Both Katie and I rose to the bait; silence would have been a better strategy.<br /><br />Col Scott is not a troll, and I never wanted to imply he was. In fact I tried to make my comments as general as possible, but it seems I can’t stop other people’s inferences.FrankMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929422641281493764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-85758191958267154752013-01-15T18:04:39.240-05:002013-01-15T18:04:39.240-05:00I just want to reiterate what I posted before....
...I just want to reiterate what I posted before....<br /><br />If someone's life is so lonely and empty that they feel the need to bully and cause trouble the best thing to do is to ignore them. By ignoring them you take the control away from them and bullying and trolling are just a desperate attempt to legitimize someone's self importance by controlling others. Simply ignore them. After a while they'll give up and go bother someone else. It's that simple. It works for me.

But he would argue he has the right to go anywhere to defend his views - his main one these days being defending Bobby B. The Saint and AustinAnn got on his bad side by simply voicing their opinions and offering up certain damaging evidence against Bobby.

Does he come here to irritate? Of course, that's his personality. But as I said, you can't ignore his understanding and passion about the TLB case. When the Col is inactive I honestly think the Manson blog world suffers. So I take his bad with his good, and when his "bad" gets excessive, I will confront him - just like I threw out hundreds of guys at the Hole for improper behavior.leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-78201377059450891402013-01-15T14:49:44.579-05:002013-01-15T14:49:44.579-05:00I understand your point Matt.

A worthy foe so to speak. I don't mind going toe to toe with him every now and then. I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis but a couple of times a year I enjoy calling him out on his offensiveness - especially when he does it to someone I like.<br /><br />Look, Frank and I have a different perspective on what a blog is. That is all.<br />I see a blog as a bar, like the one I bartended in for seven years in Austin, the Hole in The Wall.<br />The Hole was full of characters. some brilliant, some just obnoxioius. All types.<br />It feels to me like Frank sees a blog almost like a mosque - a place of higher learning and spiritual aspirations.<br />That's cool, obviously. It's just not me. I am a honky tonk guy. Someone takes a swing at my friend, I join the fray.<br />I am forever grateful to Lynyrd that he runs a place where everyone is served, up to a point. And it is Lynyrd's call, and only Lynyrd's call, what that point is.<br />If someone like Kimchi or Frank want to change the point then they should dialogue directly with Lynyrd. He's earned that.leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-6845656249282654302013-01-15T14:48:37.358-05:002013-01-15T14:48:37.358-05:00Well, I'm good with Maxim #1.

Many times......Frank makes some very valid points.<br /><br />Many times... (in fact, most times)... "less is more".<br /><br />At times... <br />I'm guilty of giving too much credence to troublemakers myself.<br />I always regret it.<br /><br />Troublemakers, are looking for attention.<br />It's as simple, as that.<br />They don't care if that attention is positive or negative.<br />If you fight with them... you're giving them exactly what they want.<br />By doing so, you're ensuring that they'll return.<br /><br />Everyone likes to be heard.<br />If you ignore <i>anyone</i> enough times, they will <i>eventually</i> grow bored... feel powerless... and leave.<br />And <i>eventually</i>, they'll stop coming back altogether.<br />(One of Frank's points)<br /><br />Problem is...<br />In a group this large... there's always one or two bloggers, who can't resist the urge to argue with idtios (trolls)... and so, the trolls keep coming back.<br /><br />If you feed the trolls... you're not helping the blog.<br />When I tell people that "I've handled it"... take my word for it... it's been handled.<br />I don't need further "assistance".<br /><br />Another applicable thought:<br />If I really respect a person, and they've demonstrated intelligence and character... their words can effect me.<br />I take their words to heart.<br />But, if I know someone is a bozo... their opinion means nothing to me.<br />Always consider the source, before reacting.<br />(Also, one of Frank's points).<br /><br />How anyone can allow a fool, to bother them to any great extent, is beyond me.<br />As I always ask:<br />"Who's dumber... the fool... <i>or, the person arguing with the fool</i>"??<br /><br />"Less is More"<br /><br />A great college lesson:<br />Every semester, I worked (almost) full-time, and carried five courses.<br />To lighten the load... I intentionally chose one course each semester, that I <i>hoped</i> would be kinda easy.<br />I called it my "blow-off course".<br /><br />This particular semester, I took an entry-level art class.<br /><br />Anywho...<br />We were doing this art project, which required glue.<br />Literally, it was Elmer's glue.<br /><br />I globbed a ton of glue on my pieces.<br />The pieces were smearing around, and not adhering together, at all.<br /><br />The professor came over... and with a 'dab" of glue... he attached two pieces effortlessly.<br /><br />He looked at me, and said:<br /><i>"Son... sometimes in life, less is more... this is one of those times".</i><br /><br />That art course was a gazillion years ago.<br />I can still hear his words echoing in my ears today.<br />His advice alone, was worth the price of admission to his class.<br />My "blow-off class" had yielded one of life's greatest lessons.<br /><br />"Less is More".<br />It's so simple, yet almost Zen-like.<br />Try it sometime.... you won't regret it.<br /><br />I still haven't achieved the necessary self- discipline, to act on my old professor's advice at all times... but rest asuusred... I know he's right.LynyrdSkynyrdBandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729740027224198169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-89209460743752147962013-01-15T13:55:26.093-05:002013-01-15T13:55:26.093-05:00>>>Leary said: But I feel the Saint has r...>>>Leary said: But I feel the Saint has really worked hard to be more professional and he deserves credit for that.
