Kiss the wife and kiddies, tell them you'll see them in two years and run out to CVS to stock up on soap on a rope because this thread has annoyed me terribly.

Well, it's sure been fun here on TBD. I guess it'll be shutting down now, since 98% of all the posts here annoy someone!

I did not fully understand this article. Does this only apply to blogs, or could hogboy for instance be arrested for trolling a particular poster on a message board?
