What's your definition of a troll? I went and looked it up to see if it had
changed in fifteen years and it hadn't. It's a regular, who contributes
nothing, never learns to stop replying, and never leaves.

Look at your last seven posts: 6 complaints, 1 useful.

Now I'm being forced to become at troll. Perhaps you became a troll over
time and just didn't realize it. Take a look in the mirror.

Encore! Encore!

I think you got his number.

You're right. I just couldn't resist the "Trolls R Us" bit. :-(

Please try harder. :-|

You are assuming that trying to get people to follow topicality and
posting conventions is not useful.

You are the one trying to get a group to change it's long standing
conventions with the only person supporting your position being a self
acknowledged troll.

*plonk*.

Then Rod sensibly stated:

I think he also assumes that 2+2 = 4.

And all of those arguing against him are self-acknowledged Nazis.

BTW, best working definition of troll here: Someone who disagrees with the
dominant orthodoxy. See also "heretic".

Sounds kinda like you.

Incorrect. On my server, keith has posted seven articles since 02:03
today, every single one containing informative text.

By the way you missed a attribute. A troll also posts inflammatory
messages with the express intent of provoking people.

That sounds like you too.

Nonsense. But see below.

You have to understand, Rod, that these guys really have no life outside
maintaining this stupid little ng in their image. Really, something to be
pitied. In any case, they're never going to give an inch.

The diagnosis of Asperger's is, of course, likely to be dead-on for many,
if not most, of them.

 

[Rod Pemberton]

Incorrect.

No, Correct. Now, I'm dealing with someone who can't read or tell time.
What does _last_ mean to you? Also, if you take the 30 posts prior to the
last 6 before I posted, you'll only find 1 useful in that group. So, 2
useful, 37 complaints.

On my server, keith has posted seven articles since 02:03

I see that. That's good. It appears one troll took the truth to heart.
Now, we just need to work over you, CBFalconer, and Flash Gordon.

Wow, from you? Amazing. You haven't posted one thing related to any form
of C for the past six months on any of the newsgroups you spam.

Sorry, you're a troll too. How about a troll hug?

Profound. Very profound. I hadn't thought of Asperger's. But, I was just
about to pull out the DSM-IV to see if I could properly classify a few
people. There are a number of tell tale signs of severe psychological
problems with the people we've been arguing with. I'm especially worried
about Keith Thompson (not CBFalconer). He shows some very rare and
disturbing traits which I'm not going into in this forum.

Can it, please. Think a moment about what you are doing,
apart from increasing you n/s ratio to Kenny's.
Then think of a better way to reach your goals.

Expressing genuine concern for your well-being is "abuse"???

They sure do have some funny definitions here in clc...

I don't know where you looked it up, but Wikipedia's definition is
pretty good:

"In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts rude or
offensive messages on the Internet, such as on online discussion
forums, to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants."

Definition of troll: See above. You and Kenny will be forever together
in my killfile. Have fun.

 

[lovecreatesbeauty]

Then this (my) post can be considered to be trolled by most of its
participants, right?

 

[Kenny McCormack]

pretty good:

"In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts rude or
offensive messages on the Internet, such as on online discussion
forums, to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants."

But, but, but.

1) I thought the "experts" around here all consider Wikipedia to be
unreliable and not usable to support one's arguments. Hence, quoting
from it makes you look like an, um, er, troll.

2) That definition (above) certainly doesn't agree with the classical
definition (c. 1990), which is the one I stick to. Effectively, with
all the pollution on the Internet now, the definition of troll has been
reduced to "someone who disagrees with me" (or, "someone who bothers me").

 

[Mark McIntyre]

No, Correct.

FYI I pulled Keith's last seven posts off my server. All seven were
topical, helpful and to the point.

Now, I'm dealing with someone who can't read or tell time.

Playing with yourself again Rod?

What does _last_ mean to you?

most recent.

I see that. That's good. It appears one troll took the truth to heart.

Where? I don't see any change in your behaviour.
