| While the original post is pure crap, I find it more funny (in opposition to the anti-troll concept) that some user here has been self-appointed as the overseer of trolling. Someone actually took the time to read the original post, then go on some search engine to seek out the user and find the same word-for-word post elsewhere and then point it out here. I find the P.C.'ness of the word troll just ridiculous - this obsessive behavior regarding those that voice their opinion in all seriousness or otherwise and attacked as being a troll because he/she is the minority voice. But luckily we have those professionals here that have NOTHING BETTER in their lives than to sit, isolated, alone, in a dark corner somewhere, scouring the internet for the same post on another site, to support their own definition of a troll. It takes some serious anti-social hermit types to do this. It's unfortunate to think that this person is in-charge of the education of youth. |

Wait. A frequent visitor to a forum criticizes other frequent visitors to the same forum for spending time communicating with others about common interests?
A "minority voice" does not qualify one as a troll. It's the obsessive (where have I read that word recently?), repetitive expression of deliberately contrary, fabulous, sensational, and often unsubstantiated opinions that contributes to the "troll" moniker.
RE: PC-ness of the term troll. Apologies go out to all those who fish by boat and ogres who live under bridges.
Are we happy now? |

Whats your position on wall mirrors and do you look into them?
In all seriousness i actually enjoy your rabbles because they do often contain some information its just presented in a very condescending way in which no one could ever walk away saying thank-you. I bet you're the rage at staff parties. |
