shameless shill...
for personal reasons, i think you all should consider the following to be the most balanced thread of the year...
and what might i mean by 'balance' you ask...
that fine line between couth and crass, delightful and demented, gleeful but not gay, deliciousness and disgust,
that,
would be balance...

Thread 161707
Now, about BustyBeaver and this site being appropriate for 13 yr olds ... If this thread hadn't publicized Busty's on-again-off-again, it wouldn't have come to the attention of anyone but Busty's private fan club. It would have remained buried in the 14,000 or so pages of players here and the chances of a 13 yr old blundering into one of her off-again phases would have been very slim. Self-un-fulfilling prophecy...

but what s a troll?
--Wiki
Sometimes also used of a person who assumes an online persona, not the real-life personality, often in order to take up a preposterous or politically incorrect position with impunity.
The question which I posed remains unanswered, what constitutes a "best troll"? Is it a person consummately skilled at upsetting other people and thoroughly obnoxious? Or is it a basically nice person who merely jovially teases others? Or is it something like "best Bond villain"?--i.e., the one you can't help but like (e.g., Jaws, Oddjob, etc.).

In a strange way I have become rather fond of badger.
I certainly vote him least boring most entertaining poster.
