Pardon the newbie question from me, but I lurked over there at one time during the Troll Wars...........what got that started?
there was a fellow that went by the name of 'noah' that got into a disagreement with ho dung rant (hdr, the "supermod", waterever the hell anything as gay sounding as a "supermod" is).
basically, ho dung and his gang of camp hyenas had it in for this kid and they went after him, trying to troll him off the boards. the kid (a rotc washout?) stood right in ho dung's face, and this infuriated him and his little band of hyenas even further.
well, the end result was a bunch of the board regulars saw the level of attack from the hyenas as unjustified and they sided with the noah kid. this pissed off the hyenas even more.
soon, i sided with noah, not so much because noah was either right or wrong, but because the hyenas were acting like 10 year olds on the school playground.
attacks and counter-attacks were launched. since the moron, duhthorn, sided with "the vets"...well, that only sealed the deal and more board regulars joined what came to be known as "the campytrolls" or "the troll army".
then, some creative genius put up "the doll posts". this series of passion plays that literally sent ho dung rant, duhthorn and the entire pack of hyenas into a frenzy...not unlike those seen on "when animals go wild".
the attacks, rantings and bannings reached a crescendo...all the while the campytrolls were trading i.d.'s and laughing at the pack of hyenas.
again, the blood pressure level of the hyenas shot off the scale as they tried transparent scheming and counter-posting tactics that only got them bashed and laughed at by even more people.
they used stupid military jargon and their thoughts were rarely coherant in thei posts. it was a pathetic sight to see...a bunch of disgruntled old braggarts getting their asses handed to them on a daily basis.
i think the public ridicule finally drove a few of them off the deep end.
it was even rumored that, at one point, the old board owner trolled on the side of the campytrolls. i received many emails of support and requests to join the troll army, back then.
but, in the end, i grew weary of the daily routine of getting ho dung's blood pressure up and duhthorn ready to blow a fuse.
i knew i could never win. i always knew that. you can't fight city hall when the fat assed mayor deals from the botom of the deck. no biggee.
but...i had faith then, as i do now, that truth is on the side of the just. and the truth is what the nutz need to hear. sadly, with the circular piece of furniture running the nutz, i doubt the truth will filter thru the banned word list anytime soon.
oh well. the nutz have fredsanford to keep themselves amused with.
i find it ironic that the gang of hyenas dogged some poor kid that didn't get thru rotc...yet, they kiss up to a guy that lied about being a usn seal. weird...huh?
