Wow Rick... you've really been on a roll.

I like the word ignorant. It describes so many things.

Oh man I used to LOVE those things! I remember back in grade school every time I would get upset b/c my mom NEVER let me spend the night at my friends houses she would buy me a new troll doll for my collection to make me feel better. I had so many of those things. I distinctly remember that they smelled funny, I don't know why I had them close enough to my face to be able to smell them, but they did smell odd. And their hair fell out a lot too. Oh well. /hijack

A perfect example was the thread on GreekLife where some 'girl' supposedly posted a link of her ex naked. Last time i looked it had 20 replies. That's exactly what that person wanted, because even if all 20 people called them a loser, it still kept the thread at the top of the page.

A little self-restrant people, if someone's already called out a 'troll' for a stupid post, let their words stand for you and resist the urge to throw in your 2 cents.

Unless of course it's about republicans or Texas, then we can keep bumping it all day or night :D

[hijack ] anyone else ever have those ugly troll earings?? [/hijack ] anyway, why don't people just report posts that seriously offend them? that's what i've started doing. posts in threads that are arguing differnt points of view are no problem to me, but links to naked people showing up on GC evey two or three weeks is seriously starting to get on my nerves.

Trust me, we would've loved to delete that thread the moment it started. But mods can only "mod" in their designated forum. It just so happened that the Greek Life mods weren't on around when it happened. Or else it would've been gone in a second. I think people just wanted to have a little fun with it because it was pathetic :)

Re: Trolls
 
Well if people respond they are obviously just a little slow or just immature.

Or maybe they are just Reverse-Trolls. In the sense that they love drama but like to be "in the right" so its ok for them to even worse than the troll as long as someone else "started it".

Honestly, many times the people thata re responding create more drama than the so-called-troll.

So my question is, if you think someone is just here to be a pain in the arse, why respond at all? Especially, why respond with anger or annoyance? Because if you believe that trouble is what they're here to start, why give them the satisfaction of getting it? They're probably enjoying themselves as we work up steam! I know that being pissed off at stupid people is part of human nature, but I think that overcoming the urge to tell someone just what you think of them is one of the refinements of civilization that GLOs are part of upholding.

Just my 2 cents.

My sister came to a church thing with me once and this guy said she looked like a troll and so the rest of the time she was called "Trollica" (her name is Jessica).

PiKA2001 07-17-2003 12:27 AM

There is this lady at my work who looks like a troll , but her nickname is " old lady muskrat"

Tom Earp 07-17-2003 12:45 AM

I think you GCers are getting totally imature and katty! This is totally uncalled for as I am the Head one on immuturree on thread!

What is a TROLL anyway!! Is that your way of making fun of us short people!!!

That poor girl. ;)

I find it hilarious how everyone used to accuse all of the "troublemakers" of being the V's. :D

carnation 07-17-2003 01:00 PM

Not all, Dionysus. Believe me, as soon as some of your alter egos popped up, the mods were onto you and later we got more sophisticated at identifying certain trolls. But maybe you can tell us where the fun is in "trolling"...frankly, I don't find any fun in upsetting people.

And Chrissy3912! What a loser! And guess which recent poster she sounds exactly like--big attitude and all!

PM_Mama00 07-17-2003 01:20 PM

Chrissy is short for Cristina.

Carnation... I freakin love you! "I don't even care anymore" or something of that sort. You seriously are the shit!
