Title: The trolling has reached epic proportions.
Post by Lord Herbert on Nov 21st, 2014 at 6:46am
Definition of trolling:

1. 3 or more ad hominems with NO OTHER CONTENT from the same person or more, following ones posts. This may occur in the same thread or in different threads.

2. A few mild insults and abuse I personally can accommodate without a problem SO LONG as these are accompanied by explanations relating to the subject of the discussion.

Example: link

My considered post is followed by four ad homs with no attempt to engage in discussion.

And I ask myself : "What the bugger am I wasting my time here for?"

You're missing the point, Bobby.

The intolerance is not with me but with the habitual trollers.

You're missing the point, Datalife.

It's the persistent nature of this 'tagging' without any attempt at debate or discussion that leaves me wondering why I don't follow all the others who have since moved on from this forum board.

It should be the owner of this board who is worried about the likes of Hot Breath undermining the quality of the posting here to the point of driving away those who are not here just to tag, troll, and graffiti the threads.

You want me to 'off', while you mods leave the trolls to breed and carry on as a Protected Species?

I'm looking for the 'bugger-Off ' button to get rid of these persistent pests, but you'd rather it was I who did the walking.

You were indeed, Annie, and I apologise. I'm just sorry you do so little reading here on this forum that it comes as a surprise to you that there's a swarm of resident pests whose sole purpose in logging on seems to be to bait and troll with no intentions of entering into debate.

Some ad hom within modest limits can even add to the fun of the parry and thrust of a thread, but when you find yourself being followed around from thread to thread like a dog on heat by the same pests who have nothing to say of any value from one end of the week to the next, then it's time these career-pests where simply dumped from the board for being little more than vandals.

'Derailing threads' is what they do.

Myself or someone else posts up an issue that has 'discussion-merit' and potential ... but then this is followed by a series of adolescent ad hominem jeering and heckling that turns others away from engaging with the subject.

Ignoring this problem only serves to degrade the forum board to the point where it's the disruptive adolescent pests who are dictating the character and quality of this platform for discussion.   


That's my lot, I won't say any more. Unless the moderating is a lot more investigative and proactive instead of 'passive-recipient' ~ these pests will continue to play their trolling games here.

This could be because the subject of the threads makes this relevant to the discussion, and because I initiate quite a few threads on this theme drawn from headline news from the UK and Australia.

"For as long as they make the news - we'll talk about it".

And when I try to introduce subjects that have nothing to do with the above, I find myself inundated with ad hominem tagging, graffiti, heckling, and one-liner irrelevancies .. as you yourself should well know.

In my opinion, you barely ever post anything warranting serious discussion. Its either daily mail links about immigrants which could all be rolled into one thread or stuff about cats.

Have you looked at FD's posts lately?

FD owns this forum board, and it's a subject that interests me as much as it does him.

While you're here, why not take a swipe at him too for concentrating on Islam so much?

Maybe suggest he ban himself from this board for upsetting your ethnic paranoias?

You were stirring the pot on the 'whites versus blacks' dichotomy.

Nope.  Not sure where you got that definition from.

Trolling: "Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can."

A few of the members use Ozpolitic as a scribble pad and think they're being very clever with their thoughtless one liners and abuse. They haven't got the brain matter unfortunately to put into civil words why they disagree with someone's opinion. It's easier to be personally abusive to shut their opponent up.

The standards have been higher here, but it depends who the moderators are at any given time and if they choose to enforce the boundaries. Some of those in the past wouldn't have tolerated the crap we see today. You have to try and deal with the trolls the best way you can Herbert and not expect anything much from the moderators. The few we have are rarely here and unless they have similar standards to you, you're going to be ignored.

The solution would be to appoint a GM, or two, who actually cares about this forum and maintaining some standards, but FD seems to avoid these people - perhaps for commercial reasons, who knows.

Concentrate on those who give positive feedback and ignore the others Herbert. If it gets too bad, save some of the posts with links and send them to FD. It can be effective.

Can someone tell me what trolling is? This is a PUBLIC POLITICAL forum. From what I understand, public means everybody's invited to have a say ( you know, demcracy). Political means at times discussing substantive issues, perhaps passionately. Some exchanges will be pleasant, others not so. To give an example,  I posted a thread in criticism of Whitlam's government- I was called a troll on numerous occasions. There are threads which are essentially dominated by the same 4 or 5 people, if you join in you're called a troll. If you respond to some of the moutrageous leftist dribble, the Marxist mafia will all sing TROLL in chorus.
Is troll just another sling to throw at someone you disagree with/don't like in the same vein as racist/islamophobe/misogynist etc?

Trolls are those people who chase you around the forum - not to offer a constructive opinion, but to personally abuse you and put you down. They trash a thread and haven't got much to say unless it's something nasty. As their vocabulary is so limited - they often post pictures to try to humiliate other members. They don't like getting back what they dish out though.

Both sides of politics are guilty of nurturing these pests.

Post by Lionel Edriess on Nov 22nd, 2014 at 6:37pm
Ok!

I have now been watching this thread with some interest because I, myself, have been the subject of occasional attention of those that some would classify as 'trolls' or 'trolling'.

I suppose on occasion that I represent, or am deemed as representing, all the things that Herbert now stands accused of by his detractors. After all, I'm pro-gun, anti-Islam, anti-radical, white, agnostic and heterosexual.

