I get accused of trolling because I post things that people don’t like because they can’t refute them.

People easily refute them from what I’ve seen, but regardless, posting things that ‘people don’t like but can’t refute’ doesn’t create any appearance of trolling. A mod wouldn’t need to clarify to anyone why you weren’t being sanctioned for posting things that they couldn’t refute.

They are accusing you of trolling, and a mod needed to clarify why you weren’t being sanctioned for trolling, because you admit that you take pleasure in annoying people with your posts which is pretty much the guiding motivation behind any trolling.

It’s just that in the Pit, since it is intended for posters to annoy each other, it isn’t really a rules violation there unless it goes beyond a certain point. And you haven’t crossed that point.

@Clothahump

And I’ll gladly post stuff like that whenever I can.

Try doing it outside of the Pit and see how it goes.

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous and cowardly to attack posters and when posters fire back shriek “Troll!?”

Note, my post is not in me in any way saying that anyone on this board has an actual mental disorder. And, even if I ever do assert such, I would like to make it clear that such is not an insult. I have a mental disorder, and I don’t consider people pointing that out as an insult. (I do think it’s sometimes irrelevant, and involves a misunderstanding of how it affects me, but that’s different.)

How about you stop bring up everyone’s mental conditions altogether? I think sometimes you do it on purpose just for pity points for yourself, and when you do it to other people you’re attacking, it comes off as really, really disgustingly low.

This has no business in ATMB.

If you have a problem with another poster and want to post something like this, take it to the Pit.

Since the issue that led to this thread has apparently been resolved, and this thread is starting to wander off in different directions (not all of which are appropriate to ATMB), I am going to close this. If anyone has a compelling reason to re-open it, send me a PM and I’ll consider it.
