Trag's great. It's weird that some people always give him shit. But it's not surprising.

It's called banter. If you had friends, you'd understand this.

Or maybe you're just turning people off without realizing it.

It's worth noting that Trag enjoyed giving and receiving shit. He was an enthusiastic proponent of the "ball-busting" form of camaraderie, even when other RMers vocally and repeatedly attempted to opt out of it

I never really got that sense at all, at least in practice. Not that he seemed to mind much usually. I didn't see him doing a lot of ball busting.

Like I said, in practice he was quite tame. Mostly, trag would matter-of-factly post some bizarre off the wall opinion or thought process, and it would invite rage filled replies. I can relate.

We often forget that he's a native new englander. He absolutely busts balls.

Do you mean jokingly, like "Trag, I swear to God..." or are there people who were genuinely bothered?
