forum trolls


I honestly don't think you know what this phrase even means

According to Wikipedia;
"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion"

Now, occassionally I have been known to digress from the topic a little for the sake of humour, but the fact you don't get it does not in itself equate to sowing dischord, neither is it starting an argument. If you are upset by what I have had to say in the past, I can assure you that your taking offence was not and has never been the object of anything I have said.
I don't even know you.

If by doing it accidentally (And I do see that in the description above) I fall into the description, well then so does pretty much everyone on any forum anywhere.

You have definately referred to me with that term when I have disgreed with you ON-TOPIC and without profanity or resorting to personal attacks. My temper can be short however, and snapping when you push me back with flat insults like this one what we are discussing here are entirely likely due to my personality.

So if I have offended you with my personality, I'd ask you please, pretty please with sugar on top...

leave off with the "you am troll" every three seconds, ok?

Most of the time people on here call you a troll when they either have no argument, or you disagree with theirs. It only helps to show how weak their stance is.

As far as blocking is concerned, I've done it twice. Both times was due to a horrid bright green background colour , nothing more. But I enjoy reading peoples posts, especially those that fail so well. So cannot see the reason for blocking in that regard.

The topic has moved off-topic sufficiently to be locked.

Forum rule 26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.
