I'm curious about something, Syrus. You don't seem to have any problems at all with the "brat pack" acting like asshats, hell you even defend them. But when it comes to someone giving them a taste of their own medicine, you get all snippy. Why is that?

As I've said before, you guys stalk the "trolls" of this board tying to give them a taste of their own medicine, and fail to realise you are become that which you hate. You and Korrigan are becoming the biggest trolls on these forums. Just take a step back and read through Korr's post history and honestly tell me the % of this posts that arn't just putting someone elses opinions or posting styles down.


You do the same thing. You scour these forums just waiting for a "troll" to slip up so you can nail him for it. You're trolling just the same. Can't you see that?


Anyway, I don't care to make every thread into a troll fest like you guys do, even if in your altruistic view, you think you are contributing to the greater good. The trolls at least know what they are doing and they are up front about it. When I make a serious thread I know that I will have to laugh at or ignore a few trolls or flames, that is just the nature of the beast. But to have you do-gooders running around starting fires under every bridge doesn't get rid of the trolls it just creates a lot of smoke.


If you have any questions about me personally, or my posting style, or my affliation with the other posters on this forum I will be happy to answer them in the off topic forum, The Asylum, or in a PM. This line of posting is no where near on topic for this type of forum.

Damn, you're just overflowing with maturity. The very trait you insist others project.

I don't really know Korrigan's history and really have zero desire to read his post history. When he shows his ass, I call him on it just like I do anyone else. I did that just a while ago as a matter of fact.


"ou do the same thing. You scour these forums just waiting for a "troll" to slip up so you can nail him for it. You're trolling just the same. Can't you see that?"


I don't need to "scour" anything. Nearly every single thread posted on these forums gets derailed by the "brat pack" in one fashion or another. If you don't like me speaking up about behavior I disagree with, oh well.

"When I make a serious thread I know that I will have to laugh at or ignore a few trolls or flames, that is just the nature of the beast."


It shouldn't have to be that way at all. But, sadly, people are more interested in encouraging and egging on the rude behavior then they are in having serious discussions. They continue to be rude and hateful because their behavior is tolerated and encouraged.

Maybe not but it is that way, and filling the thread with anti-troll hate doesn't help the situation at all. If posters were able to just ignore those few 'rude' posts and carry on with the thread, threads wouldn't blow up like this one.


"Calling out a Troll" does nothing but feed them. You're giving them exactly what they are asking for. When you do this they don't feel called out, you arn't giving them a taste of their own medicine, you are proving to them their tactics work.


You guys are all about maturity? I see none in your tactics. Would you find it acceptable for a partent to throw their food back at the disobient child who is thowing his food at their siblings? What do you think that would lead to, more or less food throwing?


You guys are just too stubborn to walk away because you think that would admit defeat.

Who are you to decide the guidelines of what a serious discussion is? I think that's the point Syrus is trying to drive into your titanium plated skull.

I'm perfectly capable of having a serious discussion with professors or sailors, tailoring my responses (not facts) to my audience. Just because you lack the mental capacity to accept that NOT EVERYONE IS JUST LIKE YOU doesn't mean the rest of us are incapable of 'serious discussion'.

TLR Get over yourself.

I have refused several times to get drawn into a pointless arguement with them. I've done it with Spooky, Gutter, and Arc. Hell, just yesterday, I made it clear I was writing a thread off as a waste of time rather then argue semantics with Arc.
