Really, why don't you resign and let somebody else be moderator for a while? I vote for GumbyCT.

Oh, I know. Where is "nobody"? Maybe "nobody" should be the moderator. Or "who"?

Hi "Jayjonbeach"

Here is one of the unwritten rules of this Forum.

Trolls are allowed to say anything they want.

You have to put up with it.

If you complain, you will be condemned as a Troll yourself.

There is nothing you can do about this.

I see you are now getting yourself entangled, and unless you just want the practice in dealing with Trolls like Really I suggest you walk away, and let it go.

"The most likely derivation of the word troll can be found in the phrase "trolling for newbies", popularized in the early 1990s in the Usenet group, alt.folklore.urban (AFU). Commonly, what is meant is a relatively gentle inside joke by veteran users, presenting questions or topics that had been so overdone that only a new user would respond to them earnestly. . . . These types of trolls served as a practice to identify group insiders. This definition of trolling, considerably narrower than the modern understanding of the term, was considered a positive contribution. One of the most notorious AFU trollers, Snopes, went on to create his eponymous urban folklore website. By the late 1990s, alt.folklore.urban had such heavy traffic and participation that trolling of this sort was frowned upon. Others expanded the term to include the practice of playing a seriously misinformed or deluded user, even in newsgroups where one was not a regular; these were often attempts at humor rather than provocation."

Thanks but no thanks!

Hey if that is what most people want, then that is how it should be, no arguement there.

Now if they just had a "delete thread" button, we could save this now useless discussion from getting in the way of more important topics (note that if there was a general discussion forum, that wouldn't happen! Sorry, just sayin... )

Then I ACCEPT!

Thank you, everyone.

There are gonna be a few BIG changes around here. "Really" is now banned. And "Banned" is now "Unbanned."

All references to other apnea forums are now verboten. As are all foreign words.

The biggest change will be that henceforth all questions about the institution of categories will automatically be moved from this forum to the appropriate category at apneasupport.

Thank you for your attention, everyone.
