Headphones and foot-tapping
I hardly ever see someone using a headphone nowadays withough being completely ignorant of the annoyance they are causing others.

And foot-tapping, especially in exam rooms!

In order for a post to be qualified as a 'troll', it must have been created with the intent to insight flaming.

The only incitement that has spawned seems to be coming from you Mike...

hmm, well I guess it worked afterall. But then, I suppose under the afore mentioned stipulations, your reply qualifies too. (As well as mine).

It may not be a troll, but it's pointless. Let people do what they like. If they irritate you, tell them, not us!

Gee... So would you rather put up with somebody with a large boom box blasting away so even more people can be annoyed...

Just another typical Boddy whine... He can never see the big picture

In computer rooms.

And the foot tapping wouldn't be so bad if they weren't completely oblivious to the squeak, squeak, squeak!

Oh, and what about people, having already sat somewhere for twenty minutes are still breathing like they just won a marathon.

Ming - will you do something about the hordes of posters who post in a thread just to say "troll" or a score. That in itself is a troll and, worse, spam.

Why... if it looks like a troll... sounds like a troll... smells like a troll... it is a troll. Stop your whining... what do you expect when you start troll threads

How is this a troll thread?

Who is it meant to incite?

hell, it even quacks like a troll

What I'm more concerned about is the failure of your trolls to incite any anger in people. I mean, when you have a troll on your forums, you expect them to be able to deliver. Please, work on these and get them up to par before you come back.

If they are in any way different to Boddies kill them! He's the perfect specimen of humanity. We must all strive to be like him!
