pirate Re: Can you spot a troll?

Usually anyone who opposes the 'Agenda' is accused/labelled a Troll..
This is a phenomenon that has appeared over the last couple of years from a certain politically biased group of members who have abused and attempted to ridicule anyone who goes against their biases..
Maybe when they cry Troll they should look in the mirror.

Re: Can you spot a troll?

The CF Rules, actually have a definition of trolling:
Quote:
... Trolling and cyberstalking are NOT allowed and are grounds for account restriction or banishment.
Trolling on this board includes posting controversial and often irrelevant or off-topic messages with the intention of (or anticipated result of) baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal, harmonious on-topic discussion, especially when a pattern of such posting is apparent ...

Troll- Anyone who's opinion differs from those who regulate/censor the conversation.

Often guilty.. with the strikes and bans to prove it..
One thing I've noticed in life.. its always the bullies who cry foul..
That's how they survive, most of the bullied are afraid to fight back.

Ok. Assuming that I that I agree with the definition, why would that not include Gord posting public relations articles about "climate change?" Because some people think it’s not controversial? Or because one doesn’t expect any response except servile agreement?

NB. I might disagree with the stated positions, and make opposing arguments, but that doesn’t make either of us a troll.

Re: Can you spot a troll?

After a time-out I was able to turn it around and play nicely. (Not that I did anything wrong) Unfortunately that means posting in a fashion acceptable to the gods.
