So who is going to jail this time?
Sadly, no one is likely to be jailed over this.
And this is precisely what this needs to be put front and center
I'm disappointed by the general lack of trolling skills here, I thought "we" were supposed to be the best of the best at that game...
Where is fucking judicial watch over this? Can't they just apply the ADL/SPLC and shit playbook? How hard is that? Troll the fuck out of them, make them screech and lose their shit to no end, rule 4 gaddamn it
I never considered myself much of a troll. I do still have my Guy Fawkes mask from Operation Chanology, but that's not doing much good.
Look, why do trolls get so much flack from day1, on the intarwebs?
Because, as simple users, if you play their question/answer/rhetoric game as an admin, you're going to lose your mind and the whole board will burst in flame, that's why
Admins and users in general are pissed at trolls precisely because they succeed at pissing them, so much contempt they resort to that "troll" label, out of bitterness
Remember how you are supposed to deal with a troll? Pretend he doesn't exist, don't talk to him, don't answer
It's quite telling, when it comes to their disturbance power
And what is trolling? This is nothing new
Socrates was a huge troll
It's just a guy, a schemer with rhetorical skills essentially, whose ultimate goal is to turn your own arguments and logic and rules, against you. By using questions, bait and switch tactics, provocation, you name it
That's what it is, it takes skills to master the art of trolling, because this is an art
Everything and nothing can be an art
Painting a wall isn't an art in itself, but you can bring wall painting to art level
It's up to you, it's all about what you do with the cards you have, not just about the cards you have
