Due to censorship by Argo the thread is locked but it is interesting to see a major Anti Amiga Inc webmaster turn in to a Genesi attacker and a certain website defender.

Hi Sammy,
Thanks for that. I know I've tried this before and it quickly fell apart. One thing it did achieve was it showed that most of us are willing to live together politely and it identified several individuals who openly admitted that they wanted no part of a peaceful co-existance. It was handy to know who the "good" guys were and who the real trolls are.
The word troll is overused. People who start a thread which may upset the other side are called "trolls". This isn't true. If someone starts a thread, but is prepared to logically debate it and even admit they might be mistaken then there is no way it is "trolling". Trolling is where someone tries to start a deliberate fight or provoke a deliberate negative response. We need to know who these people are and just ignore them. They "get off" on the anger directed at them. Debating with them is pointless as they're not interested in opinions or facts. Ignore them and they'll go somewhere else to "get high".
And then there are some of us that just need to say, "fine, I disagree, but that's my last word on the subject" before they wear out another keyboard debating a obscure point with Alkis using 500+ comments ;-) Just kidding :-) |
