Flame Warriors ~ View topic

Link.

Basically, it started out as a normal Deacon/Atheist war until "Joseph" drops a bomb on page 2.

Gotta love how Joseph makes it *painfully* obvious he's trolling and people still take the bait.

Seriously, if it was anymore obvious, he would have written "Oh, by the way, I'm totally trolling for responses" in his post.

I;m surprised noone tried to engage you by pointing out that the century with the highest number of atheists (the 20th in case anyone was curious) killed more people then every verifiably claimed religious conflict in history.

Of course, what I really worry about are the "atheists" with substitute gods.

But anyway Chaos, if these people are stupid enough to not know they were obviously trolled, then no, I wouldn't tell them at all.

Well, I mean,, you would think someone with two brain cells would get to this part:

"1.) Kill off all religious people (estimated approx. 4.2 billion of the Earth's population) or make them reject their religion. Using them as expendable labor or test subjects for medical and scientific purposes may be considered. "

And just go "Yeah riiiiiiight, troll" while rolling their eyes, but apparently no, these people did not.

But like you said, Yahoo comments usually don't have big thinkers.

The biggest problem of course, is that on the modern internet, the most insane opinions are the most noticable, as they're often the most repeated. I mean in reality, I know the majority of both religious and atheistic people I've met can easily go about their lives for decades in close proximity, sometimes without even having a clue in hell one or the other "plays for the other team" so to speak.

Fact is, so many people have repeated exactly such insane opions in all such seriousness, that the shock value for many people is gone completely. One needs to engage in a much more subtle, and involved form of trolling to accomplish much.

See, that's the kind of trolling I like/respect.

I much more go for a troll who's statements translate too:

a) Hmmm, is he or isn't he?

Rather then

b) Yeah, he's obviously looking for a response

Trolls who are extremely subtle about what they do usually suceed a lot more then what Chaos did in the thread he linked too.

Subtlety often works best when one has a few co-conspirators however; every trolling attempt in my opinion should have at least one designated "straight man".

I still think Chaos could get some more mileage out of this, but it might help to derail the comments to the intended subject a few times.

I don't understand it, I say all the time to kill people of large magnitudes. I even estimated (and didn't just pull a number out of my ass) that all "sexual deviants", (homosexuals, bisexuals, tranvestites, pedophiles, etc etc) would makeup about 50% of the U.S. population, which is about 15 million people. Which is also the amount of illegal mexicans that are in this country.

I then concluded if spics want a green card, they should get rid of the homos so we can have a higher standard of living without fags muckying things up. And whilest fifteen million people may seem like alot, it's only 0.5% of the world population, and still less the Stalin killed.

Noone butthurts over that. Infact, people don't say anything. Wholly I just go ignored. I mean yeah, I'm always saying crap like that. But then why do I get banned if they're used to it?

Jim, I think it's really time to stop with this satanist delusion. You're driving me insane. Your walls of text are so hard to read, tinged with hate for everyone and everything, and full of anime screengrabs what is that?

Wow, you're annoying.

Chopper, i'm thinking that is his intention.

Probably. No one's that annoying.

Either way, I don't have time for his jibba jabba.

You don't know what a long post is. If I wanted to make a long post, I'd make a topic.

One time I made a facebook post that had 25,000 characters. Trust me, I'm trying to dumb it down for you simpletons...

People have to admit defeat if they can't even be bothered to read my posts. Refusal to read means refusal to debate. The issue in question must just not mean that much to you if you can't even bother to read posts related to the discussion.

The anime pictures are for your convience. They exist to put less stress on your eyes when you read my text. It makes the post seem smaller as your eyes can relax and focus on the broader picture rather then having to accurately read paragraph to paragraph non-stop. And facebook does not allow hotlinked images, so you can immagine how difficult that was to read.

If you cannot have adult discourse, then maybe you should not argue in the firstplace. Your powers of strawman politics and halfass troll attempts will not work on me silly billy.

Exactly. I lose patience with his drivel halfway through the first paragraph. I enjoy reading a good, well thought out post once in a while but it needs subject matter and content. His mind-numbing keyboard vomit has neither.

I'm inclined to agree with both Kramer and Chopper Chuck. Jim, your skills at ranting are great, but eventually, your omnicidal rage wears on me. Seriously, I think your nihilism and rebelliousness is a tad overblown and reeks of a desire to be "edgy".

Jim literally fills out the trilogy of Darling Reagan and no hard feelings....trolls who try way to hard to get people riled up but have no substance and lose steam after a few days.

True, it was entertaining watching no hard feelings try so hard to get a rise out of people and fail, but with Darling Reagan, it was more of a "shaking of my head" feeling rather then being amused.

Well after I labeled Jim as a "Deep Thought" it didn't bother me not to read through their posts. Essentially I have a basic idea Jim is either misguided or trolling, and I don't really care enough to try and figure out which is which.

Glad to see you back and about irritus.
