Leave this thread. Pretend the pit doesn’t exist. Either you’ll flame out or you won’t, but in here all you’re doing is reinforcing peoples’ vibe towards you.

Or don’t. Whatever. I don’t spend much time talking about wars **or** beeve balls.

Seconding.

Also, learn how to [use the quote feature](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/were-all-here-now-what-basic-tutorial/911081).

Also, use passable punctuation.

Also, understand that this isn’t a chat room. You don’t have to respond to everything.

A wordier version of the classic “My post is my cite.”\*

My problem is that they’ve given me enough reason not to believe them. They contradict themselves, claiming to both be an long time lurker but not actually understand anything about the board. They’re deliberately antagonistic, trying to start fights in ATMB. They even used the troll “lol” at the end of a sentence, as that’s clearly the point.

I’m a fan of calling this stuff out before it becomes a problem, not waiting to see. And I don’t really get why people seem to be feeling sorry for the guy who continues to be an ass.

Sure, maybe he shapes up and becomes a useful poster. It would take work (as they’d need to also start posting thoughtfully, and not just whatever single sentence pops in their head). But they could do it. However, I’ll wait until they give me reason to actually believe them, first.

I know several trolls on this board who acted like this guy at first. Trolls I stupidly defended.

I don’t know the mechanics of the board because I was not posting. If that is what you mean. Edit: that is a reply to Big T

Here’s something I’ve noticed common to trolls here: y’all’s main refuge is “I stated my opinion” as though that’s sacred. Look, everyone has a right to an opinion. What you do not have a right to is for a completely asinine, uninformed, ridiculous opinion to be treated with respect.

It’s really not possible to hide behind the first part without meaning the second part, if one’s on the troll-wagon, of course.
