One of the best remarks in this latest spate of troll-rassling. We would all do well to always bear it in mind.

Actually, Reminder should be credited with that statement.

Well, my post started with proper attribution to Reminder (look again); but with the quotes within quotes, I failed to delete a critical line. Anyhow, thanks for the reminder, Reminder.

Hmm, well except for the many on this board who don't work for him. I wonder what he plans to do about them?

TW--

I'd be willing for SFT to come be my boss if he'd just leave USM alone. He couldn't screw things up any worse where I work. (famous last words)

Well, be sure you let Drs. Thames, Moore, Malone, Grimes, Dvorak, and Mr. Lassen know. They all think they're academics too.

"Dr. Thames is a visionary."

Then why did the IHL fire his butt?

Date: Jun 12, 2005

You know, now that I think about it, I really DO envy his abilities. That concentrated, blind inability to see the handwriting on the wall, that total inablility to take any responsibility for ones own mistakes, that sheer damn stubborn pit bull teeth in the ankle stupidity, those are qualities not everybody has. He's actually probably a lot happier than I am. For now.

Shelby got his butt fired!

Here and elsewhere, someone just keeps demonstrating that they know how to operate the repeat function, creating blocks of text which the rest of those who come to the board can now scroll past in their search for something substantive. The blocks are of course not arguments, though they do betray a misunderstanding of how human beings communicate.

But wait-- Are these great blocks merely attempts to pray to Malouk, the deaf god of the trolls? If so, recall the words from the Sermon on the Mount: "But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7).

I don't consider the present posting to be "feeding the trolls," as the trolls seem to have given up on reading altogether. But I will remind the rest of us that SFT is an overseer but not a boss. The IHL must hire and fire. That fact doesn't change no matter how often a misunderstanding is repeated. And two years can change quickly under the right circumstances.

I am not a god - I am THE King of Trolls and Commander of the Troll Army - got it?

So, Malouk, what is YOUR legacy? What achievement will you point to, when it's all over?

The name Trolls sounds like the brand of a chewing tobacco, snuff, or cigarette. Try Trolls. I'd walk a mile for a Troll. The name Malouk sounds like the name of a horse. I mounted old Malouk and we rode to town. Or maybe a town in North Dakota. It's cold up here in Malouk, even in July.

Some of us simply exist simply for the discourse. Me, I desire the open sea splashed with the blood of the 5-year war. A classic battle between the gleaming army of the academy against the evil horde of bubba-ville.

And my troll mama gave me my name. I'm named after the King of the 3rd age of crystal, Malouk the Great. I'm sorta holding out for Malouk the Avenger.
