Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
It's funny...I just noticed there are so many now...that they are creating topics...taking the counter point...agreeing...then the troll that made the counter point comes around to the way of thinking of the first troll.
So the board that we loved so much has been stolen away and become a virtual fairy tale NOTICE to AGENTS....TROLLS....and THIEVES This will end soon Some things are worth fighting for...... |

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
I think taking the counter-point is more like disagreeing than trolling.

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
I think you are missing my point....It's the whole ideological cycle
Troll1 makes Point Troll2 Make Counter Point Troll1 "convinces" Troll2 Troll2 accepts Original Point which all just part of the the clown cycle.....Welcome to Avalon Circus Grab some popcorn...this is gonna get FUN!!! |

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
Thinking about this more, you may have stumbled on a problem with internet forums and people in general.
I think most people enter a debate with a mindset of: "I am RIGHT and I need to CONVINCE the other person/people to MY way of thinking." When a more intellectually honest way to approach it would be... "I THINK I am right, but I would like to FIND OUT whether or not my THINKING is correct" |

One or more persons to continue the subject going...in hope of dragging as much bystanders as possible with them. There is a simple solution to this - do not feed the trolls. Open mind is like a sack of dirty laundry - you never know what dangers are inside but the smell speaks for itself. have fun |

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
It is obvious to me that basic psychology is quite evident here. The tactics used by these very very basic trolls is so easily spotted and Stargazer has found a great way to express it.
i agree , many things are worth fighting for... This forum is a thorn in some peoples side... and they wish to distrupt its natural flow of love. Love here...is NOT a dirty word. it is not used lightly eighter. It also has little to do with New Age belief... it is all about love for humanity.. Our frustration level towards these trolls is only there because of our love for them...if we did not love...we would not care. To any...agents...trolls and thieves....know that you are loved ...but you might never be forgiven. Tread carefully with our hearts |

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
Just to clarify, with a little help from wiki..
a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community such as ours, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. There are numerous examples of this in recent days here. On a personal note: I disagree with what's probably a majority of people here on what the future holds and what is real and what's new-age make believe. I use an old school way of thinking in these cases, If i have nothing positive to add then I say nothing. Nothing is gained by shooting down another persons ideas or concepts of reality. Peace

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
Ok...perhaps bully is the better term.
bullies infuriate me...all they want is theire perspective to be the focus... it has no place here and i am gratefully the Mods see it that way. |

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
It seems odd to me that for a member base that seems to be so love-oriented, there seems to be some vitriol (by some) for new or returning remembers who don't toe the majority line in here.

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
Why is there yet another thread complaining about this problem? Is this really solving anything other than continuing to keep it in peoples minds and further the negative energies of this forum?

Re: Agents...Trolls....and Thieves
I have to come to accept troll/agents/provocateurs as both highly entertaining and yet terribly sad to watch them in action.
Entertaining......because I get a laugh out of their antics. They put a lot of effort and energy into their work. Sad because it gives me opportunity to study the obvious neurosis of such a disturbed mind & a tormented soul, coupled with the notion that they can actually break our spirit. This will never happen..... |

Wow... I really don't know what you were referring too. I was asking an honest question there. Still am too. The only member I think I've poked at was New Age Messiah and nothing bad i consider, maybe busting balls little- and to his credit he didn't see to be affected one bit. I'm not 'baiting' you. I really am just asking you, with the exception of the members who are already banned, could you give me an example or two of these attacks that you say are continuing? Just trying to determine if maybe what you consider an attack is not what others or myself do, just so we are on the same page. I hope you consider this a reasonable request. |

I am genuinely trying to get to the root of the issue with you, or at least determine what it is. And you are being uncooperative. If you don't want any solutions or understanding, fine. Then don't complain about it. Unless that is just what you want to do. I am trying to work with you, but you are making it difficult. I don't know how else to ask you. |
