Christmas Trolling?

Griff · 12-24-2013, 04:29 PM

Should we be trolling dwellars on Christmas Eve using peoples' real pain as cover for our, arguably, false beliefs? I watched The Book Thief the other night so I may be over-sensitized to the use of manipulation to protect a message. Am I a troll for saying something?

footfootfoot · 12-24-2013, 06:01 PM

I'm not sure what the question is.

orthodoc · 12-24-2013, 06:42 PM

I don't understand. Clarification please?

And a Merry Christmas to you, wishes for a lovely holiday no matter what your beliefs. No trolls here.

I'm too busy looking for Christmas trolloping to notice.

I verbed that noun for just for Christmas.

Oops, I did it again.

Griff · 12-24-2013, 08:30 PM

I think I don't get it. That is all.

Christmas trollops...Now that's something I could get behind.

You know, so-to-speak.

I'm wondering what about The Book Thief (which I haven't seen) prompted your reaction?

You should check it out. It was the over-all atmosphere of Germany during this period where people are afraid to push back against wrong-headed cultural norms for fear of getting on a list. Here its more enforced by social forces, any questioning of military incursions over-seas are turned into attacks on the men and women of the armed forces. Its pretty clear that we are less safe because of our militarism, but we don't challenge that for fear of revealing that the terrible life sacrifices made by our soldiers were counter-productive.

Godwin invoked

Now now, you should have played the Godwin card in response to post one.

The last post was a direct response to a question.

I was supposed to see the film in order to know that

infinite monkey · 12-28-2013, 09:35 AM

Or, read the book. It's a good one.

On the worst day of Trollmass
Cellar Troll gave to us
Twelve non-yanks whining
Eleven stalkers stalking
Ten dwellers posing RFN
Nine newbies nitpicking
Eight photoshopped images
Seven suicide threats
Six snarky sockpuppets
Five gold-plated rings (at UT’s porn shop)
Four Flint vanity searches
Three clone threads
Two inane polls
And a homophobic rant in pseudo prose
