Do you think forums have secret 'banned list' of people so if you register at a similar but unrelated forum they already know? If so why go to such great lengths? It makes it feel like China (Dot) net.

BTW: Troll doesn't actually mean having a different opinion then most members. It somehow morphed into that but originally meant you were pushing for a fight but now a days it means your opinion is so different the forum members can't agree on it and come to a conclusion about you so you must be 'trolling' others.

Yes, the word "troll" has gone from a very specific meaning to one used to quash dissenting opinions. That's the lowest common denominator for you. Bring enough people to Saidit and it'll happen here. I don't know why people think we'd grow and still remain the same when we'd be so hopelessly outnumbered.
