RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION: PROTECT YOUR USERNAME!

@house of leaves

I told people to grow up and stop taking things so personally, and then proceeded to not take your comment personally. Pointing out your hypocrisy is not the same as taking it personally. But if you want to nit pick, telling me to fuck myself is an attack, regardless of whether or not I feel hurt by it.

As for the forum guidelines thread, you summed it up nicely: I was illegitimately moderated and complained about it, but the details are all on that thread if anyone is still interested, and as I said before, that thread also shows that admin acknowledges that this site is nsfw etc.

You guys and trolls are two sides of the same coin.

“but you should be familiar with what this site goes through to know you’re taking a risk, don’t be naive.”

Fucking hell, what are you on about, taking a risk being on a film forum? Visiting a film forum is a risk? Are you seriously comparing nude film stills to full on spunk in the face porn? Jesus Christ your a moron. And no I didn’t read it, I don’t tend to read links from people like yourself.
We’ll “continue to be hypocritical, hyper-sensitive, pompous, self-important, and naive” and you can continue being, what, a sensible, mature, intellectual and just plain awesome human being?

And all this “mild troll” stuff is just dumb, it’s like saying a murderer is only mild if he hasn’t done a bit of necrophilia. Making over 15 posts of loads and loads of nasty porno in every thread on the front page, hijacking peoples accounts and persisting to do it over and over again is the worst trolling I have experienced.

Allan, read the Times article and then realize everything wrong about your last post.

I propose (formally purpose) a RUS, Johnson and Dim steel cage match

I propose using “propose” instead of “purpose.”

But yeah, a sort of head to head matchup something-or-other would be a fun addition to the site. Not sure what it would be. The Internet kinda defeats the merits of a trivia match, but some kind of MUBI contest would be fun. The prize could be credits. That’s as much thought on the subject that I’m gonna bother with.

Thanks, RUS for catching the typo I appreciate it, you may be most most favorite jackhole on here. And No, I mean a true steel cage death match on some island, or just make it Survivor and instead of being voted off, you are killed.

I read the article it was interesting. Fortuny and Weev, why didn’t Fincher make a movie about them? Would have been a lot more interesting. :):)

“buy a helmet” easy to say

the thing is, with the green hair theory, there is only a very few fully actualised humans who do not have chinks in their armour

(interestingly, Fortuny included, as evidenced by his ultimate own soul searching as to why he trolls so cruelly and grief over his parents and abuse)

so the collective seething mass of humanity of forums is never ever gong to be impervious to trolls. Weev actually actively hates bloggers who he sees as retards pretending they are participating in life and he wants to kill forums full stop – along with most of earth’s inhabitants (sometimes I;’ve thought that too)…..

I myself have been challenged to ask myself a lot of questions about my own reactions to some terrible showdowns on forums, and I do get the green hair theory, yes you only react to what you on some level suspect might be true even if only subconsciously, and bigger the suspicion, the more ferocious the defense. But at the end of the day, it is always an opportunity to look within & learn about self through how you are responding to some nasty bastard/bitch you (hoepfully!) will never meet ripping you to shreds in cyberspace.

But is that any fun? Nuh, self reflection is a bit of a bore, most people would prefer to go for the juggler so I get what RUS is saying about the double side of the coin.

Mattathias Schwartz concludes that the trolling instinct springs from the destrucive human urge which as welall know has always existed and will always exist and stems from many and varied sources which were briefly covered in a thread the other day about genetics upbringing etc and so on.

Will we as a society one day get to the point where we take no more notice of trolls than the supermarket tabloids as Fortuny or Weev suggested? I doubt it because as the great Gatsby said, “it’s only personal”.

And therein lies the rub.

Should this action be performed on a regular basis? Because I was dark blue until a few minutes ago when I made comments on other people’s walls and saw that my name was in light blue, so I performed the action required from this thread and my name turned into dark blue again…
