Okay, this whole "full of Awesome and Win" and/or "Fail and AIDS" has got to end.

Every sitcom ever made just called, it wants its rebuttal back.

The 4 year old. He's been... liquidated.

You are just too immature to employ the only thing that works with 100% certainty to end your being subjected to his uncreative potshots. Ignore.

But you are too egotistical to be able to not know what he might be saying about you. And too prideful to read and let it go without response.

So we all get to be subjected to your equally uninspiring attempts to be just like him.

Que sera sera.

Perhaps she can direct us to a post where she did, in fact, use her very best. For comparison's sake.

You guys are all poopsockin'

Thus why she remains at the lowest state of being.

Thank you, Lisa. At least you've finally come out and said it instead of dancing around it.

Bottom line: You like trolls. You don't like people deflecting trolls.

Thank you for finally admitting it.

You aren't deflecting them. You're feeding them. You're giving them what they want.

And all three of you are pooping in your socks.

Ewwww

Some of us know what a poop sock is actually used for...Namely, smacking your enemies and covering them with poo.

'Tis true Garamet. I give you all the props for this on the Troll front. Even after all the most vile and hateful personal stuff they say about you, you're the first one to hold out your hand in friendship when they say something reasonable....only to either be ignored or have it slapped away.

Good for You on that!

...but you can't resist the bait.

And I know how you feel about ignoring shit aimed at you. I admire you for it. But I could be as big of a hardass as you, only I don't give a big enough shit about it as to do it.

Either way...

Checkmate.

For those who don't know, poopsocking is a term that originated in reference to diehard World of Warcraft players, who as the rumours go will defecate into a sock rather than leaving the game for a couple of minutes to go to the toilet.

So he has criticised others for following silly internet memes, then a few posts later repeatedly done it himself.

While also managing to use the term incorrectly.

So while I agree the phrase is overused, we cannot disagree that we have managed to find a poster entirely full of fail.

Interesting theory. When they give up, go troll someone else, leave, or get one of the grownups to tell them to knock it off, I suppose that's purely coincidental.

What can you expect from people who think the solution to roaches in the kitchen is "just ignore them"?

Powa INSISTED upon bringing poop socks into the discussion.

Your analogy kind of sucks.

Trolls feed on attention, so a much better analogy is to stop putting food out for the damn roaches in your kitchen.

Considering how much time I've spent deflecting trolls, you should know better than that.

I don't give a fuck about trolling. I simply don't care if people troll.

You whine about Sokar's trolling. It obviously bothers you. If you truly wanted the bother to end you would put him on ignore. Instead, you act just like him and then try to claim some sort of intellectual high ground that does not exsist.

Sokar has already won, and did a long time ago. The reason he is so damn smug is because he knows it. He won when you became him and that happened awhile ago.

You can spin and spin and spin and call me names and try to ludicrously compare me to every unsavory person you can conjure up, but it won't change a thing.

Stop the madness!

Ah, so you can deflect trolls; I can't. Got it.

So when you do it, it's deflecting. When I do it, it's "whining." Got it.

You realize stupid preeteen came up with the term "butthurt" as well, right?

That being said, as someone who brought the phrase over here, I've long since grown sick of it being in every third thread title.

Pssst.

Trolling is allowed in the Red Room.

The roaches can stay in the kitchen if they want to. But we have some lovely roach-free rooms that way and a nice personal can of raid available if a particular roach starts nibbling the flesh too much.

So the answer is: If you don't want to be trolled, run away and hide out in the nice, safe fora. Got it.

Or quit giving them a nice big cake in the middle of the kitchen floor to nibble on.

You, however, choose option C) engage them, then complain when they keep on.

This puts you at about their level.

What is your solution?

You don't do what I do.

You bitch and moan and whine and do that same kinds of repetitive, aggravating behaviors they do thinking it will work and it does not.

The way you respond to them feeds them and encourages them to continue.

Of course I am wasting my breath as you will believe this is some conspiracy against poor, victimized garamet and particularly in my case the evil, power-hungry troll abusing my position to marginilize your valiant and clearly victorious battles against the trollish hordes.

Whatever.

You know where the ignore button is. If you won't use it, then it's because you enjoy being a troll too...and more power to you, it can be hella fun, but stop thinking you fool anyone that yours is a morally superior position.

Do continue.

Your analogy is flawed. I'm not a cake.

IIRC, I started one thread in the Help Desk asking - not complaining - if there was a policy to cope with a poster repeatedly dogging a mod. That was well over a year ago.

Unless you're equating any action I take against them as "complaining," in which case you need a larger vocabulary.

I find it particularly ironic that Gunforge's attitude to this one behavior is "just ignore them."
