So you thought I was lying when I already explained part of the context? I’m not the one who found himself in league with the shameless liars, remember.
They were discussing the myriad definitions of “trolling” in the context of how “trolls” should be treated, like I said. You know, the same shit you all should’ve done months ago? And I said Johnny also “admitted” to trolling the forum but his definition was so broad and vague that everybody is a troll. And I said that I agreed with Ked, though this was well before I was invited. This screenshot shows all that and I have no problem posting more as I get permission from the parties involved, but, I figured that was innocuous enough, but also info-loaded, to show without.
You thought I’d just randomly make some shit up so my Best Fren FORUM BFFs could win an internet fight?
But you all didn’t discus the myriad definitions of “trolling” in the context of how “trolls” should be treated, because,
there is no plain meaning of the word “troll(ing)” and that is precisely why you all are going HAM using it. It’s a loaded-language snarl-word designed to be an empty vessel. It’s linguistic question-begging designed to assign guilt without proof or definition. (See Marksman’s last post for just one example. He said we don’t need to agree on correct definitions of words. That’s pretty darn trollish itself!)
Basic textbook definitions piling the fuck up.
Maybe? Not everybody is a shameless liar.
A subforum like the half dozen that already exist here?
Who, Suzzer, Jman? You’re playing mighty fast and loose with that “we” here. Considering I’m in the middle of explaining this again, not sure what you want to hear. Does this example look like anything to you:
-
Replace “trolling” with “worst thing in the world (WTITW)”
-
Replace “Fidget” with “random anonymous person x (MrX)”
-
If I ask MrX what his definition of the WTITW is and MrX says “jaywalking”, and then later says “Oh man I did the WTITW”, we know MrX wasn’t actually “admitting” to doing the WTITW because he already said the WTITW is jaywalking, and we both know that isn’t the WTITW.
This is what Victoar meant when he kept saying “show me the trolling post” and the MENSA Meeting couldn’t even understand the request (until LG2, why he gets paid the big bux). He was saying to show him the actual WTITW, not what MrX thought was or for whatever reason labeled the WTITW. (sick unintentioanl callback to the theory-of-mind stuff)
Setting aside everything I’ve just said, if you want to extrapolate this hard (“this whole time” you had to have felt dirty typing that), I can’t stop you, but,
everybody who made an authoritative and definitive statement about the Top Secret PM without reading it (some proudly so!) was doing the most bad faith bullshit imaginable, and, like, AOFrantic just pretended he either couldn’t read at a fifth grade level or is psychotic after he got caught running his mouth, so maybe we should give one- or two-offs a pass? Empathy and forgiveness and shit.
Hm.
Ok.
And that didn’t give a Rhodes Scholar like you any pause huh?
