Feeding, or starving, the trolls

By Tangotiger, 11:33 PM

I respond to Mr. Silva:

“I suspect deep down they want a bigger role- who wouldn’t want more power in a multibillion dollar industry- but I can’t go by anything other than my own intuition about people.”

As I keep saying on my blog time and time again, summary opinion without evidence is the very definition of bullsh!t. And Mike’s statement here is pure bullsh!t.

Just as, for example, I can say that Mr. Silva, who wants power in the mult-billion dollar internet industry, will beg for scraps like a troll that he knows the rest of us will feed him, can get more hits on his site, and sell more advertising.

I farted that out, just as surely as he did his opinion. Both of which are as worthless as the time that has now elapsed.

Dude, c’mon.
