I'm gonna tell you the same thing you told Road based on your posts I cant take you seriously anymore its not worth my time or effort to try and understand your "logic". At first I was joking about the troll thing but know I think its true.

Did you come to this conclusion after the fourth paragraph? I'm fortunate I read this in reverse. I don't think you can claim the apathetic high ground after the third in an internet discussion.

quote:
In Internet slang, a troll (/'tro?l/, /'tr?l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic 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[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]

Seems to fit

If you're familiar with trolling as I am, this is the most important part. Someone pissing you off doesn't mean they're a troll.

It's someone who has the sole intention of not contributing to the topic in order to piss someone off -- all of that together dictates a troll.

So if I was posting about Gay Marriage here, and I knew you guys were a conservative lot, I would make sure to take the side of the homosexuals.

However, Tim Tebow, Jeff Driskel and Treon Harris on a Gator discussion forum that's almost directly related to football (almost every thread is dedicated to it), I'm on topic and if I didn't legitimately feel for the Gator QB's I doubt I would go through this much effort.

But, if you're not interested in a topic (in spite writing novels about it), I'll let you be on your way.

If you make a thread to discuss our thoughts about Tim Tebow and then start talking about Jeff Driskel that is off topic. You have done that on the last two threads you made (Reel and reflections and this one).

I am interested in the topic that you made the thread about Tim Tebow but not Jeff Driskel. I lose interest when I express my opionion and get told my logic is wrong because it doesnt agree with yours. And then get told to step away until I agree with you. Negative ghost rider the pattern is full.

So when 99% discuss the need to change QB and you take up for Driskel and defend him essentially saying he does no wrong that is the same thing, it is what a troll does and that is what your gay marriage analogy confirms going against the majority to create an argument.
