Would a "Troll Poll" sticky be useful?

    After the recent posts by a certain believer (obscure hint - G57!) I think it be worth referring any thread to a troll poll sticky first to see if its worth pursuing. This guy is either a professional troll, or severely imbalanced.

    G57: How do you know the sun is there?
    X: Look outside, then look up
    G57: But what happens if its cloudy
    X: Wait
    G57: ........prove it prove it
    X:??
    G57: I dont believe ther is a sun
    G57: So how do you know the moon is there?
    etc.
    etc.
    A person who asks, ignores and never answers isn't worth 100 responses per day.

    Also, it seems a bit easy to troll in this forum. A little bait and the responses queue up. Calm down. Calm down. (can't write with a scouse accent)

    Actually I'm just really worried he might be able convert me

    Gareth is so much fun, banning him would make baby jesus cry.

    I think Gar (I think we're friendly enough that I can call him that) should be made a mod of A&A.

    The mods of A&A will never ban G37 as he does more for Atheism than any of you could ever do.:pac:

    I say we make Gareth an honourary Atheist.

    that is unfortunately true although it was entertaining..he's an entertaining troll. For all the unsure atheists out there he's done them a great service, troll or not.

    FWIW, (and indeed, it's slightly OT), but I spent a long period of time utterly convinced that good ol' JC was just trolling the creationism thread for similar reasons.


    I quite admired his perseverance at it.

    Posters like the aforementioned are merely Atheist created propaganda tools created to make the religious people of the world look crazy.

    Creating a poll in such instances would give the wrong idea that this place is a democracy. ;)

    I for one welcome our new pseudo atheist mod... can't be any worse than the current mod :p


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,558 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dades


    In the Islam forum you'd lose your typing fingers for that remark!


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Somehow I think we'd both be in trouble now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭gramlab


    Fair enough - he is sort of fun to have around in a twisted kind of way.

    But looking for him to respond to your posts (in vain) and then jumping straight in and responding to his next pearl of wisdom only feeds his ego. Unless you plan to best him by giving him RSI that is?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭Pompey Magnus


    It wouldn't surprise me if Gareth is really an atheist and is just trying to show up religion for the nonsense it is. His exorcist posts have me almost convinced.
