Omnibus Trolls R Us Thread

You are literally wrong. I think people who like pineapple on pizza to be lowlife scumbag degenerates. But I don’t think they’re trolling.

This is the thing about Trump that his supporters call “telling it like it is”. It has nothing to do with how “it is” in reality, but they love it anyway. It would be more honest for them to say that they support Trump because he “tells it like I want it to be”.

Watch what you say about my wife and her abominable taste in pizza toppings. :mad:

Relevant Pearls Before Swine.

A poster finally gains some insight into the nature of his brief window posting on this message board:

I was being completely honest. Giving pre-pubescent children medication to block puberty and forever changing their physiology is appalling and severely disturbing.

I feel very confident that my opinion on the subject, if polled nationally, would be the mainstream.

Ah, appeals to popularity for the slam dunk? I feel very confident that my opinion of you as a sad, hateful little troll, if polled board-wide, would be in the mainstream. Fortunately for you and transgender people, appeals to popularity aren’t very useful.

But one important difference - you have no evidence that your opinion has any basis in fact. I have extensive evidence that my opinion does.

A moment’s reflection on social progress throughout human history will tell you that this is evidence that you are almost certainly on the wrong side of this. We didn’t need activism to (for example) abolish slavery or enfranchise women because the majority mainstream view was the right one.

Good for you!

Problem is, we don’t decide what is and what isn’t proper medical care by the national polling of folks like you.

CMC fnord!

Let’s see, 1st post, wall o text, about very personal stuff…yep, I’m thinking troll.

When did we become “Dear Abby”? Never ask random strangers on the internet for relationship advice.

But yeah - lots of red flags there, based on previous board experience.

Is Tempe Jeff a troll or not? At this point, I’m not sure I can tell anymore. Two or so years of mostly innocuous posts, then suddenly raging Trumpist.

After about the fifth post of his in that thread, I could no longer maintain any beneficial doubt: cast my vote for “Troll.” Could just be “Trump voter who drank too much watching football this afternoon,” but I’m not willing to believe that anymore.

He’s got another one going at the same time over here in a different forum. As for the troll question, I don’t know – sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between an intentional troll and a feeble-minded imbecile. He’s already been topic-banned from starting Jeffrey Epstein threads, one of which was started in GQ for the purpose of implicating Bill Clinton as a child molester. Then he complained about his Epstein threads being moved. So yeah, judging from the tone and quality of his posts, I’m guessing he’s either an immature dumb kid or a grown-up imbecile of very limited intellectual stature, whose cognitive development got stunted at about the age of seven. I note that he makes his living sorting packages in a company mailroom, so, not a rocket scientist. In fact I think I just convinced myself that he fits the profile of an authentic Trumpist.

Not to defend Tempe Jeff, because fuck him, but I make my living shipping packages in a company warehouse. Why can’t I be a rocket surgeon?

Only a sick demented fuck would alter a child, and that is precisely the “social progress” that makes people gag when discussed openly.

This comes off as quite elitist, although I don’t think you intended it in this manner. There are more reasons to go off track or never begin a career than lack of intelligence. In this case it was certainly a factor though.

I would change “troll” to “low effort troll”. He posted nothing but an OP in his G7 post. If he’s going entirely for reactions then people are definitely providing them in spades.

Yeah, I hear you, those sick fucks at Operation Smile make me gag.

:rolleyes:

If by “people” you mean “people who revel in their fundamental ignorance of the scientific research and history of the issue”, then sure.
