Now if you're willing to put your real name on your posts, then by all means tell me how "trolls make forums interesting" and so on. If not, then you're just flat out wrong.
Good point! That is different than other sites. Why do people use their real name here? Just curious.

But if there was no banter back and forth, most forums would die. The problem is people take it too far.
