So just by posting that makes one a troll now?

..just do what all the other conformists do out here. go to McDonalds..get a new neck tattoo and face bolt on the way home and then score sum medical marijuana because of your anxiety and pain after the new tats. All this will greatly elevate your conformity rating.

The fact that the thread has instantly become alkemyst says something about you. You go out of your way to piss people off, and pretend to have complete experience and knowledge in every single subject.

huh?

Like I have said and will say again, if I am wrong call me out on something. If I have to correct you, it's not my fault.

Maybe it's because you don't only post contrary opinions in almost every thread (that's fine) but you insist on being a contentious dick head every tiem you do it. Stop being such a fucking wanker and things might improve for you.

:laugh: MotF Bane said exactly what I was going to say.

The OP has poor communication skills and under some strange delusion that he knows it all.

No, by posting as a complete jerkass in roughly 100% of threads makes you a troll. But again, if you can't see it and it makes you angry, just stop posting.

I am not getting angry about it. I am wondering WHY. It's seems people like you do get angry though and I don't understand that. Why not just skip the thread or reply?

Well, you're wondering why, and pretty much every post in this thread is giving you a reason why...

The difference between disagreement and trolling is this:

If, when disagreeing, you would say what you are typing to someone's face, that's fine.

If you depend on the fact that you are anonymous to say hurtful, insulting things that would get you punched in the neck in real life...that's trolling.

So, disagree all you want.

I could really care less, but I am wondering if this is really the concensous here to just agree with the OP...
"Yet I just made a thread bitching about the exact thing that I'm not upset and could care less about".

edit: Oh, and your part about where people just flame you? That's usually in response to your own flame post.
Whether you always do that or not, you do it enough that most here perceive that to be your M.O. of posting, and IMO that is a correct perception.

You can almost taste the irony :)

Pac, what happens is the same dozen asshats keep posting identically...then others just buy in or think that way.

This is why it's my offer for anyone to just prove me wrong...they can't but still want to say I just make shit up.

There were two very critical parts of my life that gave me knowledge that I have. One, my education; which I am proud of. 7+ years of college where I took on those harder electives and took both of two options (or three at times). Two, some of my past; which I am not so proud of but which also drove me to complete #1.

I am opinionated, I am a pretty loose guy to hang out with. Smoke a blunt, enjoy sex, think pokemon is fun...I may not want a part of it, but you aren't hurting anyone...so be it.

However; don't steal...mislead, lie...etc. Don't think you should have everything your neighbor does 'just because'.

I post this here. I give an honest opinion usually backed by cold hard facts. I don't believe in sugar coating something because reality is what you get in the end.

It's getting old...if I really wanted to play the troll I'd relish in it. The problem is if I go tit for tat, someone goes and cries for help. It's crazy. The only time I have gone to the mods for backup on anything is where laws/major ethical issues were being broken and there was a frenzy buying into it. We don't need copycats out there.

The sad part to me is many of the people that are part of the attacks on me are those I flat out proved wrong not out of spite, but out of knowledge. Then instead of chalking it up to a new lesson learned or a better way to do something...they want to smite me out.
