Some of you may be missing some of your comments. I removed a ton of sock puppet comments which were all the same person, and therefore your comments may have disappeared if they were responding to one of his threads. I also banned those accounts for violating for what is pretty much our only rule: no sock puppets.

  2. It’s a sad life when you have to troll a site called Other Crap, and you are banned for being a crap sock puppet.

    1. Oh, well, maybe I get it. I guess trolling is sort of fun, but you do have to wonder why he would bother trolling an insignificant and somewhat silly site like this. He could get many more and much stronger reactions on Fark or Reddit or someplace like that with hundreds of thousands of readers with strong opinions of their own.
