I don’t think EN is a troll, even if the linked to thread did eventually make me feel mighty uncomfortable (after I laughed, of course…I’m 50% asshole). Here’s why I don’t think he’s a troll: he knew the thread was potentially volatile and posted it in the Pit. It was a mod who moved it to MPSIMS. A troll would have put it there to start with, but EN was cautious enough to start it in the Pit.
Trolls are not, as a general rule, cautious like that. He was trying to avoid trouble, not start it. He just thought it was funny and wanted to share.
I thought trolling meant to say things you don’t believe in order to illicit a reaction? Epic obviously believes that thread was funny, or he wouldn’t have posted it. Saying what you believe, regardless of the validity or PCness of it, is not trolling.
You could start by saying that you’re not the other guy, which as far as I can tell you haven’t done yet. At least not here - I haven’t felt the urge to wade through the other thread.
Don’t do anything, I really don’t care. But your OP could have been crafted a bit differently. I don’t see the need for this Pitting - why not just post your ‘proof’ in the other thread and be done with it?
ETA: Banned during post.
Thanks for the quick response, Marley! I almost responded by kindly letting you know you’d copied the wrong link before the whooshing sound alerted me. :smack:
Isn’t it more to the point to say “If you’re breaking the rules by having more than one account or are a returning sock/troll, don’t call attention to yourself”?
