Common sense dictates that if one suspects a trolling endeavor, it is often best not to respond at all. On the other hand, everyone is entitled to an opinion and thus, we have discussion forums of various kinds.
I'm all in with the concept of giving you more rope.

Bristol I don't think you did anything too out of line we have some real prudes on here. I have seen much worse at company parties with open bars. Architecture Firm I worked for had real extravagant Holiday parties. Witnessed a drunk associate run the length of the ballroom and spear tackle another co-worker who was "dancing with his wife too close". The next year my boss physically choked a co-worker on the dance floor for dancing with one of the young interns he had an eye for. Neither were fired. Stuff like this happens when unlimited alcohol is involved.

Interesting. A troll-like response from a troll-accuser. So what else is going on in your world?
