I've heard people refer to being 'trolled' on forums....
I was not certain I knew what that meant - so I had to look it up. I found variations on the meaning, but this is the one I've seen in action on two scooter forums by 3 members.
"TROLLING: Being a pr_ck on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on a by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can."
Some add this: "sometimes it is in the guise of being helpful or informative....but really it just a cynical remark."
In EVERY instance, the overwhelming constant is anger. "The troller is an angry person. And their anger fairly oozes out of them in every interaction."
I handle this by refusing to read any post from these 3 people.
Riding my scooter makes me happy. Riding to Tim Horton's for coffee and a donut at sunrise makes me fairly delirious!
This shot, sitting at the Tim Horton patio table, is a favorite!

I thought Tim Horton was only in Canada. I am sure their coffee is wonderful. I do love my Dunkin Doughnuts for breakfast and doughnuts of course.

No D.D. 'round these parts partner' or I'd never've crossed the border!
No, actually I have been a big fan of D.D. for 45 yrs.....in Mass. (I hit the one in Fla. every morning on vacation)
But there are none around here.....also, the Horton coffee is a wee bit stronger, which I like.
And they no longer scream and hit the floor when I come in ATGATT at 5:00 AM.
(It's too much hassle taking all that stuff off just to look presentable to a donut lady for 5 mins. at 0'dark:30)

Being a New Englander I love my DD too. However, when I lived in Columbus Ohio, we had Tim Hortons there. I wasn't a fan, however, they did have a pretty good soup with the bowl made out of bread.

Didn't Tim Hortons's buy out Best Eating Donuts ?

Burger King just bought Tim Hortons' so they can move Corporate Offices to Canada and avoid paying as much taxes as in U.S. . I will no longer visit either one .
Like my own coffee better anyway (and don't pay taxes on the coffee I make ;) ) .

Hello Zombie,
Good to hear from you again.
No.....Trollers love it when you give them any attention...that gives them their biggest buzz.
I discussed this topic with my 2 teens last evening. They knew exactly what trolling is....and gave me several good examples which helped me understand what it is and how prevalent it is on the internet.
I said, so it is best not to shine any light on them? My daughter said, "Well, you can try that - but most of them already live like mean little mushrooms."
I'm having a great Keurig Tim Horton's - and getting ready to change the oil on my scoot.
Good times!

It's good to hear from you too.
Now I can't tell if I am umber one on the list or not on it at all. Well played Mr. Brunson. (Doyle Brunson WPT Champ.).
I have been banned from my share of forums for speaking up to idiots, ass kissing moderators, and violating link policies (linking to better deals than the forum owner provides).
You all have seen this thousands of times... Someone signs up with a bad attitude, and... What you have to keep in mind is the same rules apply for us as trolls. You can choose to play into their hand or you can make the game Dealers Choice. Either way we are all at the same table.

Burger Kings effective tax rate currently is 25%, in Canada it will be 26.5%...it wasn't a tax dodge for 1.5%

This Kymco Forum is by far the least Troll infested place on all of the internet. Most sites, if you need to find trolls 80% of comments on Youtube are by trolls, are full of them. People here actually interact not just argue over semantics. Mostly good to ignore them, but every once and a while it is hard to resist feeding the trolls and having a good laugh when you can tell they are so mad their about to explode!!!!

Thanks for your service de dee,
My Dad was a navigator in bombers & stayed on with the occupation forces in Germany after the war. My mom joined him from the States, and my brother and I were born in US Army hospitals in Germany.
Much later I rode standing up on my Dad's Cushman scooter --- he kept it on the plane for when they went TDY around N. America, Puerto Rico, Greenland, Iceland, the U.K., etc..
My wife & I joined the squadron's reunion dinner held at the U.S. AirForce Museum years ago....To hear those guys sharing their flying adventures was an amazing experience for me (Dad never talked about the war).... scary and funny as only a bunch of old servicemen can talk.
One example :Dark night over the channel - the new navigator steered them so poorly the moon passed down each side of the plane on the flight headed for Holland. They just let him go til he got it sorted out. Then dropped their load on some flounders and RTB'd due to fuel issues.