This comment is made in the spirit of things because I am aware of a number of other posters who could make the same claims. You all know who you are.

The reason Herb becomes an item of interest to what he labels 'trolls' is possibly because he is a prolific poster and starts a number of threads with a provocative headline, or, frequently responds to other posters with a humour that they either misinterpret or cannot understand. I enjoy the understated humour and the effort taken to compile some of his posts.

The 'sensai' remarks are an example.

As a fiurther example, I have a long term love/hate relationship with Brian Ross that rarely descends into the type of flaming that I have seen Herbert (or others) endure. We have a relationship that is often compromised by my ability/reluctance to engage in in issues where we already know each other's stance and see no point in pushing the issue. We can debate/argue without the spiteful exchanges that I have seen others endure on an almost daily basis. Yet Brian and I can maintain an interesting dialogue without resorting to personal insult.

Datalife is another poster whose posts I enjoy because he often offers a thoughtful opinion on diverse subjects. Yet he often gets flamed for offering a different point of view. Again, one wonders whether the points made are considered, or merely rejected and criticised because they differ from the viewpoint of the flamer.

I think that most of us here are aware of the'usual suspects' but are reluctant to engage because - what is the point?

By the same token, I'm not above the occasional caustic comment myself.

However, that is often just a knee-jerk reaction to those who who would bring a knife to a gun-fight.

Ok!

I have now been watching this thread with some interest because I, myself, have been the subject of occasional attention of those that some would classify as 'trolls' or 'trolling'.

I suppose on occasion that I represent, or am deemed as representing, all the things that Herbert now stands accused of by his detractors. After all, I'm pro-gun, anti-Islam, anti-radical, white, agnostic and heterosexual.

This comment is made in the spirit of things because I am aware of a number of other posters who could make the same claims. You all know who you are.

The reason Herb becomes an item of interest to what he labels 'trolls' is possibly because he is a prolific poster and starts a number of threads with a provocative headline, or, frequently responds to other posters with a humour that they either misinterpret or cannot understand. I enjoy the understated humour and the effort taken to compile some of his posts.

The 'sensai' remarks are an example.

As a fiurther example, I have a long term love/hate relationship with Brian Ross that rarely descends into the type of flaming that I have seen Herbert (or others) endure. We have a relationship that is often compromised by my ability/reluctance to engage in in issues where we already know each other's stance and see no point in pushing the issue. We can debate/argue without the spiteful exchanges that I have seen others endure on an almost daily basis. Yet Brian and I can maintain an interesting dialogue without resorting to personal insult.

Datalife is another poster whose posts I enjoy because he often offers a thoughtful opinion on diverse subjects. Yet he often gets flamed for offering a different point of view. Again, one wonders whether the points made are considered, or merely rejected and criticised because they differ from the viewpoint of the flamer.

Don't threaten to have members banned because you don't like their political views. As far as trolls go - you are the one tracking down anyone you see as vulnerable and denigrating them. You are an internet bully.


I fully agree.

I've said it before ~ the problem with forum boards that aren't pro-actively moderated is that they soon become infested and dominated by a particular breed of Internet pest.

In other words, forums soon find themselves playing host to a collection of ADHD gibbering imbeciles whose amusement it is to flit from one thread to the other looking for opportunities to bait and heckle with no intention of addressing the subject matter itself.

Without moderators policing the threads of their own accord, the class-clowns soon end up damn-near hijacking every thread that has the potential to produce some interesting discussion.

The delinquent few in the Peanut Gallery here are given far too much freedom to continue practicing their disruptive games at the cost of threads going cold because of constant off-topic distractions.

As you'd already be aware, Herbert, the only reason they follow you around is because you make negative statements in regards to non-whites. This is a cardinal sin for leftists. Even rapists and murderers get more respect from the left than "racists".

Anyway, if what you say annoys them that much then you can be guaranteed you're on the right track. What is truth for conservatives should be considered blasphemy for leftists.

Take heart in Nietzsche's comment: "What is the highest of all species of being, and what is the lowest? The parasite is the lowest species; he, however, who is of the highest species feedeth most parasites."

It's quite funny to watch.

Anyone who doesn't support Herbie's bigoted and racist views, is deemed by him to be a troll.

The irony is, Herbie is the biggest troll in this forum: all he ever does is start racist threads and then run away without providing any supporting arguments.

He is the ultimate text book definition of a troll (and quite a nasty one at that).

Aussie/Herb, I'm guilty (as I'm sure you guys already know) of every forum crime you have described. In my defence, I feel I've paid in terms of being trolled and abused myself. I have never sought a pay off in trolling or abusing anyone, but I do have a dark sense of humour and I genuinely despise intellectual elitists. Is the best thing for someone such as myself who detests idealogues, to go off ozpolitics and never come back? If so, is that just surrendering?

32.39 posts a day, John. Really, it's just remarkable how you manage to post so many deeply considered replies to all the threads on this forum.

Definition of trolling:

1. 3 or more ad hominems with NO OTHER CONTENT from the same person or more, following ones posts. This may occur in the same thread or in different threads.

2. A few mild insults and abuse I personally can accommodate without a problem SO LONG as these are accompanied by explanations relating to the subject of the discussion.

Example: link

My considered post is followed by four ad homs with no attempt to engage in discussion.

And I ask myself : "What the bugger am I wasting my time here for?"


