Members Opa John Posted October 9, 2012 Members Share Posted October 9, 2012 I find it a little depressing that there are actually some sick minded people out there who have nothing better to do. At one time, I think it would've surprised me a little........but, not anymore. Sometimes I feel like I've seen and heard it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bax Burgess Posted October 9, 2012 Members Share Posted October 9, 2012 At a 3D site there was one gainfully employed member with a quality portfolio, who soloed constantly in pissing contests. We were on reasonable terms, so I finally asked him how he had the energy for it day after day. He said that it relaxed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bad Robot Posted October 9, 2012 Members Share Posted October 9, 2012 Pathetic sociopath, with no life and has nothing better to do. I suppose it is better than serial murdering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jamesp Posted October 9, 2012 Members Share Posted October 9, 2012 Let's put it to the floor: Is Tom trolling? I say, yes, he's trolling to get a rise out of FF. To what end I have no idea, but clearly ther's more (and yet, less) to this than an innocent internet PSA. Come up with something about music and try again, Tom. Some suggestions: Can Trolls make Good Music? Are Love Songs a Form of Trolling? Is Protest Music still Dead? Do Trolls think Martins are Overrated?

Do Trolls think Martins are Overrated? No...I was actually thinking of the grammar cop who showed up last week. And why would I want to get a rise out of french fries? I love french fries.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 Fret Fiend's "story" is an old comedy bit...possibly originated by Henny Goodman, but it may even date back to Vaudeville days.So, essentially, FF was doing a classic "cover", not an "original", to put it in musician terms. And a pretty funny one, at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarist21 Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 This is sort of OT from the original topic of the thread and I know, I know, don't feed the trolls and all that. But I found this interesting, somewhat relevant, and current: http://gawker.com/5950981/unmasking-reddits-violentacrez-the-biggest-troll-on-the-web EDIT: and just to preempt it getting to this point - I don't mean to compare anyone to this guy. Just thought it was an interesting look into the personality of a much more controversial troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
