Argus attacks posters that disagree with him and often attaches negative adjectives to his replies while attacking same posters. As do you, constantly, and then whine when people return the favor. As to the person you are agreeing with, I put him on ignore because his posts were so often bitterly angry and filled with raging insults. And yet here you both are whining about me being mean...

GostHacked Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I classify most members here are nothing more than trolls. I'll include the mods in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was just pointing out that BC_chick's defence of Altai equally applies to you. But, cool. Pitch a fit. I'm the one who's bitterly angry and throwing around raging insults. I can matter of factly call your racist arguments trash without actually being angry about it. As I said before, I pity you; I don't get angry at you. If you're insulted by that, then that's your problem. You need to grow a pair and own your arguments.

Bob Macadoo Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I guess thread merger is in order. I thought if threads were a waste of time they would die of natural causes. Apparently they need help. Is there a correlation between thread traffic of a post and quantity of trolling? In other words are trolls trolling regardless of who is watching or is it performance to an audience? Are posters creeped on waiting for the moment for a troll ambush no matter the topic or is the troll hiding in rocks of certain topics waiting for the poster to swim by?

sharkman Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Without getting into a lot of detail, I"ll just give an "atta boy" to the mods for cleaning up the US politics section. It seems that many on the left have resorted to trolling WRT Trump and his presidency. Perhaps after another month goes by a more civil discourse will be possible.

cybercoma Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Right. Many on the left are trolling and bush_cheney2004 doesn't have tens of thousands of posts trolling in the US politics section? Give me a break. If they're going to allow shitposting, then shitposting they will get in response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Read the definition of trolling again. If you think a member is trolling, derailing or going off-topic then report it and I promise I will look at the report. It's actually surprising when I look that many of the complaints about people going off-topic are made by people who started the drift to begin with. I am, however, without memory the MOST when it comes to reports, ie. I don't remember what you did or didn't report in the past. That means I will look at each report as a fresh case. As ever, I thank all of you for your posts. I learn very much from the posters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC is incessant in his trolling of the US politics threads by continuously belittling and trying to stifle responses from Non US posters. It's immature and nauseating to read his troll posts over and over again without providing any kind of substance. Instead our posts get deleted trying to draw attention to it because if we report it, we have no idea on the outcome. We like to call it out in the thread to try and determine if it's an issue with other posters but instead our feedback to the thread is obliterated as if we don't even exist, as if we never responded to the thread. When our posts are deleted, it diminishes our value to this forum. You may think you are adding valuing by deleting them but instead you are pissing a lot of people off that can't be bothered reporting. Reporting doesn't give us feedback a lot of posters have left because of the trolling and we are left with alt right posters i suppose that's why MH became involved again We have lost intelligent posts I thank you MH for becoming involved again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialamah Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Gotta agree with WCR. BC's posts are a constant troll, adding nothing of value 90% of the time, apparently the whole goal of his posts is to annoy other posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several Canadian members of like minded and different political persuasions understand exactly what my role and purpose here is, and routinely exchange ideas and perspectives without being triggered. This is not a private club for a singular point of view and "immature" invectives directed in only one direction. In short, don't dish it out if you can't take it in return. Responding to "trolls" is also against forum rules ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 'brave and meaningful contribution' primarily consists of telling other posters they have no say in American politics (subtext: don't waste your time talking about it) pointless comments about JT, stupid comments about how Trump can do what he wants. You don't offer any thought or substance, just digs. So STFU about "thoughtful cross-border discourse", you have no interest in that at all.
