Sorry, AZ. I can't help myself sometimes. I see a dumbass and I feel like Red Forman
Somewhere in 6 I counted up the number of posts for all of the main FaWTL threads.

I would agree with that too, however new main books really give it shot in the arm.

Yes, but when the new book comes out the trolls seem to frequent the site more.

You've also got a lot of contentious political issues in the news these days, especially with the 2012 race gearing up. That might account for more of the upswing.
Not to mention, I think there was a full moon recently....

There was one last night. But I mean really blatant troll stuff. For example one guy was complaining about PrCs.

Hmmm off topic has got very serious and un-fun, don't get me wrong I don't mind the occasional debate but just lately its been one festering pile of troll vomit after another....
I have been trying to think of ways to combat it.... I noticed some good conversations in the books and movies and music threads.
This leaves me wondering if the off topic conversations doesn't have common ground like the love of movies and books and stuff is this the cause of the off topic threads gravitating towards flammable topics...
be the change you wish to see. Bring up topics and create threads that will promote levity. There are at least 8 ways to combat the problem. Actively use at least 4.

I hate dubs with a burning passion. But I might be an anime snob. Also, while my japanese is not fluent, it is...passable...if the vocabulary isn't to specialized...so I don't have to read everything. :)

As a guy who has to depend a lot on lip reading, I loathe dubs with a passion. Nothing I despise more than to watch a foreign film and then someone plays over it with English. It's sacrilegious. I'll simply watch the subtitles and let them speak in their original tongue.
Same issue with the lip reading, but I actually don't mind dubs. But my hearing issue is different than yours, and unless I'm having a flare-up there's not actually anything wrong with my hearing. But for those times when I can't hear well subtitles are teh awesome, so I can sympathize.
I don't speak any Japanese so I can't really understand what's going on in anime without reading the subtitles. I can understand French and Russian well enough to get by without subtitles though. Too bad I'm not really into either French or Russian films. :)

I think I might go slam my head on the wall a few times. Some people cannot be argued with. They persist in being stupid no matter what you do.
offers Lynora her pick of several walls
We've got brick!
We've got cinderblock!
We've got wood (elm, oak, and pine)!
Step right up, pick your wall, and get to banging that head!
All the cool kids are doing it.

Why thank you, sir. I think I'll go with cinderblock. It'll make the pain stop faster. :)

Popping in with a ray of sunshine.
One of my sons got a traffic ticket for speeding (right in a zone where it just dropped 15 mph) and no proof of insurance. The officer said the proof he provided didn't look 'legitimate'. Fines, points, expected insurance hit, and court fees. Ugh.
Case was dismissed! The officer didn't have his copy of the violations, so the judge dismissed both. Lucky!
My son said he learned his lesson. I sure hope so.

Thanks for all the well-wishes. Having a ton of ideas for Ygg, but unfortunately I can't sit front of the computer for very long. :S
CH: Very sorry to hear it. :(
Two words: Drafting Table. We issue them so people can occasionally stand and work whilst recovering from less severe stuff. Countertops work too.
Good luck, DD!
