Charles Anthony Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Consider addressing the issue for a different audience. You've been defeated over and over again. You're just completely ignorant to it.Would you consider re-hashing or "defeating" him again for the umpteenth+1th time for the sake of other readers who may be keenly following your discussion and interested in learning your truth? Is it more important to express your unseen victory? than to share your truth-which-brings-about-your-victory with a wider audience. Trolls troll. Until they troll, they're not trolls. We can't prerecognize trolls but sometimes we can.There is nothing particularly interesting about most trolls. Trolling is not the worst thing a member can do. Be that as it may, I find it peculiar to see how people choose to respond to what they perceive to be trolling. While it was comical to watch another poster unravel, confess to numerous personas on this forum and then go on to post degrading comments on the status updates, I find it confusing that Charles noted that 'our posts were deleted if we chose to respond to trolls'. Well, if everyone knew this person was a troll including the mods, why wasn't he/she banned. Instead they were left to post freely and it was up to members to determine if this was a troll or not.Relax. We slept in that day.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Relax. We slept in that day. Well, thank you for your respectful response to a highly valued member (of course I am assuming that everyone here is a highly valued member).

Is it more important to express your unseen victory? than to share your truth-which-brings-about-your-victory with a wider audience. Addressing the same old issues to different audiences mean that we need more members (ie a wider audience). I have suggested ways to do this but it is simply being ignored.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 There is nothing particularly interesting about most trolls. Trolling is not the worst thing a member can do. The point I was trying to make was that you indicated that our posts were deleted because we chose to respond to a 'troll'. However you forget that I didn't know this person was a troll nor did OGFT probably know. All we knew was that this member was speaking out of his/her ass. So, I decided to try to determine if this person was in fact a troll. I truly had no idea. In the end, this troll came out and confessed to posing as 'socialist' and other members here. We actually did you a favour in 'outing' this member. And in the end, you banned this member. Did we not do your job for you? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I see that Socialist is posting under the status updates. I do recall that capn canada said that he has posted under the persona of 'socialist'. WTF is going on. Where is the credibility of this forum? Not to mention that Capn Canada aka Socialist, directed comments to me 'west coast c...t'. under the status updates. Why is socialist continuing to post here?

I wasnt sure he or she was a troll but I eventually did do a post that was at least an attempt at being conciliatory because I honestly thought I perceived distress. Wasnt too long after that that the lid blew off and the nasty comments were sent out. In any case lets hope that is done. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 The point I was trying to make was that you indicated that our posts were deleted because we chose to respond to a 'troll'. Troll describes a person (in extreme cases) but also the trolling post itself. At a certain point, posts are clearly ridiculous/insulting/trolling and it's better to report/ignore. Did we not do your job for you? It's everybody's "job" to keep the forum functional.

Usually some say HI before they throw out the 'why do you hate teachers' line. I'm there to debate. Sorry I made you look silly during our last session. You were another one accusing me of being someone else. I guess that ship has sailed so you need new excuses to try and get me banned. I'm flattered. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

You seem to be on a tirade instead of the educator that you portray. Why would Capn Canada confess to impersonating you and Merlin? What would be in it for him/her?

Seeing how I'm a different person than Cap. Canada, your question is impossible for m to answer. Earlier this week Captain Canada and I were in live chat together. Gosthacked was there. Charles Anthony was there too. Take your baseless accusations to another forum. There is no need for that kind of gutter trash here. Maybe you should admit that you are WRONG.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I don't understand why we can't have a category for 'women in politics, science etc'. There is no denying we are strongly under-represented in these domains and why not do what we can to draw attention to it? Why not shine a light on this as a separate section/issue on this forum? What can it hurt? And let's see if we can get increased membership (our google rankings will be increased when we mention these keywords in our sub-headings). Quite frankly, we have the same members arguing the same issues over and over again. Let's try and introduce new feedback. And let's get the other female members on board with this suggestion. If they don't agree, then ok. I'm speaking for naught. Edited February 22, 2015 by WestCoastRunner Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Why do we need one? Women and men should have conversations together. Right. Read my posts above. It's about drawing in new members. I agree, we absolutely need conversations together, but until we can draw in new female members, it ain't happening.

WestCoastRunner Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) That is just simply not true. Where do you get that from? Opinions posted here? I have seen posters express that sentiment over and over again here on this forum. Women represent 50% of the voting population, so let's try and represent them in all avenues that we can including political forums in whatever way we can. Until we can get past these men who hold the keys to the administrative rights to these forums, there is not much we can do.
