Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
Would anyone be willing to either either post or pm me a list of the particularly annoying and recently active trolls? I know this is very lazy of me but I literally have only a few minutes a week to read this forum at all anymore. I feel overwhelmed even trying to keep up with the discussions at all. I'd prefer not to waste any precious time dealing with the nonsense and would simply put all trolls on "ignore".

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
Why would one want to automatically ignore people, because someone else says they're trolls?
Ok, you say you don't have a lot of time to sort through junk. I get that. Don't blame you for that. But to IGNORE, think that that symbolically is. You're IGNORING another point of view. Probably one you might not agree with, or support but the fact that you are cutting yourself off from even CONSIDERING it... I don't know- seems kinda like putting on blinders to me. Like when some people IGNORE all the BAD things in this world, because it tarnishes their beautiful minds to think about such things... that's not balance, that's BS. And that's not being fully human. As someone said in this thread, 'trolls' can sometimes be great sources of information. |

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
371 it is much different to come in start a thread and let the thread flow but when one comes in and visits several threads to provoke a response then leave and start a thread you are not going to get any meaning full discussions. First you have people upset at the derailing of their threads second when you come in with a swagger like you know it all and the members here don`t have a clue because they don`t share yours or Michael`s views then what would you expect would happen.

Northern Boy,
I can only speak for myself and my own actions. And I didn't know anyone had a problem with me... other than you. |

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
Never said i had a problem with you 371 you seem to think I do . Your posts have not reflected any thing close to what Michael was doing . Your participation so far from what i have seen has been respectful of others . I`m sure if he would have approached things similar to how you have he would still be posting. He choose the road he did for a reason what ever it is things didn`t work out for him

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
Eventually the mods will come in to either cool things off or close the thread . There is nothing wrong with having a discussion of opposing view points its healthy but when someone comes into a thread and posts stuff like what happened to Brook and is generally being disruptive in several threads without offering any thing up in return that cross`s a line and they should be reported to a mod and that mod should deal with it promptly I`m not saying they haven`t been but that is one way of dealing with it

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
I was instantly reminded of a quote from the movie "Aliens"...
"Take off, nuke the entire site from orbit. Only way to be sure." But then, considering my stellar attempt at civility on the last page... perhaps not. I still like the japanese term: Mokusatsu: To kill with silence.

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
I think it's important to remember that someone who disagrees with us or has a different opinion isn't a troll.
Trolling is personal attacks. Sometimes people yell 'TROLL" when no personal attack was made. When that happens, the accuser becomes the troll and it goes downhill from there. |

I'd beware more of hobbits and leprechauns.
You can't trust those that have rings or pots of gold. |

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
What I've used to deal whit attackers and provocateurs is I don't answer them back on their attacks and negativity. If I answer it only means there will be more responses and so it continues if I would keep answering.
Someone has to stop. I appeared here in not my intended way I would have liked. I took a risk, and it was a real risk looking at the responses I've gotten by some members in the threads. Never have I been treated this way elsewhere than here! Not in real life nor internet. Damn my 6 months army conscription time was better! In real life few people have tried to bully me a few times. But I won't allow them by not responding to their provocation. If they really try something I go back against them. I have nothing to gain from them or their behaviour and won't accept it either. |

Re: Useful Tools for Dealing with Provocateurs ...
WE are eachother people.
And the sooner WE realize this the better off WE will all be. The heart of this thread has alot to do with what has become of our current paradigm. |
