Which one was that?
Well, while I’ve been shaking my head over your posting habits thus far, you were courteous enough in the thread I started about my dog. So…here’s hoping that if you do join, you find a way to fit in a bit better than you have done so far.
Join dammit. I enjoy this board becasue of guests and members like you that stir it up a bit. It is especially fantastic when they can stir it up and still stick around, just maybe stirring a little more quietly so as not to go the way of the Dodo.
You would say that, wouldn’t you, Troll-huggin’?!
My favorite…
Seriously though, I won’t invoke his name. I can tell you that I admired his style. If you’d like to follow my post the clues become clear. He was masterful at whittling up threads which simply hinted with ire, while always remaining dismissive of any object opinions. If you want to ask my non-doctoral opinion he was sort of a psychopath; not meaning that he butchered families in the dead of night, but it seemed like he just couldn’t understand anything past himself.
For instances, he would just start a thread about how good of a driver he was, asking about other people’s skills. It seems like a benign and simple topic, but after a handful of answers, in which someone predictably rants about over-aggressive drivers he comes back to claim that that poster is a bad driver, and he should be justified in cutting people off, speeding and changing lanes without warning.
Not his best work, but simple and subtle. He was the troll that was the itch you can’t reach, not the one who poked you in the belly with a stick.
I don’t like what X is says does not mean X is a troll. Just because he doesn’t like fatties and has pissed some people off, doesn’t mean you have to like him. But, maybe… just maybe, he has a point. I think it’s essential for things and ideas to be brought up that nobody wants to bring up, because they’re “taboo” or “offensive”. YMMV.
Bingo.
Yeah, the handjob reference thread alone gets my vote. B’sides, it’s nice to know there’s somebody willing to admit to being less-well endowed than I am. I ain’t sayin’ by how much.
Ah, you couldn’t find that one in your files, I guess. Keep looking; with all those folders, it’s gotta be in one of them.
Damn, but Huh?
Guin likes to show off her knowledge of board history every time anyone accuses anyone else of being a troll.
He’s marked now. Even something like simply start this innocuous thread becomes “attention whoring” and worthy of an official warning for being troll.
Two and a Half Inches of Fun, it’s a sad fact that you are now pretty much destined for bannery, unless you start only the most vanilla of threads. If the 15 bucks is significant to you, I’d keep it if I were you. Any sort of unpopular view will now be labeled trollery, or the simpletons will whine about you “stirring up shit” until they find a reason to ban you.
To the OP, I’ll quote Zen Master Steven Hyde: “Whatever.”
I’m not sure which put me off more, the question (which struck me as unseemly), or the response (which struck me as catty).
Damn skippy, I never caught that before. Not even as a joke. I wonder if **Guin ** agrees with your assessment.
That is not fair. **VCO3 ** is still around under a different and very long acronym. Same with Der Trihs, **Valteron ** & Carol Stream. Posters have survived being branded a troll. There is only one of those four I would consider a troll, but all four have been called such many times.
However, I agree, he will be watched more that the average new member. Provocative threads as a guest will do that.

Oh, you mean threads made by him that share views like: “Fuck fatties” and “let’s tax disgusting, fat people” and “Lets institutionalize the homeless” (started in GD) and cut and paste, full-length, copyrighted material posted in other GD OPs and such posting gems such as: “Let your dog lick peanut butter off your balls, it’s not cheating on your SO” and “Heath Ledger succeeded [in suicide] where Owen Wilson failed” and “You could put your dog down because he won’t stop biting you” isn’t enough?
Speaking of things that are not fair… No fucking way DT belongs in that group, hell Valteron probably doesn’t belong in any group that has Carol in it.
ETA: :smack: Never mind. I jumped the gun when I saw a list that contained both DT and Carol. Probably should have read the whole thing before posting. Come to think of it maybe I should do that more often, read, think then post.
Read what you quoted from me, specifically the “THIS THREAD” part.
The message board needs
new and interesting folk
stay a while please
I don’t see what difference it makes. I guess Fluiddruid and Frank didn’t either. YMOV.
To me, when taken in with all of the other posts, this one is just the continuing saga of “LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.” Most of it, after the history of posting, all equates to the same thing: Posting to get reactions out of people and cause stir-ups.
If you don’t think so, that’s fine. But that’s what he wants.