I find it somewhat amusing that our best and chief Troll, Herbie is complaining about what he describes as "trolling".

I agree with that stuff you said about 'trolling.'  Mr Mitty has no idea he does it ~ I hope.

Don't threaten to have members banned because you don't like their political views. As far as trolls go - you are the one tracking down anyone you see as vulnerable and denigrating them. You are an internet bully.


I fully agree.

I've said it before ~ the problem with forum boards that aren't pro-actively moderated is that they soon become infested and dominated by a particular breed of Internet pest.

In other words, forums soon find themselves playing host to a collection of ADHD gibbering imbeciles whose amusement it is to flit from one thread to the other looking for opportunities to bait and heckle with no intention of addressing the subject matter itself.

Without moderators policing the threads of their own accord, the class-clowns soon end up damn-near hijacking every thread that has the potential to produce some interesting discussion.

Oh! Is that what you were doing - discussion?

I may have to go back and re-read your input in this thread, just in case I've missed something that would qualify as genuine discussion or debate. Perhaps I should ask any 'disinterested' parties on this thread about how they value your 'discussion' technique?

Your earlier comments and sneers about Bobby and his supposed sexuality is acceptable, is it? Or is this some private game some of us are not privy to? Your dismissal of Swagman as a drinker is another form of 'discussion, is it?

Your playground response of, " It wasn't me, it was him" cuts no ice with me. The same goes for the excuse for the brevity of your posts.

Actually, after reading back through the thread, I suppose I should consider myself fortunate. Your reply to me would appear to be the longest contribution you've made so far. If that is indeed so, you do me an honour, sir.

Now that we have established the parameters of discussion as it specifically applies to yourself, perhaps we could return to the subject of the OP. This applies to your, "BTW, the topic at hand is trolls - anything else?"

Yes, there is, actually. A question of my own.

Given myriad definitions, how is it that you have never considered your own behaviour (you know what I'm referring to) as being close to that of a troll?

Take your time.



If it all gets too hard, you can always apply a label to me and then complain about my treatment of you to an appreciative audience.

very well said Lionel..I have already apologised to greg.. as my last  post was intended for JS..

if only we could see ourselves as others see us....

he will now come back with something derog about myself...... never with any proof of course...

he loves spreading lies about people as you bring up.. Bobby is now homosexual and it has to be mentioned every post when he refers to bobby...

some kind of insecurity I am thinking... ::)

JS will of course bring up he is now being ganged up on...good.... he may understand a little of what its like...only his attacks have been going on since he arrived on this forum...


its amazing as he seems to be the only one that doesnt see his PERSONAL problems with others....

Bobby is extremely tolerant. If someone continuously disrupted threads to call me a lesbian, I would have had something done about it a long time ago. He's made 30,000 posts in 2 years, the majority of them insulting and he's only just being noticed.

As Lionel pointed out - in this thread alone he's insulted just about every poster who's disagreed with him. These are just a few examples.

No-one deserves this crap.

I don't think too many people care whether anyone is actually gay or not, but if you're not gay and a heterosexual  female or male, you don't want to be continually accused publicly of being a homosexual. If Bobby wanted to get nasty - he could report it to someone outside of this board. Some of you people can't recognise when another member has had enough of your harassment.

The whole point of this Feedback thread and the others is to alert FD as to where there may be a problem militating against "the smooth running of this board".

Threatening to shut down this thread is both counter-productive and contradictory to the whole idea of there being a Feedback forum in the first place.


Annie Anthrax wrote on Nov 23rd, 2014 at 8:11am:

It's a Feedback forum for the information of the management and moderators here, as well as an 'Open Letter' Wake Up call to those who ignore the complaints of members within the normal threads.

Your thinking of closing the thread has thrown me for a loop.

It's healthy that people are saying their piece here, instead of in one-liners all over the board for weeks and months on end.

lol. You think this thread is healthy? That's a bit of a joke. It's like eleven pages of the Breakfast Club on crack. Rather than working toward any sort of solution, you're all engaging in a circle jerk of self love and perpetuating and cementing your grievances.


What a lovely way to spend the weekend.


And you're participating also. Good to see you're enjoying yourself too.

Perhaps the issue could be resolved easily by giving a warning to the people who continually harass members and disrupt threads by posting personal insults.

There are too many members who have been taunted for too long by the same people.

Have you ever been to a Group Therapy session organised by professional health workers and sponsored by the government at huge cost to the taxpayer?

Nothing's to stop you gate-crashing them one evening to tell them they're all participating in a 'circle-jerk'.

Or how about crashing into an AA meeting to tell them what a lot of wånkers they are?

Thank you.

It really is as simple as that.

That there is an 11-page rant here is testimony to the fact that the moderators are not playing a proactive role in stamping out the persistent hecklers, which is something they should be doing unbidden, and as a more productive alternative to threatening to close this thread down.

The obvious and easiest will be totally  ignored. No that would be too easy and it might actually eliminate the whining in Feedback..we can't  have that can we, that might result in something along the lines of peace forum wide and less work for mod's.

That is not directed at any one mod..but it might be something to take on board by all mod's.


I remember when I had one troll that had sniped nastily at me for years on end- and then one day a mod ( Annie ) told him to pull his stupid head in- he then left me alone. I am grateful to her - proof that warning  pp does work. Warn 3 times and then ban.

