> [@WellHelloThere](#): > > I am familiar with your troll experiences. I am not a troll Fine, I gave you a much better (if still essentially wrongheaded) argument in the thread to work from. Impress us. But your ‘long time lurker’ claim is clearly BS as pointed out by @crowmanyclouds, and it makes you look even WORSE than your prior denials. ---

Are you telling me to prove I am not a troll? ---

If you were a long time lurker, you’d know that a large portion of this board, and probably of this thread, actually enjoy to a small degree high quality trolls. You have an opportunity to prove you’re high quality in your arguments and wit, your troll status is to be determined by the mods at the end of the day. ---

So after attempting the ‘why are you all picking on me’ tactic WHT is now attempting to deflect to, I think, a Chinese POV as if that somehow changes the factual events. I doubt I’m alone in thinking this isn’t witty, entertaining, high quality, or unTroll like. ---

From the retitled thread: > I do have a bad track record with citations, but anyone that knows anything can agree with my main points. When someone says this in a discussion, it doesn’t matter if they are a troll or not. It is pointless to engage either way. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > When someone says this in a discussion, it doesn’t matter if they are a troll or not. It is pointless to engage either way. No, that’s trolling. If you are in a presumably civil discussion (in other words, you’re not in the Pit) and you declare that anyone who disagrees with you doesn’t know anything, then you are being intentionally inflammatory. I would flag it, but it seemed to have already drawn a mod note, so all good. I expect that persisting in that kind of interaction outside of the Pit is going to make this a short stay. ---

Well, I’m done with WTH WHT. There last statement disgusted me so much that I can’t be bothered. If they aren’t a troll (doubt) they have such low affect and intellect that they can’t be distinguished. ---

I consider myself a long-time lurker and I seem to be able to handle the board’s culture just fine, but maybe it’s because I’ve grown up and followed a similar intellectual path as the rest of the board. ---

> [@WellHelloThere](#): > > I read this stuff. It is not true I point at this sentence, and many others, and can only think WHT is speaking to the troll voices in it’s head. I cannot imagine a more disjointed thought process. But since it seems to be fixated on me, I refuse to feed you anymore. As a long time lurker, you’re of course familiar with ignore, right? ---

The board seems to have an issue with you, or at least several active members of said board, so I don’t think I can agree. AFAIK nobody here hates me, or has brought me up to accuse me of trolling. ---

> [@WellHelloThere](#): > > I stated a very unpopular opinion. You’re also insulting people repeatedly. Which is fine in the Pit, but outside of the Pit, it’s going to get you labeled as a bad poster. It could also draw negative moderator attention, but I’m not a mod myself of course, so this is only my opinion. ---
