When the two of you monopolize the thread, it starts to get very boring.
6 or 7 posts out of over 6500 is hardly monopolizing.
You have 305 posts in this thread. You’re in the top 4 posters.
Ah shit. That’s my lot in life. Always number 4.
Maybe we could make a list of desirable troll qualities. Name-calling is so one-dimensional. I think there has to be an outrageous statement or opinion to pick apart, as well.
Yes, but when someone intentionally acts like a total douche because they think it’s funny to annoy people, what do you call that?
If your argument is that you’re incapable of not being a total douche, and therefore your total douchetude isn’t intentional, well, there you go.
“Morgenstern”.
See, now this is a troll. If not in the “deliberately trying to make people angry” sense, then in the “repulsive thuggish creature from somewhere dark and moist” sense.
Jesus. Having seen that poster before, I’m sadly not shocked. I am however shocked that the thread has managed to stay out of the pit for an hour and half so far.
A troll. :S It is actually possible to not come off like a total douche and still be trolling. And vice versa (much more common). And II, as should be pretty fucking obvious, who’s a douche or not is very much in the eye of the beholder.
No, that wasn’t my argument. My argument was simply that being an infuriating asshole doesn’t necessarilly mean you’re a trolll, or that you’re trolololling (happy Morgenstern?).
Well, I guess a mod could change the thread title to “Omnibus Trolls and Total Douches R Us Thread,” but you’d probably find something to bitch about with that title, too.
This one may be worth watching. A lib trying to troll libs? That’s a refreshing approach.
Kremlin spy in a blue overcoat? They are getting much smarter comrade.
I’m not sure I’d go that far, but a new poster who racks up 27 argumentative posts on their first day certainly sends up a flag. I guess “proudsockz” would’ve been a little too on-the-nose.
Of course, by worth watching, I mean lawn chair and popcorn.
Aye; I spotted him a couple days ago. Even told the mods who I think it is so they don’T ERR and ban the wrong person. That wouldn’t be OK; RAther HOld for MAny days and be right.
Okay, you get naming rights them. I’d suggest you use Vinyl Turnip’s offering of “proudsockz”, but as the original discoverer you traditionally get naming rights.
Okay, that was clever. Your reward is that I’m authorizing you to go down to the quarry and throw one thing down there.
ONE.
It’s full. He’s using the river now.
Mr. Foley better move that van.
Okay. Great question asked here. We might have our next contestant.
