Please Don’t Feed the Troll | Arthritis Information

Feeding the troll is responding to or even aknowledging they're there.
These sad souls are so starved for attention they will do or say anything to get it. They believe they have nothing positive to offer for attention and are therefore gratuitously obnoxious and confrontational. Please do not encourage them by giving them any kind of attention. Trolls are a problem that if you ignore it, it goes away. So.....

Please don't feed the troll. Here we go again...isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

Wikipedia has a better definition:

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the singular intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.[1] Now I know what an internet troll is What in the world precipitated this?Well, I was hoping this forum could have this troll thread and not have it be polluted by personal attacks, insults, and drama (regardless of our feelings for one another). I though that maybe we could all pull together and maintain a harmonious forum without all this pointless and ugly finger pointing and fighting. But I guess for some people that kind of decorum is just not possible. Hopefully the rest of us can heed this message and deal with the troll problem that pops up periodically.

Blessed, my message to you is that if you really think I am a troll, perhaps you should ignore me, and anyone that agrees with you could do the same.
Gimpy - The ignore me request never worked for me. Good luck I know, Roxy, but I figured it was worth a try.

If you mean a thread that is constantly bumped to the top so people remember to 'play nice' - I'm all for that/

Bump.

Pip

Well, Pip, that was my intention, all right. I tried starting a "fresh" one so we could just bump a nice clean thread. (I tried a bunch of times, actually). But this one will have to do! Gimpy,

This thread is a perfect example of what a troll does (someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the singular intention of baiting users into an argumentative response).

The fact that you can't see that you are also guilty of this is beyond me. You are talking out both sides of your mouth. There was no reason to even post this thread other than to get something started.
maybe if we answer the trolls 3 questions he'll let us cross the bridge....Maybe Katie can answer the question of how much an african swallow weighsBlessed, I was unaware that post the definition of a word was a controversial message. Or that it was baiting.

Bump.

Pip

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

African or European?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Pip

What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite color? Red..no...green! AHHHHHHH!!!!

See, Blessed, you can play nice!

We are no longer the knights that say Ni...We are now the Knights Who Say 'Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv'

You son of a silly person...I blow my nose at you! I fart in your general direction!! Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam etc.It's just a flesh wound!!!

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of sh*t
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our shows are formidable, But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.

We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragma looooooot.
In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot,
I have to push the pram a lot.

What're you going to do? Bleed on me?

-I'm invincible!

OMG I REMEMBER....We were watching Jeff Dunham stand up DVD and they had the monty pyton reference....Come back...I'll bite your ankles!!!

You know what a great comedy DVD is? The Comedians of Comedy. I almost peed myself. It's Maria Bamford, Patton Oswold, Brian Posehn, and Zach Galfinakis (sp??) I LOVE Zach!youve gotta rent Jeff Dunhams 2 DVDs they are f-ing hysterical....DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTNever heard of it...I will have o check it out.

Do you like "Eddie Izzard"?
Eddie Izzard also makes me pee. I should rate comedians on the pee scale.....What shall we call our son so he does not get the sh*t kicked out of him at school? We shall call him Englebert Humperdinck! Yes, that'll work If you guys love a laugh, see Catherine Tate, an english comedienne, fantastic, especially her Old Mrs Taylor, looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, you think our peanut butter thread was bad, catch a load of Catherine, I LMAO every time I see it, see you guys, you are a riot!!!! Love Janie.

PS have a look at her on Youtube, she is so popular.
janiefx39421.8576967593Gimpy, Why don't you and Lorster ( Cheech and Chong of Ai ) stop with these inflamatory threads. Blessed is right. BY doing so you become the Troll. It's sad really since you also post helpful threads on RA subjects but you can't help yourself with your fixation on Lev. Post in your liberal thread all you want if the need arises. Flame away I know you will That's odd that you know that I'll flame you, 6T5, since, while I have
answered many of your posts I don't recall ever flaming you before. I may
have disagreed with you, but I don't think I've called you a name or
anything like that.

