Most of us know who they are, and there are actually fewer than it seems due to posters with multiple handles. I admit I've been naive. I've fallen for their bait before, too, but I've finally realized that all they want is attention, and not to engage in any substantive exchanges. They aren't concerned with how quickly or how often they are voted off the board for a few hours. You can stump them and link past posts which show how wrong they are all you want, but they'll keep going and will always be back. They will always "win" if you keep responding, no matter what.

Why do I care enough to subject myself to the kind of ridicule I might receive for posting this? Because I happen to like Tigerboard, the football board at least. I'm a Mizzou football fan. I like reading different points of view, including those I might not agree with. I don't believe everyone has to have a "Hurray for everything to do with Mizzou football! 'sunshine pumper'" attitude, or that you even need to be a Mizzou fan to post here. Criticism definitely has a place on a message board. I've learned things about Missouri football (and football in general) here that I might not have elsewhere. But posting meaningful criticism about the head coach (or previous head coach) vs. clogging up the board just to get folks worked up over and over again are two very different things.

The bottom line regarding the trolls here is that Nick is clearly not interested in dealing with something that well run boards I've visited simply wouldn't tolerate, and he apparently won't empower his mods to do much either. It's a shame, but it is what it is. So please, just ignore the trolls. Thanks for reading.
