VANITY: Troll Hunting Season
11.15.2010 | Me, myself, and I

Posted on 11/15/2010 2:36:11 PM PST by Third Person

I know, I know, another vanity, but...

I've been lurking here since '03, [and signed up in '08] and I can't remember another time when so many trolls were on FR.

Am I off here, or or is FR directly over the target?

BTW MOD, DON'T ZOT ME!

That's interesting to know. I wondered why the mormons here were so cranky.

I'm not a mormon, and I think their theology is nuts ... but that's not the point. I noticed a pattern ... threads with a somewhat inflammatory title, labeled "(LDS-Open)". I finally started looking at them, out of curiosity ... Every thread was posted by somebody apparently looking to denigrate some aspect of mormon theology or history. I hardly ever see one posted by a mormon.

Catholic threads are about evenly mixed ... half posted by Catholics who want to discuss some event or bit of theology, and half posted by a small group of non-Catholics for reasons about which I will not openly speculate.

It’s all over FR, and it’s been going on for weeks. It’s a war, baby!

I’m quite anti-mormonism, yet several of my friends are quite strong mormons. We just don’t talk about it. We reach a point in religious discussions where we agree to disagree.

Oh and BTW- I do not read the catholic threads ever, I just tire of seeing them in the morning one after the other. The posters are strange.

>>Wow ... how generous of you ...<<

Don’t worry. I don’t think they care. And I am merely stating an opinion. And it is always possible that I could be wrong. I dunno, maybe their prayers to Mary DO make them non-Christian.

Hey ab, I also get to voice my thoughts

I never said otherwise, Dear Heart ...

Chill.

And the Catholic threads wouldn’t be so bad

They're bad, eh? Who has that pistol pointed at your head, forcing you to read them?

Oh, right.

Nobody does.

ROFL!!!!

I posted one link above, and someone else posted a link earlier than that.

Two main threads currently. Zotting still happening, one a little while ago.

Don’t worry. I don’t think they care.

They may even have doubts about whether you qualify as Christian ... who gets to define the term? I'm sure you have a definition ... no doubt they do, as well. Both you and they claim the title.

“Trolls” is actually an old net term from w-a-y back, where people troll threads throwing out inflammatory rhetoric hoping to snag people into a flame war.

Some people get off on that kind of thing.

It’s one thing for a flame war, or argument to naturally progress of a disagreement, but thee are those who go around trying to create it. And it gets tiresome and disruptive.

Because he’s made quite a few replies to people - some zotted, some warned. And he posted this:

"How can you even know that?"

How can I even know what?
