I heard an analogy once that makes sense to me wrt FFL: that we're all in this
lifeboat together. If one person changes position or leaves the boat, or if
someone new arrives, everybody has to shift a bit to help maintain the balance
of the boat. Ahoy mateys!

I think the folks here have spoken clearly as to who the two trolls are. Alex
doesn't want to deal with the post limit and I can't blame him. This is

trolls are just trying to ruin FFL because they hate the place.

you post your own
comments, Ajax. I thought my replies
