A trolls objective is to **** people off, Al has done this time and time
again and he still gets responses and gets some guys all mad..Lets face
it, he's a part of ROFB like it or not...deal with it....

Ahhhhh, the pure sentimentality of it all. Sice I read the group on
Google, this "thread" actually began on April 15 2001 when Al, then
posting as JAJWUTH wrote:

I notice when i cast the upper half of my rod twists clockwise. It is
annoying
since it has to be straightened by me. It also effects the length of my
cast.
It is a Hank Parker rod. The retailer that sold it to me retreated back
to USA.
I had a real embarassing moment when the whole top of my rod flew off
into the
water.
It seems to me the ferrule doesn't fit tight enough. Would this be a
manufacturer's defect? Is there a remedy or have i been wired ?

Have fishing rod...will travel.

That time, he managed to snag our own Rich Z into responding....but only
got that one.

On May 30 2003, this time as Canoe Angler (my favorite of his names) he
posted:

I was fishing this evening and i snagged a damn carp. My rod snapped
when i was
reeling it in. I figure the line should have snapped before the rod. I was
using 10/2 power pro. I'm definitely taking the rod back to the retailer
for a
store credit.
I don't like cutting the line since i was using a good minnow plug. This
is my
worst year for rods i've gone through six rods.

That time, he snagged 8 ROFb'ers....AJH and others.

This time he's snagged 8 again as "Lure Builder" but he got warren 4 times.

ROFB has improved his trolling ability......

The problem is, if you don't call a troll a troll from time to time, some of
the newer people will to this message board think that he is just a
ill-informed person, and give him leeway. Some even get ****ed and leave the
board because they do not understand what he really is.

They may even get the impression that this board is for only a select few,
and that anyone else who asks a question is trounced upon and squelched for
their posts. I believe in calling them as I see them. I have been reading
and posting to this fine group for several years. I knew about Alice when he
was a bee keeping troll in another news group a very long time ago and went
by the handle jadwuth - (Jack and Jill went up the hill).

Troll bashing is acceptable in all news groups where they are found. Trolls
are mentally decrepit individuals and need to be recognized for what they
really are... Socially isolated, lonely and mentally maladjusted persons,
whose only social contact is the ridicule they receive from their posts.

Ever see Alice write about going fishing with the fellows, having his
friends over to help with his canoe house, or rack or whatever. Going for a
night out with the lads in the neighborhood? Actually contributing any
useful information to this group? He goes to wally world to buy his gear,
then goes to the local bait shop to pick the owners brains and does not make
a purchase to help support his main information source.You get the picture.

This news group is his social life. And he does enjoy it, as you said. But I
am not willing to deal with it by not doing anything or by ignoring the
problem - because it will not go away.

Now, after all that, if you would really like my opinion I will tell you.
