Here's another heart attack for you. I agree with youReba said:For starters:
Fair and honest is the morally right thing to do.
Fair and honest makes you a better person.
Fair and honest means you can sleep with a clear conscience.
Fair and honest means you have a positive impact on society.
Fair and honest means you set a good example for others.
Fair and honest means you don't have to constantly look over your shoulder.
Well its a shame that the people in washington dont set that an exampleDeafSCUBA98 said:this famous quote i heard commonly.. but its created by a famous person (not sure who)

Yep, that's what several AD'ers and I discussed a while ago. As one member simply puts in, he is trolling.Codger said:I just read this whole thread from start to finish. What a riot! Time and time again, this guy chums the water and drops in a baited hook and everyone takes it. He loves to play games with you folks. He loves getting you all riled. He displays every possible bad trait that he can think of, twists logic and morality, and waits for intellegent folks to take the bait. I guess he is bored. But he never fails to get the desired response. Remember the kid in elementary school who always misbehaved? He did it for the attention. He did it to be noticed.

An internet troll is a person who sends duplicitous messages hoping to get angry responses, or a message sent by such a person. The term derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" and ultimately from trolling for fish. It's used to refer to unwanted internet posts originates on usenet. The term is frequently abused to slander opponents in heated debates and is frequently misapplied to those who are ignorant of etiquette.
Trolling is often described as an online version of the breaching experiment, where social boundaries and rules of etiquette are broken. Self-proclaimed trolls often style themselves as Devil's Advocates or gadflies or culture jammers, challenging the dominant discourse and assumptions of the forum they are trolling in an attempt to subvert and introduce different ways of thinking. Detractors who value etiquette claim that true Devil's Advocates generally identify themselves as such for the sake of etiquette, whereas trolls often consider etiquette to be something worth trolling in order to fight groupthink.
Trolls are sometimes caricatured as socially inept. This is often due to the fundamental attribution error, as it is impossible to know the real traits of an individual solely from their online discourse. Indeed, since intentional trolls are alleged to knowingly flout social boundaries, it is difficult to typecast them as socially inept since they have arguably proven adept at their goal.
Yep. Pretty descriptive.
