PrintIn a squeaker we have the OC defeating Josey Wales for the right to be called Troll#2.
The Agreen07 Troll Theory states that in order to successfully become an LSB troll, one must satisfy ALL of the following conditions.
1) Establish yourself as a legitimate commenter by posting a minimum of ten (10) insightful and/or interesting comments related to the Rangers.
2) Develop at least one shtick (examples include religion, firing the general manager, hatred of all things LSB, injection of politics into non-politics threads, one-word responses, etc.)
3) Maintain an 5/1 ratio of shtick to non-shtick comments.
4) Be a jerk to anyone who disagrees with you, and remain staunchly unshakable from your beliefs, regardless of logical responses presented to you.

Denied.
The following troll did not fulfill this criteria.
1) Establish yourself as a legitimate commenter by posting a minimum of ten (10) insightful and/or interesting comments related to the Rangers.
Doesn't this also disqualify Dr Pepper from the ballot?

Laugh out loud.

Aww, Beat Weed
You’re so neato…
Those who would sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither.

Not posting the previous winnners
is fail
Nolan Ryan is the Greatest Pitcher ever, because Google says so.

Seriously?
That’s the 2nd person to say that. It’s always been up there.
In a squeaker we have the OC defeating Josey Wales for the right to be called Troll#2.
and where do you list
Troll #1?
Fail. Fail. Fail.
All other folks who do rankings list every previous winner.

I’m requesting that you stop these rankings after number 4, simply out of your neglect for previous winners.
If they win, you commemorate them at all times … period.

OT OT
Does anyone else think “Lieutenant Brooks” when they see “Lbrooks”? Is it the capitalized L and all else in lowercase?
Nothing pithy here. Please move long.
LBrooks
When I see him, I think of the Simpsons, because “LBrooks” is one of the producers listed on the TV in the opening.

I think of
a crazy girl named Laura Brooks that I would say was comparably a young Amy Weinhouse when I knew her. Maybe that is just me…
Did Laura hook you up with free coke?
Otherwise, why were you friends with that headcase?

I have to say that this "troll theory" is seriously flawed.
- I don’t think 4Him has ever made one point about the Rangers. Why is he listed?
- LonestarJon qualifies, but barely. The only schtick he has is posting pictures. And he hasn’t done that since the off-season started… thus putting the dreaded ‘5:1’ ratio into question. Plus, I’ve never found him to be a jerk. He might be pro-Salty all the way, but he’s never been a bitch about it.
- LBrooks does’t meet the criteria for this. His Ranger posts are not insightful.
- Same thing with The Ahmad.
If these four can make the list through loopholes in Agreen07’s theory… then I would like to see Rodney and MuscleFag added to the choices, please. I can only take so much of their grab-assing.
Nothing personal.
I do believe brettgardner and thedirkatron also meet all four conditions of this laughable theory… though I find both of them to be sharp enough not to qualify, and thus not “trolls.”
GREINKE HO!!!!!
I agree
Wikipedia says:
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
This is the appropriate standard for which to measure a troll.

Congratulations O C!!!
The only thing that kept you from being the champion TROLL is Save Us.
You can only take so much of a lot of things, that’s your problem.
Have you been called an asshole yet today?
You have now!!! :)

Go smoke a bowl,

I maintain a 5/1 ratio of schtick to non-schtick comments???
That sucks.
And I like to think I’m not a jerk to everyone who disagrees with me. I get into it with peeps from time to time, but I try to at least back up my opinions with stats and shit.
Unless we’re talking about my arguments with Brian Thomas, but that’s different cause I hate him and we’re enemies.
I do have the best schtick on the board, though.
When we finally get our collective shit together and meet for LSB night at the BPiA one of these years I’m gonna get the whole gang together in the 7th inning stretch for some 40-man themed call and response rapping.
When TheDirk says “The Forty” you say “Trumps All”!
THE FORTY!
TRUMPS ALL!
THE FORTY!
TRUMPS ALL!
The 40 Trumps All!!!
