Yeah, I agree. And I've played a role in empowering them by responding and reacting to their trolls.
I know that Jason and Colton want to allow everyone to say what they want to say and not try to brand posters with unpopular views as trolls and ban them, but some posters are just trolls and they are not good for the health of this forum.
I have a hard time ignoring them, but I'm making a new effort to not respond to the trolls. Primarily Boris, who is 100% troll. There is really no way a reasonable person could see Boris as anything other than a troll.
Dutch is an actual Jazz fan as far as I know, but he should be more regularly penalized for his troll behavior in the GD forum.
I wonder if there could be a requirement that you have to participate in the Jazz forum in order to participate in the GD forum?
Don't think we've ever had a troll like Boris. Just look at any thread in GD. A couple of real discussion posts, followed by Boris hijacking the thread. Every ****ing thread!
Most of my time on the forum is now spent scrolling thru ignored posts and responses to ignored posts. It reminds me of my last days on USENET.
Pretty sure most of us have known this for years.
I will make you a deal.
Stop stroking yerself off an brandishing yer verbal weapon an I will axe fer a moderator ban.
Forum ruined is a personalized construct. Something YOU decide. You know what ruins the forum for me? Do you even care? Maybe its jackasses being jackasses to other posters. Maybe it's normies turning this place into a political hellhole incapable of any reasonable discussion. Maybe it is the stupidity of Jazz Gans pushing the relentlessly wrong bulldhit ofvthe young kids are earthquake creation MVP candidates.
You want to complain incessantly here as you do? Complain about posters like [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION] [MENTION=295]RJF[/MENTION] @cappy smurf etc who seem convicted of a regulatory regime voice police bein the best form of thought control cause that is what you are doing as a SJW thought policeofficer.
I won't post here anymore cause you have such a huge problem with me. Peace be upon you.

The very first comment in this thread stated "but climate change isn't real, right?". Well, one third of Americans believe global warming is a hoax, and plenty of non Americans probably agree, but I don't know the % overall in the developed world who think it's a hoax.
But if 1/3 of Americans believe global warming is a hoax, how does this thread develop without hearing opinions dissing global warming and in particular global warming caused by human activity?
I think it's the subject matter of the threads. Any thread that involves highly divisive issues are going to hear both sides. And one side is promulgating fake news and phony narratives to bolster its positions on those divisive issues. Which are bound to seem troll like to people more interested in what the truth of the matter is on any given issue.
When Sean Spicer walked into the briefing room and told the assembled reporters that Trump's inauguration crowd was the largest in history, was he not in fact trolling the entire room? This administration has been trolling the American public from day one.
The GD section will be like a microcosm of America when the subject matter of the thread involve issues and people dividing Americans. Trump, and that percentage of his base that amounts to a cult of personality, have weaponized fake news and spew it wherever and whenever they can. In that respect, from that point of view, they are all trolls.
The first post asked that question sarcastically. But that's neither here nor there. I was annoyed that you're giving a fake poster so much attention, but I probably shouldn't have singled you out. Nonetheless, Boris is a fake poster, and not simply a troll. He started posting a couple of years ago as a Russian (thus the name Boris), with a fake Russian accent and all, and a thorough knowledge of every poster on this forum. He then changed his character a few times. I think he's a black kid from Baltimore now or something? I've had him on ignore for a while, so I'm not sure.
You can do whatever you wish. Maybe you think there's value to what you're saying even if the person you're arguing with is insincere. But you should know that he IS insincere. He is wasting your time on purpose for his personal entertainment.
A possible identity for the poster known as Boris was suggested to me and it really seems to fit. I know Ron Mexico believes it is Trout, but I've always had a hard time accepting that. The only clue I'm going to say in the open is that it is very likely that Boris is a female.

PearlWatson? That makes sense I guess.
I looked at the member list earlier today, sorted by join date, and it only shows members with 10 or more posts. Page one is 30 names long, and the last one is OVER a year old, and one of them is you, obviously NOT a new poster. Trolls drive people out.
