Every blog/forum has at least one troublemaker. They are the ones who generally need to be the center of attention or a "know-it-all”. They are the ones that are always right and everyone else is wrong. Their only defense is to call posters names, curse, talk like a child or character, or pretend to be family within the given situation. They try to sway opinions by bullying and threats.
An Internet "troll” is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.
Troublermakers often change their screen names, sometimes creating an alter-ego to fight. They may change the name but the writing and the messages are always the same.
The spitfire: Mild volcanic erruptions bashing who they feel needs it. When done, they are done and expect everyone else to follow suit. They act as if they are the administrator/moderator but enjoys being in the middle of the fire when it is suited.Troublemakers can be anyone on the blog/forum. They hide behind their computer and spew insinuations or accusations without naming names. It is playing the old game "I know something that you don't know”. I say, Grow Up!The Pucker Upper: We have a better name for them but I will be somewhat nice. They are the ones that claim to be new, never posted before. Rant that the site is a nice place and ask questions they already know the answer to. Reminds me of childhood days in school, the one that wants to sit in the front of the class and become the teacher's pet.
The Terminator: Expects their last word to end it all. They post on every topic and continue to post a comment after every other poster.
The Show-Off: This is the one that will post anything to get attention. It may be a joke or talk in jibberish just to get a response from others. They usually don't like someone else getting the attention so they "better up” to get the attention back on them.
The Play Innocent: They will belittle posters in their posts. When they are confronted, they act like they don't know what anyone is talking about. Probably one of those co-workers you love to hate. They belittle you or start trouble and when you confront them, they are loud enough for a boss to hear and act innocent so it comes back on you as the troublemaker.
The Hide 'n Seek: They will either post an attention getter or start a feud and never post again. After starting a fight, they may apologize but they are right back to the feuding. Beware, they may be the one that emails or notifies the moderator. Some will post a comment that would be newsworthy, if true, but they make their visit short and sweet and leave others guessing.
Are you dodging the question?
Did you bother to read their posts, stevie honey?
I didn't think so. I guess you're also part of NS's clown posse.
Ignoring it, actually. In your reply 76 you seemed miffed that I pinged you to this discussion and I assumed you wanted me to leave you alone. But since not, what exactly are you looking for? You expecting me to challenge you to something or other? Track you down so we can have it out, that sort of thing?
Welcome to cowboyway’s sh*t list. The role is long, but distinguished, and we’re thinking of having tee-shirts made.
Meh. I’ve been accused of being a troll by bigger and better.
But not by more obnoxious, I assure you.
Ar u series?
I'm not surprised.
Getting chummy with girls like NS will get you tagged as a notorious liar, as well.
Q: Why did you ping me?
A: Because you were trolling for an argument.
But, that's what trolls do..................
Track you down so we can have it out, that sort of thing?
Is that a threat?
N-S;
You are a thread hijacker of the worse kind. EVERY CW thread posted on FR is hijacked by you and your ilk, constitutional Federalist trolls.
Sorry but constitutional Federalist troll was not one of the six choices listed above. Try again.
Come on, thread hijacking is your favorite tactic. Serious secession threads are always being hijacked by you - in particular.
You term anyone who comes along and pokes holes in your southron myths as a hijacker. Your problem is that you want everyone to swallow your line and agree with you. And when people don't, and give good, solid, valid reasons for disagreeing, you and your buddies call them trolls and accuse them of hijacking the thread. Well if what you're looking for is a site where you can post any anti-Lincoln, anti-U.S., pro-Confederate crap you want and have everyone there grunt and scratch and agree with you 100% then I can point you to a few.
Have your love fest Lincoln is God thread. I won’t hijack it. You are to vain to realize what I am saying.
No, I know what you're saying. You just want the love-fest to Lee and Davis and Jackson and all the other leaders of your rebellion. You want no dissent to their adoration. And you want unquestioned adherence to the correctness of the Southern cause. And you're miffed that you don't get it. And deep down you know I'm right in my description of your reaction to anyone who doesn't see the Southern rebellion your way.
LOL. You don't just make a comment, you try to dominate like the fascist you really are.
Fascist. Troll. Statist. Y'all just love to name-call, don't you?
I'll just call you a "Yankee", that seems to cover all the bases.
Calling it like we see it, troll.
(Ref: post#90)
If it talks like a fascist/troll/statist yankee and smells like a fascist/troll/statist yankee.............
