annoying unregistered posters

Most emotions are OK, but be careful with sarcastic. It's hard enough in person, and rarely comes across well as written words, even with the emoticons.

One of these days, I'll figure out how you do that

I'd add bcoleman to that list too! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Geesh, and I thought I was doing good just having figured out how to post pictures! (Thanks again, Brad! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif)

I don't think anyone said it personally....
A troll is someone who comes around provoking free speak at a heated level.

A lurker is someone who hangs in the shadows but is surprizingly adept at things.

IMHO of course.

Well I've been here a coupla years now. Registered on day 2 after finding this wonderful site.Feel like I've contributed to some, helped some, had some fun. I have received by far more good help than I have given.

Last week I got to the John Deere forum and found Blurry Bill's dilemma. The thread was The Tructh 4310, the good,the bad, the mostly ugly. I'm sure most of you have seen it. Now Blurry did not make all the right, or smart decisions in this tractor purchase, but I was HURTING for this guy. As I think Bird said ,more or less ,who among us has not done some of the same things in our life, maybe more than once. I have!

A few people , Muhammad included, were a little rough on him but I concede they made good valid points. I do not think their intent was to be cruel.

I ran across this Wise Guy (user name) unregistered that made a post and he pretty much chewed Blurry Bill up one side and down the other. It REALLY TICKED ME OFF!!!!!! It was uncalled for in my opinion and just mean spirited. I felt compelled to reply to Wise Guy which was simply "Buzz Off Aptly Named"
I just tried to search for any posts by Wise Guy and found none. Don't know if you can search and find an unregistered user??? Any way in over 2 years he is the only guy I wanted out of here and I hope he is gone and I am the reason for it.

I don't mind anyone lurking, reading posts that are unregistered. I understand many peoples fear, however unfounded / or correct, about signing up for anything on the Internet. I do think only registered people should be allowed to post.
