    Be careful if the trolls are at 82.148.97.69. That's a proxy server for Qtel and blocking it could block all traffic from Qatar. Does anyone in Qatar drive a Prius?

    I watched you constructing your sig, which you have now deleted. Good troll!

    As I have been the result of this, I think we all get paranoid of trolls here. I am OK with differing opinions on trasportation, etc. because in the real world, I am the one who is the outcast! I can sympathize and a little healthy debate never hurt anybody.

    If you post such a crude sig, keep it real, troll. What an innapropriate and Neanderthal way to act (sorry Neanderthals).

    Do what you came here to do, so you can get deleted faster.

    bye :)

    For clarification, the term 'troll' refers to someone who trolls for reaction. Someone who attempts to provoke flame wars. If some of these guys are spamming, technically they are not trolls. Rather, they're spammers. From Wikipedia:

    "In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others."
