(6,378 posts)I'm reading the thread, I can see that there's no text. I don't have to be told that there's no text when I can see there isn't any lol.

nt and eom are courtesies.

(101,414 posts)It can say "don't scroll down to find more text for this reply" - or, if it's a thread with over 50 replies and you're looking at the version with just the tree and one particluar reply, you know not the click on it to find out more.
It's also useful when you see it in the 'My Posts' tab - you just get the title of replies to you there, and if they have 'nt' or 'eom', you know there's no need to click to find more.

(6,412 posts)..I've had 3 or maybe 4 posts remove by jury. And have had couple dozen that should have been removed and fully expected them to be. So capital punishment is not a deterrent.
Aside from that, to me, the real trolls are those who;
1. Keep beating the dead horse of Bernie.
2. Keep beating the dead horse of Hilary.
3. Those who think Israel can do no wrong. Essentially..."I don't support Bibi, Trump, etc. but their policies, actions, etc. are a-ok".
The last one gets me into trouble a lot. Not that I care....fuck'em. I'm an animal to them anyway.
