Did **Bo** ever just type “LOL” _before_ this insane trolling? If he didn’t, which I suspect is the case but cannot search for 3 letter words, that would put paid to the claim that it is simply an autocorrect of what he was going to type anyway, yet “forgot” it was going to be autocorrected. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Go ahead and search them. You’ll find that your further attempt to make me out to be a lawbreaker is also false. > > I’ll readily admit to not giving a shit about annoying someone for a few seconds, just like you don’t give a shit when you annoy people for very brief periods. That’s just life. > > Or maybe you actually do spout off at everyone wearing clothes you think are in poor taste, or have a bumper sticker you don’t like, or play sports you think are stupid, or any of the million other things that happen in public every day that annoy you. That would make you an asshole, IMO. > > If you worked in an office and one of your coworkers wore a funny tie one day a week, would you start belittling him in front of the rest of the office because you think funny ties are stupid and it annoys you that he wears one? > > Most of the people spouting off in this thread seem to be doing so because they are mad that I won’t do what they want, not because seeing “Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there” annoys them so much. It’s already well within their power to never see that phrase ever again; the fact that they choose not to do what is in their power, but instead try to force me to do something, is what part of what makes some of y’all bullies (and bigger jerks than I am accused of being, IMO). > > You don’t like seeing it? Put me on ignore. Or would that not be sufficient, because then you wouldn’t be able to bitch about it and call me names and try and defame me? The above is much more entertaining when read in an angry duck voice. ---

It’s funny when people who troll accuse other people of trolling. ---

> [@Measure\_for\_Measure](#): > > You argument is weird AnaMen. You go on and on about how critiquing Snowboarder for his annoying behavior is bullying… then say you don’t think bullying matters that much. I know the difference between a stag beetle and a dung beetle–does that mean I must care deeply about at least one of them? Online “bullying” matters to me to the degree that it is jerkish behavior and nothing I’d want to participate in. It doesn’t matter to the degree that we need laws about it, that the victim should kill themselves over it, or take it to heart. It’s something assholes do, but they should be free to do it, because it makes it easy to pick out the assholes. You shouldn’t take the disapproval of assholes seriously, but you should pay attention in case they decide to escalate to actual harm. > [@](#): > > I’d say that doxxing, cyber stalking and credible threats of violence are pretty serious problems. That’s not what we’re seeing here. Has someone claimed otherwise? > [@](#): > > I’m also not too keen on picking on folk for sport - I’m not seeing that in this thread. It’s to join the human centipede. > [@](#): > > What I’m seeing is an attempt to get Snowboarder Bo to curb behavior he knows to be annoying. I’m also seeing people who derive enjoyment out of other’s annoyance. No reasonable person could possibly care that much whether he uses this phrase. Wanting to control the victimless behavior of others is a massive personality defect, and it’s karmic justice to watch them squirm about someone else’s behavior instead of seeing themselves as the problem. > [@](#): > > I’m guessing that trolling and bullying derives from same motive. And that attempting to get Snowboarder to knock it off is something else entirely. Trolling is generally done by an individual for attention. Bullying is a way for losers to feel cool. Opportunists desperate for a feeling of belonging can join in the pile-on just by agreeing with pathetic defective control-freaks who actually think someone else’s typed phrase that has nothing to do with them is painful for them to read. > [@](#): > > Try looking in the mirror sometime. I still look great, thanks! > [@](#): > > There’s also a little bit of push for tolerance of shit-headed posting. Ironically, Snowboarder Bo actually provides mostly decent content. Years ago he was told politely that he was undermining his rep. So he’s aware of it. He doesn’t care. Why should he? Altering your actions to please bullies is weak and idiotic. ---
