct. He seems to be an equal opportunity critic, calling both for the departure of Thames as well as certain faculty whom he purportedly once identified but now declines to mention by name.  Who knows, maybe with the exodus, they are all already gone.

I don't view Seeker as a troll, either. Seeker's a contrarian of the first order & as ram put it, "an equal opportunity critic," but shares the same overarching goal as most folks here.

This place wouldn't be the same without Seeker.

Just my , of course...

I think this is probably a valid analysis. Seeker, though, appears possibly to have some area in which he might actually have been academically successful. I don't think that's the case for TheMan.

I still haven't figured that axe-grinding thing out. I could talk all night about the great profs I had at USM (and some great admins, too, who helped me out). But quite honestly, I can't remember the names of very many of the bad profs I had. There weren't many & they made no lasting impression on me. But I guess other folks' mileages differ...
