It is a "Passive Ignore Silence Strike" that is, the idea that one
should respond to a troll or othe offensive poster with --- silence,
so as to kill threads started in this way, and to deprive trolls of
the response that they crave. Only works if everyone or at elast most
people cooperate, IMO.

Perhaps if you stopped being a Ranjerks fan and came into the light of the
NY Islanders, your days of being shunned would end. Come on man, you can do
it!! Let me hear you say it: THE RANJERKS SUCK!!

Hey Papa, what's in New Jersey??? Meaning why would you want to send a
troublemaker to New Jersey?

For those not born and raised in the BosWash Corridor of the USA, New Jersey
is generally dissed as the home of criminals, degenerates and other
undesirables. There are certainly thousands of decent, honest people in NJ,
but it is the butt of many jokes.
Example:
Driving on the Jersey Turnpike, a motorist was dismayed when his engine
suddenly stopped. He coasted over to the side of the road and opened the hood
to see if he could find the source of the problem.
As he was poking and prodding around, he heard a "clang" from the rear of his
car. Looking back, he saw a young boy prying off his hubcaps.
The mororist yelled, "Hey!!, what the $#@%& are you doing?"
The kid says: "Cool it, man. You can have the engine, all I want are the
hubcaps."
Also, in my youth, a length of rubber hose was known as a "Jersey Credit Card"
or a "Jersey Standard Card." ("Esso", now "Enco" was owned by Standard Oil of
New Jersey.)

I recall Esso from my childhood, but I believe "Esso" turned into
"Exxon" - not Enco. In fact, I remember reading an article in Time
about the name change to Exxon, the company using two X's because they
thought X's meant they were cool and happenin' in the early 60s (like
Xerox). ;-)

The name "Enco" was used in a few states in the 40's and 50's because there was
more than one "Standard Oil" so "Esso" used the "Enco" name in those states.
Or something like that. The memories grow hazy before the Johnson
administration (Lyndon, not Andrew).

Thanks for that tidbit. I did not know that. Interesting!
I don't remember much before LBJ myself, but that's because I was busy

stands for "intentional."
Either way, it works when done with persistence and the troll is reduced

ROFLMAO Now that we have concluded either that idea does not
stop a troll from posting or Jennifer is not a troll, how do we stop
the person who has hacked the sight of Don A. Landhill from smearing
his name. Go back to being Rabbi Dave. It was a lot of fun seeing
you piss off so many with so few postings.

Has it ever occurred to that one claiming to be a robo-brain
attorney that a troll such as Rabbi Dave is posting as Don A. Landhill
or that one Barrister and his used tampon refer to as a sock may
actually have stirred up a storm in SSS. Maybe robo-brain who
incorrectly thought Jennifer is Leslie Morgan's sock need help
figureing out that PRE-TEENWRITER brewed up a storm of my own.
By the way, has Storm posted lately or too busy managing a movie
theatre.

Might it rain 24/7/365 in New Jersey as opposed to the 24/7/364 in western
Washington? :c)
There must be 'some' reason for the continual dissing of the Garden State but I
always figured it was simply a New York snobbery thing. Some folks just need
someone to look down on, I suppose.
Perhaps Papa could enlighten us???

Certainly not!
We here in Philly take our fair share of shots at Jersey as well!

But I gotta tell ya, Jessie, Joisey gals are tuff. Don't fugg wid us.
We might have to kick yer a** and thereby break a nail, or ruin our
perfectly-sprayed big, dyed hair. And dem things cost real money to

And dat Tony Soprano - his balls are small compared to my uncle Carlo.

Everyone looks down on NJ, and there are some good reasons, beginning
with the sorry-ass state of the incredibly corrupt government evident
at ALL levels. Way worse than any other state.
Not to mention the joint's overrun with "townies" and there's an
Italian restaurant and nail place on every friggin' corner.
(One theory I've heard is that the effin' Bee Eye thinks the
restaurants are the fronts for Tony Soprano and his ilk, but
personally I think it's the nail joints. There are not enough
fingernails on all the women in the state to support the gazillion of
nail joints in south Jersey alone.)

I'm guessing you meant "might hafta kick..."
<G>
>Capiche?
LOL - ever see the Simpson's, when Bart was arrested for shoplifting? And the
big guard threatened him and finished with "capiche?" - which, of course, means
nothing to Bart.
Later, as Bart is running the scene through his mind, he has the guard finish
by saying, "Catfish?"
lol - Big Bart fan here!
Hugs,

I haven't seen that episode, but The Simpsons have long been the
funniest and most biting TV commentary on our society. It's a great
show. :-) I'm more of a Lisa, myself.
I used to work with a guy who was a complete jerk but idolized one of
the employees, who was NJ Italian. The jerk was in charge of supplies
or some damn thing, and used to send "threatening" emails to all of us
about various petty things. He frequently used "Capiche" - except he
spelled it "kabeesh". He had no clue at all. LOL.
Favorite usage of "Capiche": in Nelson De Mille's novel "The Gold
Coast", which is about a mob boss who moves into a neighborhood of
old-money Long Islanders. Imagine Tony Soprano moving next door to the
Kennedys on Martha's Vineyard (or is it Nantucket?). At any rate, the
mob boss says "Capiche?" to the protagonist, who answers, "Capiche."
The boss then gives him an Italian lesson, instructing him to say
"Capisco," which is the correct form of the verb.
Okay, well it was funny to this old English major. <g>
Hugs back, Jessie!
Jessie
>I'm more of a Lisa, myself.
I could relate to Lisa more during my activist phase (which ran from my early
teens through 9/11/01)...loved once when she was deciding whether to take up a
new cause and she asked her mother for advice.
Marge said: "Well, normally, Lisa, I would tell you to stand up for what you
believe in...but you've been doing an *awful lot* of that lately!"
But Bart will always have my heart :-) My favorite Bart moment: he's just
completed some huge prank - flooded the school, maybe - major disaster. And
Lisa says, "Boy, Bart, you really did it this time!"
Bart replies, in a voice filled with awe and innocence, "I know! Somehow, it
just all came together!"
Ah - a brat's brat!