Aaah, so Annie could be using her moderator time more productively than posting here to bitch-slap us about how wastefully we're spending our weekend here at FD's Ozpolitic site, and what a bunch of circle-jerkers we are... ? 8-)

I think it is a little better than it was.

A few of the worst transgressors don't seem to be spending as much time here.


What's 'greg' ~ Scotch mist?


I have found most of his remarks to be fairly mild in comparison to many and most of his posts to be humorous while very often making a valid point. He would be nowhere near my worst list. Many of us step over the line on the odd occasion and I have not noticed Greg doing any worse than most others. Just my view I do not pay a lot of attention to a number of topics or some discussions between some posters so I probably miss a lot.

Annie - that is a very petty comment, but not unexpected.

I know you need to feel important and exercise your authority here, but Ozpolitic has never been a hierarchy and hopefully will never become one. The members here are only asking for a little moderation and from today - if they see some improvement, then you won't hear another word on this issue.

Your problem with me is that I am a woman. I know it and so do many others. None of the other moderators receive a negative word from you, but you continuously snipe at me.

This is not an issue about females. Have you spoken to the other moderators about this? I think they would all have a story to tell, but they haven't retaliated to my comments with abuse.

Annie - I have not abused you, but you are very quick to abuse me and anyone else who dares question your authority or offers constructive comments about how to make this forum better for all of us.

There were 2 different issues being addressed. One was about attacking the messenger - the other was about a little more curtailment of abuse generally.

We all have issues sometimes with people on forums - whether they're female or male. I've had some problems with female members at times - as they've had with me - including you, but most of us move on. Grudges aren't held onto forever. Don't take a cat-fight between 2 females too seriously. They're usually over and done with very quickly.

It's hard to please everyone.  Forums are either over-moderated or under-moderated.  Very few have a perfect balance.

People tend to leave a forum if it is over-moderated and it quickly becomes a wasteland.   On the other hand, they tend to hang around and voice their displeasure if the moderation appears light handed.  No win either way.

It wouldn't hurt (and would possibly help) if some degree of information is expressed to the members if and when action is taken against serial pests.   Names don't have to be mentioned.

As I said earlier, I think the smoothest forums are run with anonymous moderators.  Having said that, this is not one of them.

Annie, or any other moderator here, is only human and when snipes and insults are persistently hurled her/their way by some members it's only natural that they will at times retaliate.

Perhaps the issue could be resolved easily by giving a warning to the people who continually harass members and disrupt threads by posting personal insults.

There are too many members who have been taunted for too long by the same people.



You don't know half as much as you think you do, Mantra. You haven't a clue what action is taken against other members and it's none of your business.


It wouldn't have to be her business if you turkeys did your goddamn job.

This whole thread is a testament to the fact that moderators have been asleep at the wheel, to the detriment of those members who are sick of having to play patty-cake with a small coterie of juvenile idiots whose only purpose in coming here is to graffiti other's efforts.

John Smith admitted he pops in and out of his office all day long to check out the posts here, and what this tells anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with John's contributions here ~ his visits are all about taking brief swipes at posters before then leaving the office again.

You've got a goddamn hide to give mantra a serve, when you yourself are part of the reason this thread is running to so many pages. You're lucky I'm not in charge here or I'd have you on suspension for dereliction of duty as a moderator.

You owe mantra an apology.



well this thread suddenly went "berserk" doing a lambie... ::) ::)

why the hell mantra comes in for a serve I will never know..she is about the mildest on here..

so she sticks up for herself  .. since when has that been a crime???....and as for a female moderator bringing in the sex divide   what on earth does that have to do with anything...the females on here dont have any body measurements to brag about.. and most females dont give a stuff about anyones sexuality...or how many beers than consume...so I dont get that bit at all..

mantra you are ok...you just say how you feel...and whats wrong with that I will never know..

herb has hit the tin can on the lid...

we do have serial pests or trolls on here...

this isnt about "ONE OFFS"..

this is about "CONSTANT"

the same thing over and over again...unkind as a rule and uncalled for...

its isnt fun when you are at the end of "CONSTANT".......it isnt fun at all..

I have said it before..

we come on here to chat have a bit of fun maybe..learn a bit about life...

and some arsehole makes it hell .. they are STALKERS... because no matter where you go they are there like a bad smell..

to what purpose we never find out.........

its just the way they are...and in some case they even get visual support from mods...

AA says its no one business what the mods do..

yet we get sent a great list of RULES.....and we watch as several people disobey every rule in the book...and not a thing gets done about it..

if a mod thinks.. a couple of days holiday fixes it..

well I have news for them...


IT DOESNT.

and as for threatening to lock the thread...thats why there are so many...


a new one will appear... and thats should tell the mods..

HELLO..........they are still complaining about the same thing..

does that mean its still happening?????????????

Your problem with me is that I am a woman. I know it and so do many others. None of the other moderators receive a negative word from you, but you continuously snipe at me. It would be amusing if it weren't so pathetic. Out of all the ridiculous little fights you've had on this forum over the years, what proportion of your "foes" have been women?

Think about that.


This is not an issue about females. Have you spoken to the other moderators about this?


About your issues with women? Not really. It's embarrassing to witness, let alone discuss.

Anyway, once again I've let myself be dragged into a Feedback thread that may have been started with the best intentions, but quickly descended into a whine. My mistake. I'll leave you to it.

Most people on here see him as a troll.

