It's a thread where 90% of posts are people making up their own wacky trade ideas. Big deal if somebody wants to have a little fun and get people to push and probe for more details.
That's kinda what this thread is for - just a fun place for people to have fun with trade rumors. All your response does is make people who might have something to share less comfortable to do so because they are just going to get attacked for it.
If people just want the news from Dreger, Mackenzie, and Friedman then they might as well go right to the source and follow them on Twitter or just block everyone except for Sureloss.

Trolling is malicious by definition.
Making up wacky things is different than selling wacky things as legitimate.
I have posted wacky trade scenarios and legitimate rumours before, I know one from the other.
Like I said in my first post, there are posters who do this EVERY year this time.
FlamesAreOne can post what he likes, and I can post what I like, and what I like is to point out people actively provoking the message board with information they know will cause a disruption.
I don't care if people want to speculate on Neal for Lucic, I've done it in this thread. But if they're going to sell it as legitimately almost happening, that's something entirely different.
