flyinghonu 0 #26 January 4, 2006 QuoteTrolls need to "get a life"..............but it may be too late for some Trolling is their life. I find it funny how many DZ.commers get all pissed and worked up about the trolls and their posts but these same pissed off DZ.commers post on the troll threads, PM the trolls, etc. HELLO??? You do realize that by doing that, you are only feeding their clinical need for attention? Not to mention, the troll is getting a serious rise out of you which makes the troll all the more happy. Used to get pissed, now I ignore (except for this post ), works pretty well. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alienangel 0 #27 January 4, 2006 QuoteWell, as long as its in the bonfire or speakers corner I dont care 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. AA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #29 January 4, 2006 I stand by my original comment. Whilst reading in the bonfire about salad tossing, wanking, porn, whether people should take their pills or not or what the football scores are, im really not concerned if they are telling the truth or not. It even says when you go in. Look at the pic... That says to me, take your sense of humour with you on the way in and take it all with a pinch of salt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alienangel 0 #32 January 4, 2006 QuoteTrolls have my support Flyangel - little lady - don't you realise the damage that can be done by these idiots? The internet was surely created for something better than this?! You may laugh as the forums become riddled with pathetic attempts to 'entertain', to arouse, the provoke... but shouldn't we be asking - at what cost? DZ.com is no place for the so-called 'humor' of this type. It is our home - and we should keep our house clean, and safe. These idiots make me sick.

If you don't feed it the troll it will go away, going off the deep end by calling them names and demanding they be banned just feeds them more than you think. A troll is reading your post and wanking his ego full stroke because of your reactions. Yes, as useful as the genuine and serious discussion of the "real dot-commers". 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. Unless of course you (i.e. the person reading the thread) is so close minded that to think outside the box is paramount to sacrilege. Trolls do serve a purpose, at times they are annoying little twits who are as useless at tits on a fish, other times they force you to use your mind (unless it's rusted shut).The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

McDuck 0 #47 January 5, 2006 I started to write a short story as if from a troll's point of view, but I had an over-abundance of personal material.

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'? Quotecalling 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. QuoteIf 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'?
