Trolls kill forums

[Ian H]

Well done, everyone, I see your tactic of arguing with the magatroll is working wonders, encouraging him to spam every single thread.

Indeed, I do the same, but it was just switching to 'New posts' instead of 'What's new' and seeing that he's been weeing on the furniture in every thread that caught my eye. I genuinely don't understand what people get out of it, as arguing with a big pile of steaming poo would be as intellectually satisfying.

Most of it's just incoherent jeering and a weird Xwitter post. I was vaguely amused by the unintended insight provided by his rather creepy fascination with Greta Thunberg's travails. You might worry about any daughters he might have.

What's the poster got to do with it. You turn your nose up at the telegraph

In general you're all snobby about where your news comes from

Interesting to see that someone who has a different view to your view is now regarded as a troll.

Debate is dead, its agree with my view of you are a troll

Just posting a tweet isn’t debate.
In order to debate you have to be able to actually engage with them.

Subject matter is the discussion.

Quite a few of you were crowing about this Trump, that Elon mishap. When the tables turn, it's trolling.

Anyway, back to normal behaviour

Trying to prove a point by a link to an account by someone calling themselves British Patriot with overtly racist views was quite revealing.

Yup, if he's not a troll, then neither is Shrek.

If I posted every article published by the daily mail without commenting on them other than an emoji, or something like, huh, look at this, you'd think I was a troll.

What he does is worse, because it's the random musings of some racists who use a lot of toilet paper when they are browsing the internet for not racist things to do.

In your opinions, which like mine count for absolutely nothing, except to bîtch and whinge on an arse end forum

Not snobby. I want my news to be based on facts. Not what the voices in Alistair Heath's head scream at him when he steps out of the shower in the morning.

That means he has to think.

Not going to happen with an IQ smaller than his shoe size.

There's the condescending, superior lefty

If you want to get personal?

But carry on

I'm left handed. So what?

Anyhoo, I don't consider myself a leftie or any other political label. I just believe in what I feel is best for the UK, and the world, as a whole.

If people think that's being a leftie, fine. Not too worried.

I'm not superior. I just don't get my news sources from f*ckwits on X.

It's not different views. Different views are welcomed.

It's the endless Twitter posts from some unknown "influencer" pushing complete lies. If people want to read the entirity of Twitter they'll be reading it on Twitter, we don't need it clogging up and destroying discussion here.

And posting Twitter posts here doesn't give the opportunity to discuss those views as the author (on Twitter) has never heard of Cycle Chat. Troll isn't expressing their views, just the views of others who are not posting here.

So that makes what is happening "trolling" rather than expressing differing views.

So you never quote anything by anyone not on here as that is trolling?

Sometimes. Such as now.

If you can't tell the difference between vast numbers of Twitter "influencers" clogging every thread and recognised reporting then ... maybe that you can’t tell the difference speaks volumes itself.
