Different strokes for different folks.
Hence the different boards.

Which you seem unable to grasp.

what's the point in calling him a cunt?
it's just a waste of time, he's not going anywhere until he wants to

I'm going to a festival this weekend.
I'll be out of their hair for four whole days. With luck, they'll calm down enough for their voices to drop to a human-audible register.

Yeah right.
China owns everything. You're just renting until they turf you out to make space for the yellow race.

I'm not expecting him to
and the point of calling him a cunt is two-fold:
1) he is a cunt
2)it passes the time, like all the pointless banter on here ans is mildly entertaining.
I'm lived on internet message boards far nastier than even /talk for far far too long to take trolls seriously, and on the troll scale he's not even all that nasty.

Does nobody know the difference between flaming and trolling any more?

hehe, nice work, quixote
you totally trolled the troll
(, Wed 20 Jul 2011, 21:31, Reply)
Yes. That's exactly what just happened.
It totally wasn't an example of somebody not knowing what a troll is while making a bravado post about their internet cojones.

oh dear
OK, I'll rise to it.

to quote your earlier linked WIkipedia artical: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response"

this is clearly what you are doing, not totally without success.

as for internet cojones, not really, I'd claim some experience with far worse than you, enough not to get wound up, but no more.

Again, I must agree with Herr Docktor Fuckwit
I didn't troll him, I'm not trying to make him angry or wind him up.

you're point?
OK, the two terms have gotten rather conflated of late, but I'd argue coming over here to be a tit constitutes fairly gentle trolling and you chosen method is indiscriminate flaming. it might actually be worth while if "I raped your mother today" was not a perfectly acceptable replacement for "good morning" on even the fluffy parts of b3ta.

We all now that's not going to happen.
And I'm hardly going to leave after eight years because a couple of blue-namers have had a whimper at me.

I am aware of what he's trying to do.
I just wish he was funny with it. At least Rory can be witty with his wind ups.
