I can sort of see your point, but unfortunately many of the people who wrote amusing stories have left because... well, we've all heard this story many times. And its fair to say that if someone linked to a story they thought was amusing and said 'hey look at this' the trolls would be all over them. But when its a troll that does it its suddenly ok.

What makes Brayndedd a troll?
The definition of 'troll' on here appears to be 'a person from another b3ta board who isn't in our little qotw clique and doesn't play by our unwritten rules'.

qotw doesn't belong to the half dozen white knights who wander around approving and disapproving of stories and making creepy comments to any poster who might be a girl. It's a section of a public website with 80 odd thousand members. Many of whom have been here for longer than qotw and certainly for longer than it has been a threaded messageboard rather than just a suggestion box for a radio show.

Yeah, you're right. Its obvious now you've pointed it out. Silly me. White knights, cliques, approving/disapproving. It all makes sense when you say it like that.

Why does that make you silly?
And how does it answer my question as to why Brayndedd is a troll?

Why are you being defensive?
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:25, closed)

It was sarcasm... you claim there is a clique, but you guys follow each other around like flies. You claim we approve/disapprove but the very post in question is a post overt approval on a scale rarely seen on qotw (click i like this and post a comment in the replies is the normal procedure). And you want qotw to go back to its roots of amusing stories but there are several posters who just cant resist posting negative comments in response to any post that doesnt fit their narrow approval criteria (as opposed to skipping to the next post) - I dont direct this next comment at your per se, but if you want funnier posts on qotw, stop ripping the shit out of other peoples contributions. that way more people will contribute and hopefully there will be more posts you approve of. As for Brayndedd being a troll, ok, try another word if that suits you better, but I include him in that clique of posters who regularly post non constructive negative comments.

Yeah, I know you wont agree, and I know your mates will come to your defense and try to belittle me, but you asked so there it is. I'll leave you to it now as my fish is getting cold.

toodles.

I was being entirely serious.
Sorry.

And in case you haven't noticed, both myself and Brayndedd did comment on that funny anecdote. And on the unexpected horse anecdote. In fact, I think I have commented positively on every single funny anecdote this week. All three or four of them.

As I said: I don't understand why you're acting so defensive and I still don't know what makes Brayndedd a troll here.

Enjoy your fish.

I've said my piece. No point carrying on about it.

The fish was lovely thanks.

Fair enough.
You're not going to retract your 'troll' comment though, are you?

He's going to need to learn what it means first.
