I think CloverfieldClues.com is on the right track.

This thread should be tagged [RANT] at least. To me it appears to be a flame of the bulk of the forum membership.

As should all of your posts.

Your masonic beliefs about the Statue of Liberty were irrelevant to that particular discussion so the posting of the trolling entry was a valid move.

There is no communistic conspiracy to silence the differing opinions of the membership, there's only the move to get rid of the conspiracy theories which have been peddled by a select collection of the membership.


Just because you DISAGREE with what I said does not make it irrelevant.
What I said about the Statue of Liberty was in fact very relevant - and more importantly, it was a response to someone else's comment which you did not say was irrelevant. That means you are incorrect for saying that I was trolling. Actually, the only thing going on is that you want everyone to only post what you believe and what you want to talk about and what you want to see. Sorry, life doesn't work that way so you might as well get over yourself real quick.


It was irrelevant. That topic was discussing (at the time), the particulars of the french site background. You brought up the 'Statue of Liberty - A Masonic Icon' discussion which was irrelevant to the discussion, not to mention written in a tone that was surely done to provoke people. That discussion is going to be even more irrelevant if that topic becomes devoted to discussing any differences in any of the other international trailer pages.

As a supplemental comment, the Edit button is your friend.

Please strop trying to justify random statements as a 'personal opinion', an opinion is something along the lines of "I disagree because I personally believe-", a statement, which you've made, is "Third, here's a history lesson about the Statue of Liberty because apparently Americans don't know the truth."


You didn't seem to have any problem with anyone else stating THEIR "facts" about the SOL, which means that you are making your comments based on personal opinion - and now, on bias.


Theirs weren't presented as absolute, unquestionable fact.

This is nothing more than a rant from someone with a perceived belief that everyone is out to get them. I second the motion to tag the title with a 'RANT' tag and to let this slip into the forum basement.

Quote:
The YerATroll:

YerATrolls are those whining forumites who devote a tremendous amount of time and energy complaining about the tremendous amount of time an energy expended by Troll Bashers and Angry Forumites on the practice of troll-hunting. A self-righteous and hypocritical breed, YerATrolls spend all their time pointing fingers at everyone but trolls, petulantly demanding that their opinions be granted the significance the YerATroll believes they deserve.

YerATrolls often start threads excoriating others for troll-hunting, all the while completely oblivious to the fact that they're engaging in trolling by picking fights with everyone else. One of the most ill-tempered of troll species, YerATrolls are characterized by a childish need for attention disguised as cynical nobility and pretensions of being "above it all."


DING DING DING! We have a winner!

 		I think trolling is actually the act of bashing someone for their opinions and then playing the innocent one when the victim responds to it.

And you're bashing people who bash trolls, and you're playing innocent, and we're responding.

What more do you want?

Well, since everyone is inventing their own definitions, I guess yours is as good as the next.

Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't know that all threads had to meet your approval and serve a purpose that is suitable to your wants and needs.


are you seriously trying to be an ass? all i said was this thread is not contributing to the ARG at all.

In you're most recent posts, you have acted extremely rude and immature to the posters on this website.

It's getting to the point that i laugh at everything you post on this website because honestly your post are either A) dont make sense B) are irrelevant C) extremely rude or whinning that someone is bashing on you. Rolling Eyes

In the beginning you were a good poster and i hope you decide to go back to that and stop being an ass all the time.

Ok im done ranting ( which is what this thread should be label as) but i havent said anything about hmg's attitude because i didnt want to be a dick but after reading this thread i had to say something.

The general definition of a troll is: a forum participant who posts for one or both of two reasons: 1) to disrupt; 2) to gain attention.

Sound familiar?

Apparently you have chosen one that doesn't include yourself.
