On Guard for Thee Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 There is no debate when it comes to the CBC, and I will continue to hammer the point home as often as I please. Ditto other topics without regard to other members' excitable sensitivities. There is nothing special about Canada or Canadians in this regard, just as some here think it is open season on 'murica and other nations. Youre right, there is no debate on CBC, you lose,move on.

Bob Macadoo Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Bob. Just because a poster has a different view from your does equal a troll. Perhaps you don't really understand what a troll is. A troll is a member who posts content meant to inflame and get an emotional response. If you get upset by a member posting within the rules then that's on you not them. Perhaps you'd prefer a site that only has your flavour of politic instead. Then you wouldn't need to listen to alternate opinions which would upset you. Food for thought. Not this time or any IP Clone..... Quote
The_Squid Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 You are right. Its just that you get it so F***ing wrong each and every time. Ergo boges 'CBC is "state controlled" is not a debate point it's to excite cyber or eyeball.' Don't forget the $450 million that state and federal USA govt's give to PBS. But that's different...

Bob Macadoo Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 That's what he's doing...Not quite. He tries to cover for his placed trolls. It's the insulting part.The person you're replying to is the worst of these. Absolute venom to the point you expect he would commit violence if he could find the people he's snarling at. It's why he's he sole occupant of my ignore list.Is that me, as I couldn't track the dialogue. It read like you meant me but you replied.....it was confusing. I thought my vitriol level was in the "orange range" only. Quote
Argus Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Not quite. He tries to cover for his placed trolls. It's the insulting part. Is BC a troll? No. BC can speak intelligently and knowledgeably on a number of subjects and does so fairly frequently. Can BC troll and bait and be freaking annoying? Youbetcha. He used to be the sole occupant of my ignore list for that reason. But now I guess I'm just more tolerant. I just go "Meh" most of the time when he gets into his act. It's not something that generally bugs me. And I do get what the moderators mean when they say to just ignore it. When he's ignored it's over. When someone latches onto something he's said the back and forth can go on for pages. Is that me, as I couldn't track the dialogue. It read like you meant me but you replied.....it was confusing. I thought my vitriol level was in the "orange range" only. Your vitriol level is pretty high at times, but no, I wasn't speaking of you.

Your description of him is the definition of a troll. I easily roll with him......it's the attention whoring he does that I have to scroll through that kills interest......for me and many others.

eyeball Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Ergo boges 'CBC is "state controlled" is not a debate point it's to excite cyber or eyeball.'Now what did I do? Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
jbg Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Guys, Enough. Take your personal conversation to the personal messaging service. Ch. A. Unfortunately, you are mistaken. The majority do NOT agree on trolling. Some of the worst trolls have their personal messaging disabled and when called out on it say "if you want a friend buy a dog." Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
jbg Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 What is it that is supposed to be seen as problematic? *******I think you folks would all be best served by suggesting and rallying for other kinds of improvements to the discussion forum, rather than just whining about "trolls". I have a problem with allegedly "civil" posters who spend their days bashing Canada. Just as I don't like my country bashed I don't like Canada bashed.

WestCoastRunner Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Just in the last several days, BC2004 hasn't responded once to you, all the while, you insult him (which is against the forum rules)......likewise, your off-topic exchange with Argus several days prior, which resulted in CA issuing a collective warning.......what exactly are you doing? Like they say about those that live in glass houses......... It would seem, as pointed out by the site moderator, if you have issues with members Argus and BC2004 you should ignore them.......like they, and many others, often do with you. Sounds more like you are obsessed with OGFT and anyone who responds to him. Kinda like when you wanted to report him to the RCMP. Are you monitoring the responses to his posts? It seems like you have issues with OGFT. Why don't you ignore posts between you and OGFT?

WestCoastRunner Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Now what did I do? Heh, you respond with your honest no bs thoughts. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
Derek 2.0 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 That's fine, but I don't need CA in here taking a shit on my ice cream and calling it sprinkles. If you aren't going to do anything but tell us we're crazy STFU and moderate. He must think these trolls are good for traffic. You kinda made my point though........posters go.....not really come anymore......yet there he is with his shit eating grin. Oh I agree, people lose interest and come and go (or go for good)......such is life, if though for example, a member left because of posts by BC2004, when not for him they would have stayed, I would question why the ignore feature wasn't used.

WestCoastRunner Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 BC's posts infiltrate almost every thread on this forum with his trolling poisonious bs. I have complained many times how his posts seem to drive this forum and the mods don't seem to notice. How many times do the mods need to receive complaints before they take action? 1000, 2000, 10,000? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

Are you monitoring the responses to his posts? It seems like you have issues with OGFT. Why don't you ignore posts between you and OGFT? Far from it, I ignore the vast majority of the member's posts (likewise several other members), namely due to lack of interest in both their contributions and/or no desire to converse on the given topical thread, with topics I have interest in, I will often converse with most....inversely, said member (or anyone else) is free to ignore my posts. As the site moderator has said numerous times, ignore it and report it.....really simple concept. Quote

As already pointed out, I hardly respond to said member, likewise other members that respond to his posts, in threads that I don't read and/or don't participate in......... Quote

Derek 2.0 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Your past posts speak for themselves. No need for me to justify it. Which past posts are you speaking of? You have no need to justify anything, but then some might judge your posts to be baseless. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 You are right. It's just a hunch. Indeed, as you said above, you feel no need to justify things........hats off on the honesty though. Quote

Most of your posts with OGFT clearly have a biased 'attack' methodology towards him. But I am sure he doesn't need me to address your attacks. He can defend himself.