And, I said he's a troll, not a stalker.

I've never once accused him of being a stalker.

However, he is the biggest troll on this forum, bar none.  I'll stand by that comment til the day I die.

Troll: "a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory ... messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response ..."

I don't want any sort of dissension with anyone to continue, but I need at least to present some sort of defence and put my perspective forward. Every global moderator who has been here since 2006 has had various run ins with members, including me. From memory - it was only one who made it personal, but it was brief and a one off comment.

I was very pleased when Annie was appointed and told her she was doing a good job, but I started noticing some personal and insulting comments to various members. Of course I gave them my support and this is how it has evolved.

I've had my say now - and will move on. Sensible advice though A.G.

Mr Ross, I am under no illusion about how Herbert operates.  I dubbed him Walter Mitty for very justifiable reasons.  The bloke simply manufactures a past and then attempts to feed off it.  He is also pretty much a dirty old man with his eternal sexual innuendos....'smelling like fish' being his latest.  But, the bloke has a place, yet he seems totally oblivious to what he is up to.  You reckon he is deliberate?  Well, I suppose that could be true.  He got away with it at Debate & Relate because he had obviously curried favour with the Management there (especially with the American bloke and his Australian Bride...the names escape me,) and he was allowed free reign.  When someone like me strolled into that place and saw/experienced the obvious manipulation of Membership (some stupid scary Mod......Doolan....?? was always going to come along and do the dirty ban work as though he was not actually the Management) and naked bigotry, I was never going to last, and I didn't. 

The outcome is self evidence of how dumb that Management was.  The Forum (as it was) is gone, it deserved that outcome, and Walter, Elde Fruit, you made a not insubstantial contribution to its demise.

The GMs here need to keep all that in mind.

"Uncle Herbert" truly is the ultimate Troll.

How many 'suspensions' have you had here ~ and Greg too?

How many 'suspensions' have I had here ~ or even just warnings? None.

Doesn't this tell you something?

It either means I'm bullet-proof, or that you and Greg are bitching and whining about me from the position of the Guilty and the Convicted.

Please change the record Greg. You have repeated yourself at least 30 times in this thread. Your comments actually make you look like the troll.



30?  Hyper Bowl much?

If greg would just put down that bong and take a walk around the block, I'm sure it'll do him some good. Temporarily. Until I submit another post somewhere.

How many times was I banned at D & R? None.

How many 'suspensions' have you had here ~ and Greg too?

How many 'suspensions' have I had here ~ or even just warnings? None.

Doesn't this tell you something?

It either means I'm bullet-proof, or that you and Greg are bitching and whining about me from the position of the guilty and the convicted.


Or .... like Brian.....we all know your grotty history from Debate & Relate......but, Walter, don't take it too badly.  If ever you want a PM exchange to sort out a translation from German into English, I'll always go out of my way to help you.  Heck, I'll even get one of my Drivers (who is German) to especially take time out of his life (and he doesn't know you at all) to assist you.  And the thanks I get is you bitching about me sending you what you say were unwanted PMs.

Mr Ross, I am under no illusion about how Herbert operates.  I dubbed him Walter Mitty for very justifiable reasons.  The bloke simply manufactures a past and then attempts to feed off it.  He is also pretty much a dirty old man with his eternal sexual innuendos....'smelling like fish' being his latest.  But, the bloke has a place, yet he seems totally oblivious to what he is up to.  You reckon he is deliberate?  Well, I suppose that could be true.  He got away with it at Debate & Relate because he had obviously curried favour with the Management there (especially with the American bloke and his Australian Bride...the names escape me,) and he was allowed free reign.  When someone like me strolled into that place and saw/experienced the obvious manipulation of Membership (some stupid scary Mod......Doolan....?? was always going to come along and do the dirty ban work as though he was not actually the Management) and naked bigotry, I was never going to last, and I didn't. 

The outcome is self evidence of how dumb that Management was.  The Forum (as it was) is gone, it deserved that outcome, and Walter, Elde Fruit, you made a not insubstantial contribution to its demise.

The GMs here need to keep all that in mind.

"Uncle Herbert" truly is the ultimate Troll.


Debate and Relate still exists - http://www.debaterelate.com/forum/index.php

What I find particularly amusing is that Herbie fled when it came under my management and I actually imposed what he claims to crave here - moderation.   He knows that real moderation is death to his antics and that is why he avoids it.  It is also why he does what he's doing in this thread - first claiming that the moderators are failing and then alternating between antagonism and praising them.   ::)

He, like anybody is free to re-register/register at Debate and Relate as long as they abide by the rules as they are laid out.

It's pretty sad how badly this thread has degenerated.

Everyone has their own perceptions of a troll and Herbert is not what I would term a troll.  He does not appear to follow people from thread to thread making snide and insulting comments nor does he analyse their perceived personality flaws ad nauseam.

If you don't like what he has to say, say so and move on.  Making long and personally insulting posts is petty and those making such posts should hold the mirror up to their own behaviour.  Some of these posts are just plain nasty.  Jealousy perhaps?

You're confusing 'trolls' with 'stalkers'.

Herbie isn't a stalker: he's a troll.  The king of all trolls, in fact.  If you can find a bigger troll than Herbie, I'll pay to see that.

"a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people by posting inflammatory ... messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response ... "

He may start topics that many don't agree with but that does not make him a troll.

