Perhaps I've seen the pain and hurt you have, care to compare scars?


I'll ignore that juveline taunt and assume perhaps there's a little bit of a troll in all of us - or at least, in you? You don't seriously expect me to rise to your so-called 'challenge'?

calling them names and demanding they be banned just feeds them more than you think



You innocence is laughably sweet. I have communicated with so-called 'trolls' in the past and have found a firm stand to be the only thing they respect. They are scum, and should be treated as such.

If you go thru and read the forums and posts by trolls to your precious threads you'll find that at times the post from a troll will force you to think outside the box.



Yes - threads ARE precious. As we all are, as precious members of this precious sport. DZ.com is a precious history of our communications as skydivers of the world through the years a memory box, as it were - to taint what we say to one another, as equals, is akin to daubing spray paint grafitti on a Monet.

People - we need to think this through.

Or perhaps you would care to elaborate on this so-called 'box' you believe trolls help you 'think outside'?

other times they force you to use your mind (unless it's rusted shut).



Insult and rudery have the same place in my heart as do trolls - they do not belong on dz.com, as those of us who go way back know. :|

Your naivety is breath-taking. It is precisely these forums that attract new-comers. Trolls confuse people and disrupt topics of discussion, leaving us all wondering, 'What is real?' Tolerance is weakness, people - alligning yourself with these twisted miscreants is a shallow and thinly-veiled attempt to gild yourself with the associated 'cool' of the rebel 'troll'. It's pathetic.

Think before you post. Trolls cause more harm than any amount of 'amusement' could make up for.

Brilliant....:P If only this crop of post-whoring newbies knew...:ph34r:

And rl: sorry, but Aa's just got married to some groupie. You snooze, you loose! :P;)



Everybody needs a fallback position. If the husband doesn't work out, she still has me.

I studied history.



That's really nice young man...but... what's your name again?



He's trolling for more AA posts; don't discourage him. If this example was a day brightener; even higher quality would light up the world.

rl, it disturbs me that they assume that my contempt for them == trolling [:/]

Maybe you could explain it.



No matter what I explain, I'm going to be in trouble with someone somewhere. :D

And that would be okay, except that the single PMS symptom with which I am afflicted is dandelion brain, and if you blew on me right now, I'd scatter.

I haven't got it in me, Alex, not this morning. You'll have to do it yourself.

P.S. It's really disturbing that you just tried to troll me.

eh?

WTF is with the troll bullshit? (in general).

And no dear, I wasnt trolling you.



I define trolling as "trying to get a rise out of someone."

Others define it differently.
