I remember reading somebody's online description of trolls, where one of the signs is that they keep saying that they're quitting an online community / list / newsgroup / forum / site / etc., but rarely actually do.
GENERAL: Away, away!
POLICE: (without moving) Yes, yes, we go.
GENERAL: These pirates slay.
POLICE: Tarantara!
GENERAL: Then do not stay.
POLICE: Tarantara!
GENERAL: Then why this delay?
POLICE: All right, we go.
ALL: Yes, forward on the foe! Yes, forward on the foe!
GENERAL: Yes, but you _don't_ go!
POLICE: We go, we go
ALL: Yes, forward on the foe! Yes, forward on the foe!
GENERAL: Damme, you _don't_ go!
POLICE: We go, we go
ALL: At last they go! At last they really go!
