Look, if you want to rewrite the New Testament, do it on your own time.Time to grow up!
The best answer is to silence to a troll, not out-wit him. Its a endless battle and usually bringouts the troll in yourself. Im starting to witness a non-techspot admin in this pointless fight to quite the guest.
Remember what your parents did when you cried for something irrelevant?
What are you names trying to accomplish? hopefully not the currently obvious.
Why would I? I want to be right here with you.Cranky Update!
I spoke too soon when I saw six posts... i forgot there was another page! D'oh! It is now thirteen posts from the cranky one starting at 7.30pm Thursday to 1.00AM Friday. Do you even visit any other websites? Could I interest you in a browser extension called StumbleUpon by chance?
crankyboy: Let's just go with, "takes one to know one", shall we?
You've made six comments from 7.30 to 10.00pm. If that's not a troll, I don't know what is.
"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
But it also rules absolutely.
The first sign of realizing a lack of knowledge means there is a lack knowledge. Stop embarrassing yourself ...
It doesnt work
Five posts already cranky? Damn.
If I've missed any of your stupid comments, or given you credit for another's, no matter.In case anyone hadn't guessed already, AJ_the_kid, Captain Cranky, Gwailo247, Archean and Guest are all ME!
I take a bow :applause:
I honest to God don't know which is worse, the trolls "drunk with power", or the goody, goody reformers, "drunk on sociology or psychology survey courses". Get over yourself, everybody speaketh great b*** s*** when the chapter on "social dynamics" and "the ideal internet template" hath been placed freshly in thy mind.Anonymous posting is useful when used responsibly.
It can allow for views against the grain without as much risk of having an identity compromised due to over-attachment of others to their collective common-ground views and one-of-the-club peer pressure mentalities.
When a relatively non-personal subject becomes "personal" then the discussion can quickly lose its efficacy.
In this particular discussion we can see evidence of this. Even the "Guest"'s have become "Guest" for some posters in their mind. A telling delusion.
We have to be very cautious to not mistakenly dismiss a dissenting view for a Troll. For many, the fragility of our ego will want to marginalize strongly opposing views by attempting to apply a label as such.
In a brighter world we would welcome any efforts to broaden, clarify or correct our own views which can only serve to lessen our collective ignorance.
Happy killing, maiming, and slaughtering. Let us know how it works out.Wow that last 3 pages of this was somewhat entertaining....going back to Bad Company 2 now.
OK, this is great, (and sadly, oh so true), stuff. LMAOI suspect one of the reasons people find the act of trolling so much fun is the fact that the real world has evolved to the point that there is little room for socially acceptable ways to vent. I mean you wouldn't dare tell the incompetent guy in the cubical next to you that he is an affirmative action employee and you are having to do your work as well as his too. Even if it is true it is politically incorrect and you will get fired as well as sued. You can't tell the prick in management that he is a stuffed shirt that wouldn't even have a job if not for the fact that his brother owns the company because once again you would be fired. You can't tell your formally slim wife, that has gained ten pounds for every year you have been married, that since she seems determined to put the entire con tense of the fridge down her throat why doesn't she try your *ock for a change. If you do you will get divorced and your life will go from low grade to high grade *hit. So the internet provides a harmless outlet. If trolls bother you too much there is a simple solution. It's called the "off" switch.
