"Okay, lets get this clear: I is not a 'Troll', man."

There is a website defining 'trolls'.

http://curezone.com/forums/troll.asp

Lets discuss it, orderly fashion and all that, right?

'An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer.'

I haven't posted anything 'outrageous'. The closest I came to outrageous was the Timmay topic, which was obviously a joke and he realised that.

I'm not 'baiting' people to answer. Was my topic on 'Scientists realise why pictures always look at you?' baiting people to answer? Nope. I just post things that I find funny and hopefully others will find funny, be it articles or auto-erotic asphixation.

'Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.'

That's not happened here yet and probably won't ever happen because of me.


'Sometimes, he is skeptical, trying to scare people, trying to plant fear in their hearts.'

It's obvious I'm not trying to scare people or plant fear in anyone's hearts!!


'Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash.'

Funny, that. When I arrived here, all I got was flames and name-calling and pointing. How did you expect me to react?


SO THEN.

If anyone here still thinks I'm a troll, please speak up, or forever hold your silencer.

I suspect you get my point but are skirting around it.

For examples of "disparaging", see some of your topic titles.

Just because the other member doesn't respond by flaming you back, doesn't mean all is ok.

This forum allows for all types of posting and points of view, but a couple of your posts have been seen as personal attacks and they're the ones we're bothered about. I'd rather just ask you nicely to stop than issue warnings.

You sure told him, Chief.

Well, he did.

Did anyone else sing when they saw this thread title?

To the tune of "I'm a Soul man"?

Isn't everyone a Troll then? When I post a thread I want people to reply, doesn't make me a troll.

Hoops forgetting the word 'outrageous', there.



Still, points for effort, pet.

well i've read this topic and i can now safely say that that forest chappie is the most welcoming person i've ever met

Wow, a genuine, "Heh!" On the forum!

Hey English Bloke, do you have any close friends or family that have died recently? Also, did you suffer from abuse when you were a child?



Because I need to back up my databanks on the adults here. I've got Timmargh's funny yet gory backstory, and Dr Cheese's incident with the self-circumcision is legendary, but I need to know your deepest secret. I'll unleash it on you when you least expect it.
