Members drano Posted June 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by Fret Wire Man http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm Well, Mr. Campbell is probably right about the function of a troll but he's got his linguistics fouled-up. A "troll" is not the person doing the posting. The "troll" is the post itself. The expression does not come from those little blow-molded plastic dolls with the giant heads of hair like from the 60's. The expression comes from the fisherman's technique of hanging a lure out on a fixed-length line from a fishing boat and letting the motor do the work of activating the lure as it is pulled through the water, thereby attracting fish, which inevitably respond to the lure and are caught when the hook is set. This saves the fisherman the laborious grind of repeatedly casting the lure out and reeling it in by hand in order to keep the lure active to attract fish. This lazier and much more pleasant technique is called "trolling". It has nothing to do with trolls. But, pissing people off is definitely not my motive. I seem to be accomplishing my mission. And I seem to be pissing some people off. But that is purely a side-effect. If somebody is pissed off at me it's because they take offense easily and they have made some unnecessary assuptions about me. What the hell am I supposed to do about that?

Well sorta. I mean for instance, he went after you, not me so no biggie. But he could easily call my trolliness and offtopicness into question. But he's got 122 posts overall. And he's been here a year. I have more on topic posts in the lsat month, just fx related, not mentioning guitars and amps, than he has in his entire posting career. I don't blame him for that. Nor is it good I spend so much time here. It's simply saying that someone else isn't particularly in a position yet to insult. Remember when Magic Johnson got HIV? And all these {censored}ing goober chess club dorks were going "well..he shouldn't have been cheating on his wife" And they had a point. However, I notice hot ass bitches weren't lined up at their doorstep every freakin' night of the week begging and pleading just to let themselves rub their privates up on his kneecap. After you've been here a while, established yourself, gotten to know some people, even met a few of them outside of the forum, find people you have things in common with, it's a lot easier to veer off topic.

No its that people don't like new people coming in to a group and throwing their weight around. Doesn't bother me, though. You won't be her long enough to see 1000 posts.

Members Thelonius Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Well, the best of us have to bump sometimes. I did notice a couple of OCD threads though. Perhaps one of the reasons they didn't get answered (I know this is a pisspoor excuse, as an fx forum we should do better to people who may be brand new or out of town, etc) is that last week I believe, actually in the last few weeks there have been assloads upon assloads of OCD threads. One after another. Granted yours may have brought up new points/questions, but maybe people see OCD and go "oh boy not this again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor is it good I spend so much time here. It's simply saying that someone else isn't particularly in a position yet to insult. You probably do have more posts in a month than I do period. I've probably built and modded more pedals than you've played in the last year. What's either have to do with anything? I don't mind OT, but pretty much stay on topic because I don't spend all my time on the internet. Anyways, I think the sub 100 thing was directed at me, not Drano. I wasn't insulting Drano, just pointing out what I felt he was doing. But, if everyones fears about MF is true, you will all have low post counts soon.

Believe it or not, Thelonius, I was with ya on EVERYTHING you posted today until that little (collective) self-delusion. Face it. That's not how internet message boards work. I registered. I posted. That's it. If the guy paying for the server wants to delete my threads or my posts or boot me altogether he can do that. But until then a poster is poster is a poster in the real internet.
