Pretty much. But the main point is that compelling reaction for the ugliest stuff wouldn't be as likely to get bumped.

Re: The Troll Thread

Are we sure that Cry is a troll, and not just some sad and committed fundamentalist?

Re: The Troll Thread

I think he's a troll, his posts are too ridiculous even by evangelical standards. I'm not completely sure about ABR though, for a while I suspected he was a theist posing as an atheist, but I think he's more likely some 14 year old who just read "The God Dillusion" and has it all figured out.

In light of Poe's Law, how can you tell?

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe's_Law

To those who argue that anything is too ridiculous by evangelical standards, I would suggest that they lack experience with a sufficiently broad sample of evangelicals.

I'm not completely sure about ABR though, for a while I suspected he was a theist posing as an atheist, but I think he's more likely some 14 year old who just read "The God Dillusion" and has it all figured out.

No, he's not a child or even a young person. He's ArArArchStanton, a poster who's been here eleven years, having only recently shifted to a new identity (he had his posting history erased, and censured with too long a waiting time between posts), and who suffers from something in the autism spectrum, perhaps Asperger's, which is why he interacts so poorly with other posters. It can be said that he often posts at others, rather than having a personable discussion with them; he is somewhat socially challenged. Those who characterize him as a troll (unfairly, IMO) seem to do so simply because they find his posting style off-putting, and have had little success getting him to change it. I don't believe he can. For my own part, I accept him on his own terms; he does not bother me.

Re: The Troll Thread

I don't think he's a troll per se, but like 90% of the posters who debate, he does fall to trolling bluster when he hits some kind of wall. I think he believes what he posts (save when he does the bluster thing), but the other trollish aspect of his is that he frames nearly every op as a taunt.


I rebuke you Poisoned_Dragon in the name of Jesus the Christ!


edit: whoops, I meant ABR. Cryto seem like he could easily be sincere. Or not.

Re: The Troll Thread


Apparently, according to him, he's married, and get this. In a religious ceremony.

I noticed that too. Also he's an 'educator' with a university degree and he works in a hotel.

Re: The Troll Thread

Oh, yes.

Anytime his schtick stops getting attention, he suddenly ramps it up in insane leaps. And everything is geared to what he thinks will get attention. He's unable to discuss the topics he brings up, which doesn't speak to being committed.

All roads lead to truth if you're willing to travel honestly.

Re: The Troll Thread

I think I will withhold judgement on him. That might provide him with the pleasure of "fooling" me, but no matter whether he is real or fake it's still pathetic what he does, and I ceased engaging him several years ago. I'm mostly just warning newcomers about him now.

It's too easy to label someone as a troll whom appears, to your own perspective, to behave ridiculous and nonsensical. I'd love to label him that, but he might be real.
I'm relatively certain there are real people who mirror his exact behavior out there, by bringing up attention grabbing topics they are unable to support, just to get the message out.

Re: The Troll Thread

Fair enough. Defining 'troll' is going to happen individually and so is applying any definition. I figured I'd be quoted as a troll by someone here if this went ahead, though that wouldn't be because of an actual belief that I am. I just figured trying to impose a definition of 'troll' would be too much of its own conversation. I just picked two names that seems to be taken as such widely and have history enough here that they're generally known.

Re: The Troll Thread

...great idea!

On another note, the mostly benign "Food & Drink" board is currently over run by moronic trolls...very sad because the posters there are foodies without any bones to pick...

Re: The Troll Thread

Really? That sounds like a strange target, but I guess there are the ones with their little networks they can call out.

Take YMRYM used to be a fun sort of troll but now has become nasty in the last little while.

Unless they are different posters with similar monikers.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!!

There are two. The imposter troll has an extra 'i' or 't' in his name, as I recall.

I get that making sense isn't something you're used to, but you should try it.

And those aren't magic words. They work on you because they apply. But nice of you to demonstrate that you find them incisive.

Re: The Troll Thread

I was waiting for someone else to call jenny out first;... can you sense the dripping irony of her posting that on this thread?

God did not create man in his own image; man created god in his own image.

Re: The Troll Thread

How did I miss that? Maybe because irony tends to leak into everything he posts.

Just for clarity, it's a he. And using 'her' as a pejorative doesn't really sit great with me. Not that I think I'll stop it. Just making the point.

Re: The Troll Thread

At this point it's reflexive - I keep focusing on the last syllable of his ID-name, and in my mind I keep seeing a woman. I'll try to work on that.

God did not create man in his own image; man created god in his own image.

