Anyone from the Enquirer board remember "Texas Scarecrow"? Not that I miss him ... he just was among the most annoying.

Yeah, that's the board I'm referring to. The guy is literally nuts.Originally Posted by KittyDuran
He likes Paul Konerko over Casey and hates Graves in general.(Not that I really blame him for not being a big fan of Graves)
My assumption would be... the same reason the owners of The National Enquirer and The Sun are stinking filthy rich! Some just cannot avoid it.Originally Posted by SunDeck
That KronoRed character is the worst troll out there. Seriously, wish someone would just ban him already
Good point. I think some folks liked the jousting, too.Originally Posted by RedFanAlways1966

Is there any way someone could post a link with some of the old trolls' stuff on it?
I feel like I missed out on something.

I've always believed the Don and de la Hoz were the same guy. Ran himself into a corner as the Don (when it turned out he understood squat about the game of baseball), tried the de la Hoz route, which worked for a while until he snapped again. Then he morphed into the megarepugnant IAKNGYF.Originally Posted by RFS62

I thought he was brilliant, but he certainly didn't play well with others. Don Cameron went on a drunken jag one night and dropped f-bombs all over the place, only to beg for forgiveness the next day. But it was the straw that broke the camels back, and he was finally sacked.

IIRC, Don did that more than once. He'd start with superior, get exposed as woefully unimformed, break into a tirade, then come back mewling.Originally Posted by RFS62

If Don and de la Hoz were the same guy, then they (he) were two fairly different personalities. IIRC, Don actually had something of a grasp of grammar and spelling, of which the Hoz was woefully ignorant.Originally Posted by M2

Had the same targets, the same hair-trigger, the same superiority complex, the same humorous flair, the same barely sublimated racism, etc.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
Went a little e.e. cummings as de la Hoz, but the substance was virtually identical.

Let's just put it this way: I wouldn't for a minute doubt that de la Hoz/Don was capable of pulling off a Sybil.Originally Posted by M2

They sound like interesting people.