Posting topics does not in itself create arguments.  It's the people who respond to the topics with personal snipes that create the arguments.

If I don't like or agree with a topic (or the person posting it) I don't go there.   :)

I don't have a hostile bone in my body.

You're starting to sound like Misty: he makes incorrect assumptions too.

Herbie loves to play the victim, and he's reeled you in hook line and sinker.

I'll enjoy watching him play with you, as you dangle on the line.

"stuck up for" ?

Why does he need that?

Herbie is a troll - the king of all trolls.

He starts troll threads, and then immediately runs away to see what happens.

His aim is to upset as many people as possible, while not actually participating in any sort of rational debate.

What is it exactly that you're defending him from?

I'm genuinely curious.

Plus, I asked you a genuine question which you are now refusing to answer.

I'm glad you've carried on the way you have in this thread, Greg, because it serves the purpose of letting Freediver have a more concentrated and better understanding of just what a sick puppy you are.

Quite rabid.

In this thread you've showcased what a persistent yapping little dog you are.

FD doesn't have to go traipsing around from one thread to the other to view your droppings ~ you've used this thread as an open sewer quite sufficiently for him to understand you are genuinely not a well person.

An insight into peccary behaviour:

" ... Aggression

* Non-fighting aggression usually involves squabbles among yearlings over a food item or mutual threats by two individuals over soil feeding sites on ant mounds. Pelage is erect during these encounters.

* Dominance interactions involve charging, biting, and whirl-arounds; dominance is apparently determined by size, but as indicated above, gender may also be involved.

* The Chacoan peccary seems to be less aggressive than other peccary species. For instance, squabbles are brief and often end quickly with one or both animals backing off. ... "

His little red volkswagen to the ugly
Part of town where they keep the government buildings.

"Voodn, voodn!
Boy it's so hard to find a place to park around here!
Greggery peccary takes the elevator
Up to the eighty-third floor of a grim,
Gray, evil-looking building
With a sign on the front reading:
'big swifty associates. trend-mongers'."

My questions for Neferti remain, and I await her response.  Whatever happens at that totally distinct (and almost extinct) forum ought stay at that place.  That is why many people have left it and choose to post here, well away from the sleaze.  I have not posted there for many, many weeks, and I have zero immediate intention of returning.  There is far too much crap there these days.

As for your question concerning ian.....although it is none of your business, the answer is ~ no, I have not asked via PM.

rubhbish, you refer to it every time you lose an argument. Secondy you display you own inferiority issues by constantly referring to me as insecure, based on what? Nothing. You even accused me of constantly referring to my own professional background in order to win debates but couldnt give 1 example of it. You have been caught any number of times and your projection and semantics dont win yiour arguement. Strangely, I got banned immediately after I bested you in  a debate and questioned your alleged legal qualifications which you trotted out once again after you lost the argument.

At no time did I say that you sent Ian a PM asking for his private details.   That is an outright lie.  

You are known to hedge the truth, play on words and are often very specific in your wording so as to deflect the truth.  You specifically said "you will find no post from me" instead of saying something like "I have never asked you for private details".

Of course, words are patterns and patterns can be detected. Everything in this world has a pattern to it including humans, its how profilers work. It takes no special trick, just a low level of empathy for 1 thing because to do it you must remove the emotion from the circumstance.

It does not irritate me.  Nothing here does.  (That is why it is so hilarious reading ian's voodoo about emotion and profiling.)

Yeas, Mr Mitty asked.  In fact, he asked the entire Forum.  The funny thing is that Walter believes I have some bucket ready to tip all over him, yet the reality defies the notion ~ I was quite happy to go out of my way to assist him get that document interpreted, and no, I did not assist in the hope of getting any return.  I was happy one of my drivers could efficiently do the job.

After the event, I did make a request of him, but that is none of your business as it is/was PM issue.

Aussie is like a dog with a bone and better ignored for your own peace of mind.

I have 'known' aussie for some years now myself and know how he fashions himself.  I usually ignore him but when he openly lies he must be pulled up.  Being bored is no excuse nor is playing on words to create an outcome which does not exist.     :)

I asked for a manuscript to be translated by anyone on the board who could do so.

He very kindly had someone translate it for me, and I thanked him profusely ~ but ever since then he's been acting like he owns my arse.

I am definitely NOT a troll, nor do I troll.   Some people have issues with certain people for whatever reason. It's the bloody Internet for christ's sake. Not real life.

The Internet is where you say what you think, isn't it?  Nobody is going to slap you over the head for saying something that your family might not like, right? You are incognito here so, unless you tell what your ID is ..........

However ....... I have found that, unless there is an "under current" of ribald jokes, hate and innuendo on Forums they just fade away.  Nobody wants to be super-serious consistently.  We come to these Forums to let off steam, as it were.  If it isn't your thing, leave and go elsewhere.

Who said you were trolling me and what exactly is the second to last edict of mine you need to comply with?

What exactly are you saying?



Neferti clearly meant that she was too lazy to read through all the pages, so could someone please post your last post so she could oblige you by stalking you as she had been accused of.

