DNFTT {Do Not Feed the Troll}
Dear Admin,
I apologise in advance for squandering everyone's dongle. I reckon that some vocal ISR Forum members are not in favour of the daily maximum 3-post policy. After being referred to as "The Sock", I thought I was way past the name-calling after KeyStage 3. Somehow rather, that Canadian TV show didn't catch my Mum's fancy.
In honour of SighGuy, might I share the following links {as againsts an A4 post} as I only have "narrowband" in my flat:

Yours Faithfully,
Skablictady

Interesting. Except I would question who the troll really is. As shocking as it may seem, I would venture that Psyguy really does believe most everything he writes, which would make him outrageous or annoying at times, but not a troll.
Here's another interesting link for you:

Sorry
I never insult people.
I never flame people.
I dont call people names.
I dont act or write in a foul matter.
I often and continuously encourage opinions, and discussions on topics, especially those that are contrary to my own. This forum needs more not fewer voices.
I dont need to be right and often comment that the global education community is big enough for a varied number of opinions. I've acknowledged i've been wrong before (most recently when I mistook a British school for having a PYP program).
I often try to steer discussions BACK to the original topic posted by the OP (The Black list post stopped being about a black list somewhere around page 6).
I dont try to offend people. There are a WIDE range of experiences some good, some bad, some ugly, some beautiful. Some people are "grinders" and have an axe to grind. Some people are cheerleaders, and seem to try to sell their idea with a verbal brochure about an issue. There is room for both I would hope.
I dont think I try to scare people, but ignoring safety concerns for a school or region would not be fair or diligent.
I have an opinion based on my experiences, its not always the politically correct one and sometimes people take offense to it, but im not going to sugar coat them or bend to peer pressure, insults, personal attacks, or any other type of ad hominem attack, to make them congruent with other posters experiences and opinions. I understand that some people cant make an argument without attacking the source, and Im ok with that.
Has it occurred to you that your own post and actions might be described as trolling? Why am i such an obsession to you? For what its worth I value your contributions to this forum, even this one, but if I bother you so much why not just do as your site sources recommend and ignore me, do you really need to high blood pressure? Seriously, I'm not worth it, your on a crusade against a screen name.
I dont want to portend i understand you in any way and if that insight was wrong, then im sorry and please accept my apologies.

I don't think I've ever had my dongle squandered before. I'm quite liking the sound of it, in an odd sort of way.
