Who didn’t know?<\/p>\n

Here is Keith from Housing Panic<\/a> volunteering to “go easy on me”, to “pull his punches” — essentially to “take a dive”.<\/p>\n

1) A war with the thousands of HP’ers so harsh and loud your practice and reputation in Arizona likely wouldn’t survive (beyond the damage you’re doing yourself)<\/p>\n

We speak of trolls casually, but the Norse idea of the troll is a much more serious thing. A troll seeks chaos, another fine word ruined by overuse. I wrote once that a troll is “a spark of hell’s fire seeking ready tinder on the earth.”<\/p>\n