It's pretty obvious from the outside that you all have much more in common than you think. If you could all just get together in the real world and have a beer, you'd probably get on like mental patients on ecstasy.

its interesting nef....but all this trolling of each other.... well thats what it looks like from here..

he said she said... I decided to have a look for a post where aussie mentioned neferti.. on this thread.. and guess what,..


there isnt one..are you sure you are not trying to bring attention to yourself Nef???...

as you can well see the word EPIC has now translated into EPIDEMIC....

but basically you are the one making claims about you trolling someone else... and it isnt on this thread....not that I can see...

why does everyone have to belittle aussie regarding his ex legal qualifications... as we all know they mean nothing on here anyway...we had a guy on yahoo who told us he was an ex SAS member...not sure if it was meant to impress or scare us......but caused a whole lot of humour...and he was ridiculed for evermore over it...I dont think anyone needs to use a persons past to put them down really.....not nice... not nice at all...girls... get a life.

as I said.. use search for what your looking for I couldnt find anything..

You can waste your time defending the indefensible if you like, but it is beyond question that out of the blue, Neferti strolled into this thread with bizarre abusive stuff about her 'supposed to be trolling' me, and asking about 'my latest edict.'

I have asked her to clarify, and she has failed to do so.

Lovely stuff.

well it does to those of us.. that are not in the least bit interested in where this is going..

out of the blue someone is accused of something that only the accuser appears to know anything about....this is a legit thread about trolls...about people being constantly driven to explode because of those who only come on here to exploit something or someone..

aussie come on and all of a sudden out comes those who I understand mainly contribute to another forum????. if that isnt so except my humble...

however what is said and done on another forum.. [assuming thats what this is all about].. cant you at least leave it there....

aussie claims he doesnt know what anyone is talking about.. I agree he has the right to ask that question..

then we get you know what its all about...and aussie getting bashed for daring to claim he had another life at one stage...

ye gods herbs main complaint is the trashing of an y thread he starts up..

wow and has this been trashed... its solved not a thing...

Funny how the people accusing Herb of being a troll normally post no more than 1 line rebuttals containing personal insults while Herb makes extensive and thought out well linked posts (which I usually dont agree with) , he is actually the exact type of poster this forum needs in order to create effective discussion and debate. Never parades his ego by claiming extraordinary experiences and qualifications and is very mild in response to the pitchfork mob.  I love Herbs posts, Im getting a bit tired of the 1 liners in response  though and the endless calls for people to be banned. Very childish.

This post that aussie quoted and from which he called the writer a stalker was made by Neferti.   

Deleting her name and then saying no reference was made to Neferti makes absolutely no difference, it's just semantics and deceit.   Facts are facts.

Could aussie really have specifically quoted someone and claimed they were stalking him but he didn't know who the poster he was quoting even was?  That's pretty out there.

Funny how the people accusing Herb of being a troll normally post no more than 1 line rebuttals containing personal insults while Herb makes extensive and thought out well linked posts (which I usually dont agree with) , he is actually the exact type of poster this forum needs in order to create effective discussion and debate. Never parades his ego by claiming extraordinary experiences and qualifications and is very mild in response to the pitchfork mob.  I love Herbs posts, Im getting a bit tired of the 1 liners in response  though and the endless calls for people to be banned. Very childish.


Thank you, ian.

That is probably the most sensible post made in the last 6 pages.

Isn't marvelous how this thread has morphed from Herbert's original post and the reason for him posting it in the first place. While we may not always agree with his sentiments or his opinions, there is always the quality of his responses and his links.

It's a pity that his serial detractors can't match either his humour or his entertaing style.

On'ya, Herb!

If indeed you are a troll ( ;) ), the hits on this topic alone have elevated you to the top of the heap.

Congratulations and well done!

Post by Phemanderac on Nov 27th, 2014 at 6:48am
This thread is far too funny.

By the widely broad brush stroke standards most seem to use to describe a "troll" it would seem that ALL posters on this forum are trolls. The obvious consequence to all that would seem to be that the OP has inadvertently finally got a thread topic to appear almost accurate.

Accidental genius per chance.

Comments on the length of replies would seem to be idiotic. Content is far more important the quantity - and I say that as someone who is knowingly quite verbose in response at times.

Some of the shorter responses often hit the nail on the head, without need for convoluted or lengthy diatribe.

Content.

I catch myself out at times wasting time (cause that is what it all boils down to) throwing a witty one liner (well intended as witty) back to a comment that deserves (in my opinion and, let's be honest, it is an internet forum, hence it is all about opinion and bares little relationship to fact, critical thinking, integrity or honesty) nothing more. I say catch myself, because often times, the post may not even deserve that much. Hence, I usually do not bother, it just isn't worth it.

The overall message from this thread (not just for the OP, BUT most assuredly including him) would seem to be that currently ALL posters (pretty much) have stooped to troll status with a bit of monotonous regularity. Personally, I think that is because it would seem that ALL forums (well in my experience all political based forums) seem to be magnates for such strongly opinionated and arrogant people that acknowledging a wrong position is beyond them, so, they must stoop to conquer. In general I include myself as well before any trolls jump on board that comment with their hackles raised and claws extended. Although, I will allow one caveat there, I have admitted error and also apologised in the past.

If any here are capable of demonstrating some honest self reflection, you have a brilliant opportunity right here and right now to evidence this by going over just your own contributions and being as diligently critical of your own efforts as seems to be the case when judging others posts.

As to abuse (which also gets a good run), it seems a pretty straight forward thing to me, but then maybe I have an advantage (I say maybe quite deliberately) in that I have worked with behaviour for many years.

