How many folks on the front page do you think finish their day/go to bed satisfied when they have the 'last word' in an argument because you simply decided to not have any further conversation with, to quote James May, an "utter pillock"

Many

I try not to engage in childish debates. But there was this one time I couldn't resist. Part of me is not proud that I even bothered with this fool...and another part of me looks at this every few months and smiles.

The front page? Oh, I only read it for the articles.

The R18 ends any "psshhh, diesel?" convo (unfortunately, concise and cogent arguments don't always suffice).

Better question: Who cares?

I do sometimes post stuff to incite people. But I am going to make a post on Oppo soon explaining why some of the attitudes displayed on the FP are toxic to the enthusiast community as a whole. The blind faith people have towards certain dogmas annoys me to no end.

I take it you are speaking from personal/proffesional experience. :)

Just so you know, you are now responsible for a lot of notifications on a many month old thread. EVERYBODY GETS A BLUE STAR!

Most of the time, i just read the article and don't bother reading the conversations for most articles. Makes my brain hurt sometimes

The funny thing is I had to abandon the just "Automatch" screen name because work one day decided to block my Twitter log-in. So I had to make a new one.

So, are those notifications just floating around in space?

Every so often I'll log in at home to that account just to see what's up.

I can't stand dickhead trolls like that. At least have some decency and don't respond instead of responding with "Well, your an idiot."

You're missing out. If you're unable to participate there without attracting and/or engaging trolls, you're doing it wrong.

I manage to have plenty of civil discussions/conversations there. Of-course I see and get plenty troll responses of troll-ish responses as well but it's easy to dismiss and ignore those.

Can I? Yes. Is it worth my time? Not really. I do comment there, just not often. I think I'm grey out there anyway.

Well when that's then only move he had left and must save face on the internet...

If you only engage in conversations that are worthwhile it makes it a lot more enjoyable.

It's not difficult to get un-greyed. Get to a couple of posts early enough, post something that engages some conversation and one of the Jalop editors will notice and follow you.

Grovelling here has worked sometimes too but I think that's kind of lame to do.

I am more than capable of engaging in worthwhile conversation (and I think I do), I just spend more time on Oppo.

Wow. I remember that one. That was one of the best take-downs of a troll I've ever seen on the FP.

Fair enough.

I just find the bitching about front page trolls silly sometimes because often it's the fault of the person doing the complaining for engaging such people in the first place. It's the internet, trolls are to be expected, it's your job and your job alone to avoid them.

Also, FACK, I clicked my notification icon. I was over 500 >:(

Yep. great little go-karts. Great weekender cars. Good luck if it is your only reliable automobile.

To be fair, the "I only read it for the articles" comment was a joke (explained here ). I do enjoy the FP and many of the conversations there.

Sorry, but as you well know I form my own opinions instead of following the exaggerations of others.