The difference between what I post and what a resident troll might post is
I don't post personal attacks on people. You may not like what I psot, but
that doesn't make me a troll. I'm certainly not posting it to get a response
from YOU. Sometimes I might answer a post personally, but I never, ever
start a personal exchange with our resident trolls. I really have no
interest in you or some other people on this forum and I'd just rather
mutually ignore each other, unlike you and some others who post endless
personal attacks and arguments. (I think you have a hard time actually
defending your stances so you have to regress to personal insults). I also
rarely call names and I try to stick to the issue.

It might (probably not) interest you to know that after all your little barbs
and juvenile taunts of me, I don't really have any respect left for your
opinion on these kinds of things, or anything else, anyway.

So, 6T5, if you think I'm a troll, then I suggest you ignore me, and we'll
both be happy!.Gimpy. I think the weed has affected your memory. You have called me names ( and apologized for it ) in the past. You certainly have attacked others here.So by your own defintion you are Troll. So be it. People like you just cannot help themselves. Deep down you just continue this juvenile crap time and time again. As I said sad since I know you have more to offer us all. You started this thread not me. I like your RA posts but not your Stoner antics..... Typical...first you call me Cheech and Chong, now it's the stoner thing. Guess that's my cue to point out you're a hypocrite. It's all so tired, 6T5, and nothing you haven't said before. Tell me, what exactly are you trying to achieve by starting this exchange? Do you even know?

What did you hope to achieve by starting the Troll thread. You were just starting Crap like you always do .

6t5, I stated my "mission statement" for this thread on the first page of this thread. This thread was all calmed down before YOU posted contentiously to me (and started your poat to me with an insult, I might point out). You try to deflect my relevant question in a clumsy attempt to turn it back on me. I contend it is YOU who are trying to "stir up crap" as you so colloquially put it. You are trolling and I will therefore now ignore you. "We stole countries! That's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Just sail halfway around the world, stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain." And they're going, "You can't claim us. We live here! There's five hundred million of us." "Do you have a flag?" "We don't need a bloody flag, this is our country you bastard!" "No flag, no country! You can't have one. That's the rules... that... I've just made up! And I'm backing it up with this gun... that was lent from the National Rifle Association."

Ah, Eddie. What a trip!

" All calmed down " Well if YOU had not started this CRAP We would not even be posting here Adios Troublemaker ,Go fight with Lev or Blessed or anybody else you hate

Cake or Death??? Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Anyone could answer that.
"Cake or death?"
"Eh, cake please."
"Very well! Give him cake!"
"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."
"You! Cake or death?"
Uh, cake for me, too, please."
"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"
"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."
"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"
"Well, I meant cake!"
"Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!" Cake or death?"� Hey now 6t5...don't send the troll my way! I'm busy playing with Katie. Sorry Blessed....My Bad. I don't have to send her. She will find a wayLMBO...u r such a hoot Katie...I have pee pee panties!!

LMAO @ Blessed! I know what I am getting here for Christmas!! It is something to help her not have pee pee panties. I mean with us around... she would be changing her panties every 3 seconds if we got to going good. Oh I know... then she would be talking to us from the turdlet

pee pee panties.... that makes me laugh everytime I read it. If I hang around threads y'all are on...I'll just have to get a catheter!!

joonie, you can get her one of those bedside toilets that way she can sit on it while shes on the computer talkin to us that way you can use the box for your daughters Nintendo DS hehehehee [QUOTE=kelsaysmommy]joonie, you can get her one of those bedside toilets that way she can sit on it while shes on the computer talkin to us that way you can use the box for your daughters Nintendo DS what?? I think thats a good idea for a Christmas gift...that way you dont have to do so many loads of panties

Man... Just how many pairs of panties do you own, Blessed? I mean... I only have enough under-roos to last maybe a week without washing, but can be more if you count my holey ones, and the ones that the washer stretched out, which are saved for when that time of the month rolls around and have a few to many "accidents".

I reiterate... I hate "monthly bills"!!! Please Calgon take my ovaries away LMAO!
