For pete’s sake, Tram, you started it!

You bitched about Anthracite’s rant, and you backed yourself smackdab into a corner. Now just **sit** there, and don’t come out – nope, don’t **say** anything. Just sit there, and think about it.

Get your thoughts in order. (It might take a minute.)

Standard Doper speech:

I’ve read all your posts (in the other threads too) and you haven’t been a **total** jerk. Close, but not total. You’re an original, that’s for sure, and you might even have good stuff to share. Calm down. We really are trying to understand what you mean. And nobody’s being judgmental when they say they just don’t get it. Yet.

And the experiment has concluded. Even though you all say that you did not understand you choose to both enlighten, second guess, and insult me. And countless others have just ignored the thread or at least did not have anything to add.

I am glad that you all took the time to do whatever it was you were trying to do.

Conclusion: Being judged on spelling, sentence structure, and a host of other perceived lacking verbal skills, it was concluded that tramtwo was an uncaring, bigoted, stupid, cancer, of an incoherent asshole.

And yet they rail against the OP…

Which all came from this…

Run through the spell check by request.

_I bet you talk louder to a deaf person. LOL_

tramtwo, Our, o.k. my, perception of you did not come from the OP in this thread, that just lured me in to see what you were talking about. I went to the other thread to try to understand your point, but I could not find a clear one. So I didn’t know what you were trying to say, because as techchick68 said you were not coherent enough. And if we, I, didn’t understand then fuck us. Those is fightin words my friend.

I don’t know about anyone else on this thread, but I judged you to be confused. From what I could gather from your original post you were disjointed. Yes this had a lot to do with your sentence structure and lack of coherent thought.

That your view is cynical and not enlightening was my judgement of what I thought you were trying to say.  
So. . . Are you saying that it is O.K. to call people fat and ugly because no matter what you say feelings will be hurt? That’s impaired reasoning in my book. Unless you are trying to say that _you_ have to right to stomp all over other people’s feelings --even if it has nothing to do with what you are discussing-- because you’ve had your feelings stomped on.

Explain this experiment again, please.

So, really, this is an experiment in online sociology? Hmm. You know, you remind me of someone who used to post here…

Anthracite, do you have concrete evidence?

No troll hunting on the boards, please…if you think you’ve got a troll candidate, email a mod or two and ask.

And DEFINITELY no “online experiments” on the SDMB. I’m closing this thread. Tramtwo, consider this your first and possibly only warning.
