Topic: Trolling | |
---|---|
Let's cut to the chase . . .
Although someone on this site has been accused of trolling, no evidence of trolling has been presented. Thus far, all we know for certain is that one member felt "pissed off" after reading another person's comment(s). Does the fact that the one felt "pissed off" automatically mean that the other was trolling? No, it does not. |

That's fine... I'm not here to attack you. Just making people aware of the troll term... and hoping you'd realize a thing or three. Either way, I'm all good. How disappointing. I was looking forward to being taken out of context. |

I do a lot of trolling in here for all the tuna I can snatch up.

Where are the mods up in here! I see personal attacking and making people the topic of discussion. Me, I say fk off to the PC wanna'-be-enforcers. As long as I stay within the rules of the site, I'm good. I say something that pisses somone off, they free to git unpissed and really free to kiss mah a$$. Sometime, a ho just beg fo da' bich-slappin', no? You just contradicted yourself. First, you call for the mods, then in the next breath, you say "fk off to the PC wanna'-be-enforcers." |

Since you have accused me of trolling, I feel a need to reply. The views I post ARE my views on whatever subject is being discussed. I know many of my views are controversial, but that doesn't mean I'm trolling. It means I have different views than most. It's my feeling that having different views from the majority here is often an asset. How dull would it be if everyone agreed about everything all the time? The most powerful tool to use against a troll is to simply ignore them. This takes away all their power to frustrate and, if that's what they're really up to, they'll get bored and leave. I've been posting my thoughts on this forum for a very long time. I don't think they've changed much over the years. Obviously, the moderators don't think I'm trolling because I've not been banned or even contacted and asked to turn it down. I never insult anyone, although sometimes the most insecure ones think I am. So, I try to point out that I'm not talking about them when I say something. It doesn't help much though. Some people seem to be looking for a reason to be insulted. You do post things in such a way so people will argue and fight about it, though. So true. We just need to turn on the ignore button. Don't give the fire any fuel so to speak and it will die. |

I assume we're all grownups here and can take it as well as dish it out. Or would all of you prefer I patronized you? |

Now, why would you think we'd want you to patronize us? |

Now, why would you think we'd want you to patronize us? I don't think that. That's why I don't censer my posts. I was asking a question. I suppose I could do that. Just start being all nice and lovie dovie. But, is THAT what you really want? Another nice guy kissing your arse? I don't think so. |

As you can see, I haven't said that. Relax, man. You can word things however you want. I don't think anyone is saying you can't. |

You said;

I said that I don't go out of my way to do this. But, I don't sugarcoat things either. I say things in a simple, blunt way that makes my point as clearly as I know how. If this offends someone, I'm sorry, but it's the only way I know how to communicate my thoughts. I'm not down on women. But, I am down on many of the things they do. These are the things I'm usually posting about and I don't think women like me shining a light on these things. I think many women would prefer I just shut up about what may be wrong about them. |

I'm well aware of what I posted. And I still stand by what I said.
And yes, I'm aware that you don't like things some women do. That's fine. But, you've shown you have severe trust issues, so I think that has a lot to do with it. |

I won't live with her or marry her. However, I'm willing to give her my heart. Shouldn't that be enough? |

Nobody on this site that we know of is a troll. So, the point of this thread is . . . The point is now me saying thank you to all that stepped up in support of thoughts, ideas and views that may differ from their own. If there was an emoticon of a cheering crowed, I'd post it. And I never post emoticons. So, I hope that enough to express my feelings. |

Is it all clear now? Can I come out?
trolling The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help. Yes,.....I'm a last word freak....You're a troll |

Yes,.....I'm a last word freak....You're a troll I might be a troll, but I don't do it in secret, nor do I try to piss people off- people do say I like to shock people though. Oh and BTW, now I have the last words- neaner, neaner (did I spell that right- neaners) |
