It started when I posted a reply to her thread:

Thank you Gaia, Adults need the reminder too! <3

Then I saw her sig which was a picture showing a smoker's teeth that were brown and yellow with black in between.
So I said to her:I'd like to point out that your signature is misleading. Not all smokers have teeth that look like that. My mom certainly doesn't and she's been smoking for the past 30 years.
HurricaneIslandheart
That's fine. The "Tobacco Ban Protest" sigs of celebrities, cartoons and attractive people smoking are also misleading. Some of them even have the cigarette obviously photoshopped on. Not everyone who smokes is cool or attractive, as demonstrated by my sig.

Me: I'm not saying they are. No one said they are. It's a matter of freedom of expression.
HurricaneIslandheart
Yep! Including the freedom to express unpopular opinions. That's what I'm exercising with my sig. heart

Me: But your sig is misleading. Not all smoker's teeth look like that. But you're trying to portray the image that they do.
HurricaneIslandheart
No, I'm not. It says "Smoker's Teeth," not "Smokers' Teeth." That means that these teeth belong to ONE smoker, not more than one/all smokers. Sorry if you missed that grammar rule in school.

She then posts my first quote as her signate which says:
HurricaneIslandheart
Fair enough. There you go folks; I'm not misleading you anymore due to posting the TRUFAX.


Me, after seeing this: Lol. I can't believe that a 30 year old would pull something a 13 year old would do. I mean, you are 30 right? I think it's silly someone who claims that they know better than the rest of us would do something as stupid as what you did. Thank you though in admitting I'm right. I'm sorry that you got so a**l that I called you out on you trying to post the "TRUFACTS".

HurricaneIslandheart
It's not stupid. You're the only one who's objected, so you're the only one who is providing an opposing viewpoint. Therefore, your viewpoint counters mine for a fair and balanced signature. There's nothing wrong with that

Me: Yes, I might be the only person that has posted an opposing view point on your profile, but you need to rethink what you just said and check your thread. I'm not the only one there posting my opposing viewpoint. Or am I to believe you have no intention of doing so? It's funny how you think you're doing a people a favor by trying to post these "TRUFAX" of yours while not taking into consideration how shallow you sound. As stands proof in your thread, no one cares if cigerettes are going to kill them. They smoke because it's their choice and you're not going to succeed in trying to change their minds. That's something you're going to have to accept and just deal with it. Posting your statistics isn't going to make you seem better or any smarter than your target audience.

Any thoughts?

Is that the one that made the "Even adults need reminding too, thanks Gaia" thread? Someone else told her if she's 30 to act like it xP

Typical forum troll. My money's on that she's not even anywhere near 30. Then again, I've been surprised before. Like my mom used to say (well, not my mom, but...) the best thing to do with trolls is to ignore and avoid, or call the three Billy Goats Gruff.

Or wait for the sun to rise (for fans of LoTR etc), except that trolls mostly stay where the sun don't shine.

Besides, they regenerate damn quick (for fans of the NWN series, and D&D in general). The only way to kill them is burning. So bring on the cigar(ettes) and pipes.

May I add in that her signature is gone?
Just thought that would cheer some of us up...