Re: The Troll Thread

Yeah, I figured it was either that or jumping on-board with the 'Jenny' nickname.

Finally an answer, and how clever of you PD to 'not notice' that he's been using she/her as a pejorative for weeks.

Awww, someone needs a nap.
Where is your evidence that any god, gods or supernatural being exists?

Trying to answer that - when there is no evidence - should render you sufficiently comatose until you're ready again to be metaphorically smacked upside the head by the harsh reality that you have no such evidence.

It's as if the mere state of being female is evil, bad and wrong.

I never began dodging any question.
But speaking of questions, how about you stop trying to put words in my mouth and answer the question that was put to you: where is your evidence that any god exists?

You're still showing your hysterical hatred of women by calling a man you fear 'she' and 'her" and you've still to tell me why you do it if it isn't misogyny?

Your unravelling is becoming comical.

Re: The Troll Thread

You're no less wrong now than the last 70 times you've tried to mischaracterize me as a misogynist - the term doesn't apply, so it is meaningless, no matter how much you stomp your feet wishing to make it so.

This increasingly infantile behavior of yours only becomes more humorous with each iteration. But please do continue; your downward psychological spiraling is most entertaining, as is your increasing apoplexia.

Are you so frustrated because you know you still have no evidence that any god exists that this is the only way you can sublimate your rage at your own inability to defend your false beliefs with evidence that would justify them?

You could ease your torment by just providing the evidence that your fictional little god character exists.

So where is your evidence?

You do have evidence for this, right?
So,....
Where is your evidence?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Troll Thread

Why are you so determined to refuse to justify your behaviour? Is it that you think DrunkProg is right, and that insulting men by calling them women is normal behaviour?
(I think heterosexual men would not do it, as it's not normal it's psychotic - or military and hence American).

Laws are silent in times of War - Cicero

Re: The Troll Thread

You're still not gaining any traction with these wild allegations - the more you try, the more desperate and foolish you appear and prove yourself to be.

You seem incapable of providing any evidence for your fictional little "Santa Claus for Adults" god character; as you have yet to provide any such tangible, credible evidence to warrant or justify your belief - or anyone else's - in this mythical being's actual existence.
That's no doubt because there is no such evidence, as this alleged being is nothing more than part of a fanciful yet badly written collection of contradictory and blatantly grotesque fairy-tales, with no evidence to prove the outrageously supernatural accounts within them.

Evidence must necessarily come before belief, because evidence is what belief is based on.

Therefore, if you expect belief in your claim that any god exists, there must first come credible evidence - from yourself or anyone else.

So where is your evidence?
Where is your evidence?

Re: The Troll Thread


2. Screeching is what you do.

Another drunken zinger.

Prog had passed 5 GCSEs, and moved to Germany a third time in that year.

So what? I don't give a monkeys about what you say you did. I don't know what your fantasies have told you, but my youngest was 9 years old in 1996.



and I'm younger than Sons 1 and 2

Impossible.


You and your siblings, you claimed

I never claimed that, you foul old pig. You made it all up, all of it. In a sane world the Admins here would realise that defamation of a poster's family could expose them to action and they'd shut you up. But this is not that sane world, and the Admins have established that they take notice only of certain men.Defamation actions are impossible under Bugtussle law.

Methinks you've made up almost everything about yourself

You make up lies about me. I have not said anything about my family or childhood on this board.


Laws are silent in times of War - Cicero

Re: The Troll Thread


Your claims are spread all over different forums. So not defamation.

So you say, but with no proof that excuse won't work, so yes, defamation.
Still you haven't to worry, PD and KoL have your back, and defamation is legal in the You Ess.

Re: The Troll Thread


You made a comment once about your son screeching about Striptease, about exploitation of women.

1. I didn't say anything about that on this board.
2. He didn't "screech". You boys screech, my family doesn't.
3. It's not "gay" it's feminist, so pretty much the opposite. At 15 or however old he was, he was still more intelligent than you are at .. whatever.

That, madame, strikes me as a very gay thing to come out with. What a sensitive, pathetic little girlyboy.

So intelligent and caring is gay to you? It's actually the opposite of what gay boys are.

But what does one expect, being raised by an evil harridan who probably tore the heads off Santa dolls in front of your kids

WTH is a "Santa doll"?

both nutjobs, one a drunk who landed himself in trouble with the police due to his gun collection, emergency backup in case the Soviets invaded.

Defamation, you foul old prick.

Oh and I didn't have foster parents, , much less 'religious' ones.

No need to apologise mate. Given she's called 99% of the men on here homosexual at one point or another, it could have been anyone.