Here is one example of an idea that makes abuse fairly obvious.

Say a response to something you think is not very clever....

One could say, "that is a ridiculous comment"....

Or they could say, "you are ridiculous...."

Fairly basically, one is abusive, the other is an observation. I personally think it does not take much nouse to work out which is which. Yet, we still have some issue around abuse - which apparently is related to Trolling.

Like many, I come to forums to relax, unwind and/or if lucky have a laugh. Having said that, it doesn't automatically give me license to be nasty, abusive or derogatory to some - yet, I have seen that alluded to by some who, simply put, seem to have to defend their tawdry position.

Trolling perhaps has reached epic proportions, however, Poor bugger me OP is not the sole hapless victim, nor, as has been suggested, is he the worst offender, albeit he is at times offensive and trollish. I would suggest, as I have been doing, we most likely all are.

Growing up might be a good starting point folks. A different opinion is just a different opinion and not necessarily a cause for offense.

The tit for tat rubbish though is very sub standard  - with no winners and only the board suffers.

I don't think there are any winners in this thread for example, that is my opinion and I embrace your right to disagree with it, whether that be in one line or over several posts - I would though, respectfully, ask you to at least attempt a modicum of self reflection before hitting the post button...

I have asked who said you were trolling me and what exactly is the second to last edict of mine you need to comply with?

well that may be so nef... but on here it looks like you have your nickers in knot...all I can see is aussie asking a question...it seems to have taken over the thread thats all I am saying...why not put up the post he made....then at least he would have to bury the bone..because you have him....

when you say you wont answer.. to me it looks like you cant...and thats not doing you any service..

you see nef I have also been at the brunt of lies and or innuendo on this forum and its very unpleasant. I can tell you... to me if something happened on the forum it is more than easy to show it to everyone... then one side has to shut up...I have often asked the person who STALKS myself for the evidence.. never seen any yet...

I am not about making someone elses time on here unpleasant...if you dont like me dont bother with me suits me fine...if someone asked the same of me.. I would oblige.. why go somewhere where you are not wanted?????...

if aussie is talking about you you dont like it tell him to stay away... if he doesnt then I go along with you having the right of reply...

in the mean time I am not sure who is getting what out of this????

he cant be any worse than some others that have made peoples live miserable on here.
Aussie got his knickers in a twist because I worked out his tactics and reversed the tables on him.  Now hes butt hurt because his ego got damaged.

There's just no fooling you is there.  Can you help me out here? What were these 'tactics' of mine you so devilishly worked out ~ there's that clevah voodoo again ~ and how did you reverse them?

(Just checked the drawer ~ not one knicker in a twist so you did get that one quite wrong.  Let's see about the rest.)

I have asked who said you were trolling me and what exactly is the second to last edict of mine you need to comply with?


I'm sorry... are you and N arguing about why she *isn't* trolling you? Can't we all just accept she isn't trolling you and move on with our lives?

This thread is far too funny.

By the widely broad brush stroke standards most seem to use to describe a "troll" it would seem that ALL posters on this forum are trolls. The obvious consequence to all that would seem to be that the OP has inadvertently finally got a thread topic to appear almost accurate.


And I've never seen a thread stay on topic for so long, either.

Are you seriously suggesting this matter is inhibiting the rest of your life?  Wot?  And......it really is so easy.  Neferiti posted:

Since I am supposed to be trolling Aussie, can somebody post his last edict so that I can comply?


....and I have asked her some very simple, easy to answer uncomplicated very clear questions about that post.

If that is of some major concern to your life development, maybe best to stay out of it, wot?  Not that I care either way.  It is, after all, about 'freeeedom,' wot?

thats the point it isnt ON TOPIC...its b een taken over .......by what can only be called two people trolling each other...

its threads like this that is supposed to open peoples eyes in the hope they can see themselves as others see them.....

but it never works... all it seems to do is make people far worse than they have ever been...

may as well not bother to try and get any form of understanding on here... its just impossible..

carry on...

Moderators, is it possible to move the domestic arguments now dominating this thread to a more appropriate place?

It has now become intolerable as it has come to dominate the OP about trolls.

Whilst I realise that this could be considered an appropriate arena for such ventings, it has rather polluted the quite genuine exchanges that were taking place beforehand.

Thanking you in advance.

;D

Thanks for sharing.  I doubt anyone cares about your boredom, or the 10 mins of your lunch hour.

Maybe I'm totally wrong.

and this is a moderator...are they not supposed to solve problems...maybe come up with a plan or too to stop stalking and for want of a better word irritation... ::)..

I guess they think the ban button answers everything..oh well...

how about a rule andrei that says..

unless you wish to talk about the topic... please do not enter the threads..

only trying to help.. nothing else seems to work.. unless you call boring the mods and achievement. ::) ::)

When anyone presents their chin in my direction while they are having a shot at me, then they can expect me to have a shot right back.

So much for your "Ooh, I'm not emotional" rubbish. Ian's point is thus proven. Knickers clearly knotted. Some helpful hints.

Nothing emotional about it whatsoever.  No knockers in a twist/knot.  Simple, clinical, matter of fact.

Ah, but my armchair psychology tells me that you're clearly wound up about it. Maybe your stomach's in a . .. knot ... about all this? Emotions are a normal part of the human experience, oz. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Although if your knockers are in a knot, well, that's not normal and you should probably show your GP.
