I confess: I really LOVE to 'out' trolls!! Am I sick? |
|
You ever have a day where they're coming out of the woodwork, and it gets to be too much fun -- so much so that you find yourself looking for more? Like it becomes a sport?
Mind you, I never break the rules by accusing them of being trolls. But it's just SO easy to get them to "out" themselves... And the next thing you know, the welcome tombstone arrives...
Sometimes it's even more fun when the mods let them stay a little while.
Am I sick?
If so, are you?

4. Sometimes yes... Sometimes no. |
|
Today I'm guessing that this might get locked. Troll baiting and troll outing (and discussing it publicly) are generally frowned upon and most moderators will just remind you to click alert instead of outing them publicly.

I'm speaking generically, not about any one in particular.
But apologies in advance if I'm not supposed to do that!

5. Eh, sometimes the locked threads in the lounge are the best ones. |
|
Heidi locked a sex thread last night and even the lock was funny.

Although I must admit that the post & hide trolls piss me off. They post some moronic shit then they never respond to the rebuttals they've recieved.

7. I was chasing the same one you were. |

My best use of the search option so far. Found each of the troll's 7 or so posts and responded to them, without calling them a troll. Just reasoned and informed responses to their idiocy.
And yes, it was fun!

9. I usually doubt myself when I start thinking someone is one. |
|
It must be the liberal side of me, I always want to think the best of people. I just sit back and watch you guys tear them apart.

11. They seem to get active at about 11:00pm or after. |

Sometimes the tombstone can't come fast enough if it's a particularly nasty one. And yea...I'm sick too. :D

13. Not so much outing trolls... |

As just calling assholes on their shit, troll or not. I take immense joy in it.
