Everything's better than the nostalgia filter. First time you got laid, Pac-Man, the Reagan years...

No, Pac-Man is still awesome, filter or not.

So somewhat on topic, when somebody DOES troll, do you counter-troll the troll? And if so, how do you counter troll?

I use this.

... I am concerned this forum contains just a bit too much of it, and am beginning to feel that I cannot honestly present my opinions as everyone else is likely lying through their teeth at me.

Does anyone else feel this way?

What? Do your opinions have value? How much are they, why cant you give them to people even if they're lying? Honestly I dont see any trolling, just people posting their opinions and someone else going "I HATE DIFFERENT OPINIONS".

Huesoo: Reading your post backlog, I can definitely see why you would say that.

I realize it's a joke but people always seem to forget (and I'm certainly guilty) that counter-trolling the troll will get you into strife with Toady just as if you were the troll in the first place.

"Counter-trolling" is still basically giving the troll what he wants, and also fails to improve the situation.

These forums are pretty good as long as you avoid the LA forums. Go there and you may find your sanity has packed its bags and is hitching a ride on the nearest train.

So if you go in there sane and happy you come out insane.

What would the word be if I went in there totally bonkers and came out an internet success story?

You know, I believe there is a group of trolls that are here but they're probably the people who annoy me.

Alright, one question, how many/do you guys consider me a troll? Or at least hate me?

(I'll put a numbered list of people who hate me in my sig too.)

'S what he does. But he doesn't realize he's doing it, so I don't see him as a troll.

Is is really a good idea to be keeping hatelists?
