Anti-troll 101
Friday, January 24, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Dear members:
These are not cyber-war tactics (
)…these are just common sense/courtesy/decency type tactics that if properly deployed could do this forum a world of good:
When a troll starts a thread:
IGNORE IT. Don’t respond…it just PERPETUATES the thread no matter how good your intentions because you bring the ‘troll’ thread back up where it certainly doesn’t belong.
REPORT it: Rather than responding you can right click on the ‘mother thread’ link and save the link and forward it to an Administrator whom can remove the link if it’s repugnant or rude etc.
REMEMBER: A troll wants attention…ignore him…and he leaves…keep giving him a trail of crumbs and he’ll follow.
Follow?

A man should never be allowed to go shopping for dress shirts next door to a Retro-Concert-T-Shirt store alone.
"But baby the dress shirt was 50 bucks and I got a Pink Floyd and a Zepplin for 45!"

JOLT Cola !!
yeah, South Beach
for the most part when I go anywhere including meetings I wear cackies, boat shoes t-shirt and a short sleve print button up not buttoned. casual
.
I do have a closet full of suits, red ties with various vendor lapel pins in my tie clip tray. I do not miss them one bit, though I do miss picking locations for towers and engineering data communications links in places where there are no other means of doing it.
.
Climbing 300 feet up on a tower and clipping on, letting go and just hanging back into the air with your feet on a rung or handy steel strut is, neat

Communication is the key to human interaction. Jesus said if you have a problem with a fellow person, let them know.
Is hitting the back button or deleting an angry document follow those excellent guidlines?

Delicious, trolls generally have NOTHING to do with genuine communication and more to do with just wanting to stir up trouble and try to rile up folks etc. etc. etc....
Negative threads are different in that they are for the 'airing of honest grievances' and might need to be cleared up through 'communication' so that there aren't any misunderstandings.

I guess what I was trying to say is just this:
I've posted a few negative threads myself but not to "push buttons" as much as to genuinely clear things up or to try to gain a genuine understanding of a problem or situation at hand that was bothering me.
BUT…With “trolls”...they just want to start a fire that is based on groundless accusations at ‘best’ and usually just utter nonsense at worst…and then they sit back and watch everyone throw gasoline on it while they privately chuckle in childish, demonic glee. Just like today, somebody let loose an ugly worm and for what? It was pointless and ugly and nonsensically idiotic and trolls are the pretty much the same...

But schmoopy ....... a little 'Troll Kicking' removes stress and tension, relieves headache, backache and anything similar.
Who started that 'clothing for men' thing ...
Perhaps one on 'women and clothing' would be more to the point.

Iben, it's been happening to everyone trying to 'access' certain sites with sql database stuff but as you probably have seen you can access some sites without a problem.
In other words...it's not a problem with your own browser...
WC has a few hiccups but it should recover fine.

Angel_Wings admits that sometimes troll-butt kicking is a fun sport albeit pointless
