    I love it.

    Two identical threads. One in the Green Room, one in the Red Room.

    Neither can be moved.

    I couldn't help but notice they've stopped bumping it while they play the "we're above all this petty troll business" card.

    Absolutely. I wish you would say more about your art, and I think it's very brave of you to want to do so in the RR to indicate you have no fear of criticism. You have my complete support. :cool:

    Aren't you the guy who keeps pointing out that there's plenty of friendly political discussion in the RR? So it's not an oxymoron, then, is it?

    Didn't forget. Was just surprised you didn't remember.

    Let's see...Mewa's thread was about Sokar's hypothetical guitar. I believe every one of my posts in that thread was consistent with the topic and the spirit of the thread. I'll trust you to indicate where I ever took the thread off topic or posted something counter to its intent.

    QED. More *is* better.

    That is exactly why their 'request' should be ignored.

    Liet, 14thDoc and Garamet.

    All 3 of who have complained in this thread about the trolling.

    Is more really better if we have numerous identical threads in two different rooms?

    Does that mean we can start a media/iron/gold related thread in the Red Room, and request it not to be moved because we want to troll someone, and then start the SAME thread in the media/iron/gold rooms, and have a discussion about it without the flaming or trolling?

    Then by Azure's reasoning, you have attempted to derail the thread. :bergman:

    Liet, one of the biggest forces behind this, has never made a secret of his desire to twist the board into something different and this is just a part of his plan for a kinder, gentler, castrated WF.

    I'm not going to argue semantics with you....but constantly posting in a thread started to be a 'troll' against someone, doesn't exactly fortify your 'I didn't do anything' schtick.

    Your buddy Scorponik posted more that twice as many posts in that thread than I did.

    Scorp is not the one claiming that he doesn't like the trolling.

    Then again, neither are you....so ignore what I said. :)

    No. Sometimes it's high brow name calling and insult trading.

    All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

    Anyone remember the debate forum? Yeah, that worked out well.

    This will go down one of two ways.

    #1 - Some posters will post a handful of threads in The Green Room. Nobody will care. It'll reaffirm their opinion of the place and we will see some self-serving gloating about how nasty this place is, how no one wants to discuss a topic "rationally."

    #2 - Some posters will post a handful of threads in The Green Room. People will care, but some will slip up and get warnings and/or bans. It'll reaffirm their opinion of the place and we'll never see the PMs full of self-serving gloating about how they got finally managed to get other people banned.

    And in neither case will I, personally, especially care about the gloating. :shrug:

    Seriously. Is there some sort of prize involved in "My thread got more replies than yours did - I win!"?

    Are people's egos really that fragile?

    So, can we finally turn the tags off now? This is from the Green Room, five minutes ago:

    And until we finally turn the tags off, is this bullshit getting warned? We know you can see who's doing it.
