Axe to grind know it alls

     I consider myself a fragile, sensitive egg wrapped in an incredibly thick, impenetrable and inaccessible skin.
     Also as a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

I KNEW it!

" Here is an example of a reply to one of my posts.....
I posted that High End Audio is Sucking The Romance out of Music....

Hello ishkabibil,

    "I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm going to teach you how to spend a romantic evening with your music and your S.O.:
1, Get yourself looking and feeling as attractive as possible; haircut, shower, shave, man-scaping, a dash of cologne and some cool new clothes.
2. Cook a good meal, play some music, light a candle or two and serve it with an expensive bottle of wine.
3. When the mood strikes, move casually over to the sofa and …... make love to yourself.

    Sorry, I heard you currently don't have a S.O. Love the one your with, right?"

ishkabibi,

     I really doubt you can expect a more apt, strong and humorous reply to your original thread question than that.  I'm not sure if you related that thread post reply because you were upset, offended or just to illustrate how incredibly creative and funny a fellow member's response actually was.
     In any case, I'd like to thank you for quoting it for all to enjoy.  Very relevant and funny.

Thank you,
    Tim

    I tend not to agree with the approach of just ignoring trolling or other inconveniences and pettiness we all find ourselves confronted with at various times during our lives.
     I prefer to adopt the approach that a little nudge or unexpected shocking response, with it being as relevant, targeted and humorous as one can muster, can work wonders by providing a good enough jolt to the discussion to bring participants back on track and move on to more productive discussion. Plus, it's a heck of a lot more fun than doing nothing.
     For example, say you're visiting grandma and the discussion between you, mom, sis and gramma has suddenly become so boring that it's actually about various meats that gramma thinks tastes like chicken. Sure, you could just grin and bear it until the topic eventually turns to something more interesting.
     Or, you could shake things up a bit, spur a quicker topic change and have some fun by interjecting that you've discovered that bald eagles taste just like chicken.
     Yes, gramma may poop her pants spontaneously but someone's also bound to quickly change the topic of the discussion. Mission accomplished!  
      I just think little creative things like this are sometimes more effective and entertaining with these little, homeless troll creatures.  BTW, how do they all those little imps get electric and internet access underneath bridges?

@big_greg You hit the nail squarely on the head.

Yes, there are people that are so insecure that getting attention on an internet forum is a balm to their fragile egos. They are like little children that misbehave because they want/need attention. No matter whether it’s "positive" or "negative" attention, as long as someone is paying attention to them, they feel a little better about themselves.I find the best course of action is to identify and ignore these people. It’s a phenomenon that occurs on many forums.

@ishkabibi Now that I have read Noble100s response to your thread I have to admit that it is pretty out of line. Immediately above he basically describes himself as liking "little creative things" which is pretty ironic coming from someone who spent the last year posting his long winded spiel about distributed bass arrays a thousand times. And before that it was the repetitive class D amps thingy. My understanding of the word "creative" is not that.

Fortunately it could be worse, he could post a link to his system with every post as an example of perfection.
