Do some posters come just to pi$$ off other posters?

I have noticed that some boardies just seem to go around upsetting people with negative crap and arguing all the time.

I have mentioned it to boardsies that I know in the flesh and they agree.

Does anyone else notice it and if so what the feck is wrong with these fecking gob$h!te$?

They're called trolls or wums.

No you're the only one.

Close Thread.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

Haters gonna hate.

TanG411 · 21-01-2011 07:32PM

Usually trolls or thankswhores are the main problem.

That'll be the trolls. Ignore them and they'll go away. Try not to feed them.

Yep, they're trolls and they say/do anything to get a rise out of people or just annoy them. An example being this

jackie1974 · 21-01-2011 07:35PM

I love trolls, I wish I could adopt one. I mean you have to admit they are very funny :pac: I don't think forums would be the same without them. Have a sense of humour or hit the ignore button. :cool:

Screaminmidget · 21-01-2011 07:36PM

I honestly thought this was a trolling forum.

Who are these 'boardies' Sherlock?

Name them or get off the pewter!

Brenireland · 21-01-2011 07:44PM

a trolls a troll

Spunge · 21-01-2011 07:44PM

Trolling is a art

phasers · 21-01-2011 07:54PM

In my day trolling meant something.

donmeister · 21-01-2011 07:57PM

The more subtle a troll is, the better the trolling!

Seriously, were you just born?

These people exist in real life as well, they're just more prevalent on the internet due to the anonymity.

Smyth · 21-01-2011 08:05PM

It's people like you OP that make me greatful that I'm an aethist. The very notion of God is a pathetic and infantile one. And to answer your question. Yes I do think abortions should be legalised. It's the choice of the woman. The man doesn't deserve a say.

Vote Fianna Fail.

citizen_p · 21-01-2011 08:08PM

i find it interesting that somone would even bother to trol (are they like the little guys with the hair i got in cereal years ago?) others, like get a life and make somoe friends instead of trying to fool people on the internet

HERE is an interesting link in regard to the subject being disscussed.

citizen_p · 21-01-2011 08:17PM

i hate trolls, they ruin the internet and all seem to stem from one or two disguting sites, 4cang etc... that IMO should be shut down, we started this a few monthsa ago and it got a great following from facebook etc... but is under regular attack from sites like 4 chen.

here's a relevant story:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/01/21/pearlman.online.civility/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

Matthew is a college student from a small suburban town in Missouri. He loves the Kansas City Chiefs and spending Sundays in front of the TV watching football (actually hand egg but they for some reason call it football).

Recently, in response to something I wrote on my blog about Jeff Bagwell and the Baseball Hall of Fame, Matt tweeted me a couple of times.

The words were snarky and snide and rude. His final message, however, left an extra special impression: "I got caught up in the anonymity of the internet. I'm sorry and here is a legit post with my criticisms." Upon opening the pasted link, I was greeted by a nasty pornographic image that would make Sasha Grey vomit into the nearest trash can.

When I later noted to Matt, via Twitter, that my 7-year-old daughter happened to be next to me when I clicked on the picture, he wrote: "lmao. You're so full of ----."

snip
(then the writer tracked down the critic)
Then we spoke. And I (dammit) liked him. Without invisibility or the support of his 54 Twitter followers or the superhuman powers supplied by a warm keyboard, Matt was meek and apologetic. "I was just trying to get a rise out of you," he said. "You're a known sports writer, and I thought it was cool. That's all. I never meant for it to reach this point."

Sadly, Matt's online behavior is far from an anomaly. Anyone who writes or is written about is now a potential target for abuse. Online civility -- it if ever existed -- has withered up and died. And it's only getting worse.

Orim · 21-01-2011 08:36PM

There's been studies about this type of behaviour.

Final Conclusion is neatly summed up here

Do some posters come just to pi$$ off other posters?
