Why I am not a Troll.......

I wanted to title this post, “In defense of trolls” but the revised title sounded better.
After reading some of the more self-indulgent (or my forum is greater than thou’s) threads on the Serotta site (no offense to the Serotta forum family. The Serotta forum has lots to offer and paradoxically, I go there to read the interesting non-Serotta stuff. Oh and yes, you ‘re ok and I’m ok) I am further convinced why even Trolls (within reason) have their place in forum society. If not the least is to provide a ‘leveling’ effect to counter the [fill in any adjectives your imagination can muster]. Sad, but even I do not want a lawsuit to come my way or gosh forbid, lose my forum privileges.
Language is powerful but there is something to be said about unintentional provocation….However, I do not condone grammarian bullying. Everyone who wishes to participate should and we all bring something special to the community. Indeed, language use is one of the great challenges that forum admins must contend with and I do not envy them this.
Now if this post offends anybody…as if anybody but me reads stuff on this forum (sorry K) I will zap it or the big Kahuna himself will send it to oblivion.
Wittgenstein wrote (and ironically I am a probably violating this). “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent”*
Or in the wise words of Bumblebee Dave, “We. Should. Move. On”
