troublemaker - n : someone who deliberately stirs up trouble

Yes, it takes two sides to have an argument, but your posting of replies
qualifies you as a troublemaker too, unless you're posting accidentaly of
course :-)

No, it doesn't. I'm not deliberately stirring up trouble. I'm responding
to the troublemakers. It's not at all the same thing. In fact it's not
even close. So spare me this tedious waste of energy. Expend it on the
ones who need it. When they stop imposing their selfishness and laziness on
the rest of us there will be nothing to respond to.

What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? Pedantic people who use a
public forum to gring their tiny little axes about etiquette.

As I tell the grade 1's that I teach: Turn away from and ignore people
who are trying to annoy you. Find something else INTERESTING to do that
will take your mind off it.

Oh, that and hedgehogs.

BTW - did you know eGH is totally useless in promoting muscle growth in
humans? Is it all just a plant and an attempted stitch up?

NOOOOO! Don't ignore the hedgehogs! I was just saying how they were the
most annoying thing on Usenet, snuffling around the edges of the screen,
eating stray URLs, messing up your Javascript and spreading it all over
the . . . hang on, that's just my animated screensaver, isn't it?

All the more reason not to turn away and ignore it if you see one. The poor
wee soul is obviously lost.

You are constantly whining about top posting, that = troublemaking.
