I don't think I troll when I read something and it triggers a thought and I share it even if it's not what the OP would hope.. I am giving my honest opinion and yet some are quick to call it trolling.
I see the same thing happen over and over.. Red gives a response that isn't to the OP's liking and yet I get it right away.. that's her response. And a minute later the thread is derailed with accusations of trolling.
Is Red trolling? I would honestly say no. Others might say yes.
I think that if those who were apt to accuse others of trolling would just give it up we'd at lease not be overwhelmed every day with the same discussion about trolling.
And, btw, a shunned troll goes back to wherever trolls come from... it's all the hullabaloo that keeps 'em trolling..

words have meaning and trolling is a specific thing. it becomes damned hard for people have discussions when you want to redefine words so you don’t look like the ass you’ve been. you can’t troll and attack people then say you love everyone and what they see is just a reflection of themselves and other horse shit. people should be able to discuss issues without the personal attacks and other shitty things you do. weak people tend to go after other people instead of discussing the topic and this place has gotten so bad there hasn’t been a reasonable discussion here in years
Whatever OT.. I just offered you a way to get down from your box.. but hey if that's what you're gonna do..
This place.. magically.. is whatever you make of it. Literally man you're a power poster so you have quite a bit of influence on the flow of stuff for sure. And, instead of doing whatever you can to facilitate it being as you profess to desire you moan about how you say it is.
But does your complaints serve anyone? That's the part that gets me. If you don't get the response you want why do the same thing over and over? Get creative.. figure out some way to bend the flow to your insightful desire. Because, honestly, you are complaining about something you're contributing to. Which kinda makes it as much on you as any of us. Make EB in your image by your very presence.. other's do. Why not you?
And.. btw.. lots of us have been suggesting action is better than words for something like forever already.. It's a part of every story.. it's the truth that wafts on the wind..

“This place.. magically.. is whatever you make of it”
dude that’s not true either. is that some kind of victim blaming shit? no one deserves to constantly be trolled and attacked. you seem to want to take no responsibility for your behavior but a group discussion is only as good as it’s weakest members who constantly troll, attack and belittle others and prevent actual discussion from taking place. long, long ago bopp laid out simple rules of stay on topic and no personal attacks and it worked for a long time. too bad there is no longer any effort to stop the kind of shit akira is talking about from happening

“it's just a little interaction between old friends”
that’s not true. akira would not be asking you to control your troll brigade if it wasn’t a problem. the way you try to claim trolling and harassment is just “a little interaction between old friends” and at other times”flirting” are damned strange things to call these trolling and personal attacks

OMG old timer...lololol...he is *so not* a jaded, bitter old man...
You'd think being *around* someone, even virtually, for this many years, you'd have at least some small inkling of who someone actually is, in essence...
You guys are spectacularly off by many barn-sides worth...lol...

that disturbed dude rarely makes sense. think he is upset i’m not buying the whole “what we get is a reflection of ourselves” excuse for his personal attacks

OT, are you even listening to yourself?
You’re the one here that whines.. and you call others bitter? Dude, you’re the one here expressing bitterness.. endlessly. Every single day.
Why don’t you just shut up? Seriously OT you are the unhappy camper. You’re the one that thinks of himself as better than the rest of us..
Why don’t you just act normal? Just like everyone else? Why not, OT?
If not, it’s on you. You OT. Not Ry, not Red, not me, You.

I notice how Bopp will say one thing, only to see it echoed for weeks & months by his followers, ao, mitra, shadow... for instance he posted something (paraphrasing here) , "anyone who only complains about problems without giving a solution is a 'loser'. Afterwards variations on this theme were picked up by ao, mitra, etc... as a running response. They copy his lead. It's weird. It's not as if they're repeating anything insightful. It's just giving others permission to bully others. And he doesn't see it.

kinda surprised we aren’t gone already. it’s clear you don’t like people that won’t conform to your views which is why your toll brigade does what they do. what an ugly intolerant place this has become since the old days

“i don't like whiners...and folks that can't add 2 and 2, even when they are given the correct answer over and over”
so you are finally admitting we get the treatment we do because we won’t conform to your views? you and your troll brigade are obnoxiously intolerant of others. you were always a smart ass but you didn’t used to be so hateful or intolerant and wouldn’t have tolerated the shit we see here on a daily basis
Date: October 20, 2024 at 20:23:18 From: ryan, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: do something about your troll brigade, bopp
no, you get the treatment you do because you ask for it...you beg for it...somehow it makes you feel special...for some reason i still tolerate your shit on a daily business...and your hypocritical whining about trolling...so all in all, you are getting pretty good treatment imo...