Back to burgers, whoppers are the best chain burger out there. World wide chain ok.
-
If I am following this correctly, we went from trolls to donuts to burger king, then back to trolls.
I vote for donuts.
I believe that if trolls ate more donuts, they would be happier.

For the chain burgers it all depends. In my opinion the best national chain burger is Wendy's. Here in the west via Vegas, one could argue that In N Out Burger has the best burgers. Those who are from the mid-west and New York metro area, the argument could be made for White Castle. I grew up in New York City and I will take White Castle anytime over In N Out. I do not like Carl's JR. since those burgers are nasty. Let the burger wars begin. 8)

I think what we're doing is thinking of things that can defeat the meanness of trolls....(who live in damp & dark sad little places with only their PCs and a 1/3 cup of watery coffee)
Therefore, the NFL and apple pie are appropriate add ons here.... :-) :-)

I'll go w/ the Whopper as well.
Kudos to you too Dee Dee. It's a whole new world now. Too bad it's the people in charge that need to be "adjusted" but it's the people they "look after" that pay the price.
Pssss... It's always fun dropping a load on flounder. ;D
-
They say I am a "Troll" for having been born in Michigans' Lower Peninsula ( you know....under the Bridge/Mighty Mac ) , but- then , I moved to the Upper Peninsula (Yooper/U.P.-er Country ) .... So I became a Trooper (no longer a Troll, yet, not totally a Yooper ) .
Does any of this apply ??? 8)

I'm just a fat ugly bald guy that enjoys hanging out under bridges.
-
White Castle??? Oh, you mean diarrhea burgers.
That would be MURDER burgers!
And for the best chain burger find a place called "Flamers" mostly in Fl and are damned good, made to order fresh.
Also look up a place called Chee-burger, Chee-burger said like the Saturdayt night live skit. great burgers and shakes.

Out in California In-N-Out burgers is king. Lines both from walk in and drives through equal more traffic then all the combined other fast-food burger places in a given city. We don't have Horton's out here just Starbucks or Peet's on every corner. We do have DD, but if your tired of the same old donuts we have Psycho Donuts. The place and the donuts are well,,, psycho. Checkout their website. http://psycho-donuts.com/aboutus.html (http://psycho-donuts.com/aboutus.html) Their donuts are really good.

As for trolling, I tend to do that from time to time when fishing, but prefer to cast. ::)
-
Personally I'm an Arby's fan.
But, when it comes to chain burger places, when I drove truck there was a place in Texas, I think it was called What a burger, or something like that. They were great. The burgers were good, and they brought them right to your table after you ordered.

In and Out Burger most profitable store is in Vegas just west of the Las Vegas Strip by the I-15 and Tropicana Avenue. Fat Burger is decent too. Blue Bell ice cream out of Texas has some of best ice cream I have ever had.

Found you Axy! I KNEW you would slip up eventually.

In-N-Out burgers are popping up everywhere in Texas now and they are one of my favorites, but have some independent joints I prefer. As for coffee: Einstein's Bagels rock my world as do their bagels. Donuts: Krispy Kreme but prefer bagels.

Donuts and coffee? I'm a New Englander (specifically a Vermonter), so it's Dunkin' Donuts all the way for me. Tried Tim Horton's a few times when I lived in Columbus, OH, and never really liked them. But, they have great soup there.

When I worked in Springfield, Mass. on a psych unit we were permitted 3 'mental health' days per year - I used to put the top down on my 1966 Mustang convertible and phone in to my head nurse from Dunkin's pay phone on my way to watch the sunrise over the beach....with a large coffee and 2 Dunkin' Sticks. Could be the dead of winter - I frequently drove (bundled up) down the highway with the top down!
Good times.... & D.D. go together.
