There are some things we shouldn't do, but we do them because they
entertain us. For example, it is not at all nice to aggravate the
monkeys in the zoo by standing in front of their cages and pulling
faces at them and making noises. It's cruel to bait them like this.

Mocking "LOL" - by any of his names - is cruel and aggravating. He's
like the chimp in the cage, though, and it is kinda fun to get him all
worked up.

.... the goal being to have him make another preposterous claim about his
life, his photographic skills, or the capabilities of his cameras.

I really don't worry about my dignity as represented in this group.
I've been humbled in real life too many times to worry about my online
life. It started one day in grade school when I went to the restroom
and returned to class having forgotten to zip up my fly and with a bit
of my shirt-tail poking through...right in front of a girl I had a
crush on.

I don't know what kind of reputation I have here. Pedant? Mediocre
photographer? Troll-baiter? A person uninterested in the
overly-technical aspects of the photographic medium? (I don't care
how the size of a pixel is defined; I care how the pixels are arranged
in what I photographed.)

My well-being is always enhanced by laughter even if it's no more than
a snarky snort. "LOL" makes me laugh because he tries so hard to be
taken seriously and is so obviously undeserving of being taken
seriously. The paradox amuses me.

Some say pulling the wings off flies is entertaining.

Flies are sentient beings, deserving of respect accorded to all life
forms.


LOL Isn't.

Well said. While you accurately state the goal, one must have some
technical understanding of what went wrong in order to make meaningful
corrections. Problem is for some here technical perfection is their
goal, not pixel arrangement.
