Okay, new to this thread...just droping in and adding my 2 cents...

It's disappointing how many people get online and lack basic netiquette. There should be a course you have to take when you first get online that teaches you how to act in a proper manner. Of course if this happened then there'd only be a few thousand people online.

I agree with the whole test thing. If you can't be civil, I don't see why you should be allowed in message boards and such. I try to be as polite and civil as possible when responding, it's very easy.

That's all.

Sadly, I suspect it's as much a social thing as a net thing, although the freedom of anonymity gives mendacious morons far more encouragement than they deserve.

Regarding Dark Angel, we followed it with curiosity and enjoyment, but I thought the end of the second season took it as far as it needed to go anyway. There didn't seem to be enough mystery left after that point to sustain it in a non "action-repetitive" way. But maybe that's just 'cause we were among the 'casuals'!

Well, since there's a right to privacy, you can't get rid of anonymus posts. And I didn't know I was signed in, so I've done a few anonymus posts. Gorram.

Agreed. The worst thing you can do is feed a troll. Of course, having fun at the troll's expense is something else entirely, but that's mostly a USENET thing.

If the board is moderated and they can't act like idiots, too bad.

Check the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, dear buddy, unless Trolls provocate a PHYSICAL, fight, or INTENTIONALLY, start a verbal fight, then they can say what ever they want. And most of the time, YOU CONFORMISTS, stasrt everything, telling us we should do things this way, and that, it's wrong and it just what the ALLIANCE would do, LIMITING OUR FREEDOMS.

Jameron, you're an idiot, plain and simple. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say anything about your "free speech" rights on the internet, in a privately-owned and -funded website.

The Constitution says that THE GOVERNMENT can't make laws abridging your free speech. It doesn't say diddly about Haken enforcing his own rules on his own website. You and all the other little kiddies out there whining about your "rights" being infringed don't know what the hell you're talking about.

You agreed to certain terms when you joined this site. YOU agreed to them. YOU agreed to abide by the rules here, lax as they are, and now that has proven to be too much for you. You can post your garbage if you want, but don't whinge about it when it gets tossed in the dustbin of Troll Country.

And if you really feel the need to blather on for hours about Rihanna, maybe you should find a website devoted to her. I'm sure they'd be glad to discuss all things her with you.
