The secret of trolling is keep the subject changing, often by claiming they're just rephrasing for clarity, or that the new statement is directly related, only slightly tangential, when in fact it's a U-turn or at least a ninety, and sometimes in a parallel universe. That keeps the trollee always on the defensive, responding, defending, unable to question or make a point. Didn't you learn that from tw?

You'd think I would have, right?

Mind you, learning from past mistakes is not a skill I've ever been accused of ;p

You guys really are assholes, but the way you are assholes is kind of interesting - Most other places I've been too are a lot more likely to explore and delve into such questions - hell even in the forum I met dana in back in the day was a lot more likely to go deeper on most issues - so you'd think such differences would come out more often, but this is actually the first place that outright reacts to so much of what I say like I am speaking alien this unanimously.

... And you actually get exposed to a lot less of it as well -This isn't key hole peeping content, it's more like the left side of my forehead tattoo.

It's not the issues, the issues are fine, it's you: the left side of your foreskin tattoo (bet it's a cross) is boring. Try a little less dicking around.

traceur: When I act like an asshole, people leave in disgust.
"You guys": That's unsurprising.
traceur: You're all assholes!

Yep.

Testing people and/or judging women as human beings is being an asshole, and expression utter disgust at doing something consciously is nothing but the lack of surprise.

...I think it's just about time for the ITAK clause.

From Cellar FAQ:

Quote:
It takes all kinds. There may people here that you don't like. There may be people here who don't like you. Such is life, and it's not the end of the world. Now, if you don't like most people here, you should find another forum. And also, if most people here don't like you, you should find another forum.
[BOLD MINE]

He's fond of acronyms. Makes him feel superior to make others ask what they mean so he has to explain it to them. He's threatening to take his ball and go home. He preys on unattached women he believes are desperate for the attention he gives them: so desperate that they can't do without him and will rally around him and appease his egocentric needy ways if he threatens to leave.

Failing that, it gives him an out before he is banned. A Peace With Honor ploy like Nixon's where he comes off as the bigger person...at least in his own mind. He doesn't have the integrity to just do it. He has to announce it (this is the second time) and make the aforementioned play first.

It's all about manipulation. Some, like JBKlyde, get into religion for what it can do for their agenda. This one gets into psychology for the same reason. Think of this one as a cross between JBKlyde and tw. It fools a lot of the people a lot of the time, especially those who are predisposed to identifying with others who appear to have deep convictions (even if those convictions aren't altruistic).

I don't think he's a Klyde. I think that is overstating things a little. Trace has been fascinated with psychology for as long as I have known him. I think he's probably genuinely surprised by the reaction to his stopwatch suggestion.

*shrugs*

Sometimes there isn't a middle ground to meet on.

Wiki description for a 1958 movie;
Quote:
The story of I Married a Monster from Outer Space revolves around a young wife realizing her new husband has become strangely transformed shortly after their honeymoon. He has seemingly lost all affection for her and for his pet dogs, even his earlier habits have now completely vanished. Thereafter, she quickly discovers that he is not the only man in town that has changed into a completely different person.
It should have been a great success, tapping into the feelings of many wives.

The only time there is no middle ground is when both sides refuse to admit it exists.



Now...Back to the show.
