Conflict is advantages

And those who provoke the spineless, what of them?

In my opinion the act of provocation depends on the motive. I have seen individuals prod me on this thread to get a reaction just for the giggles.
Nothing wrong in that but if that individual continues and creates an issue out of prodding me or someone else maybe it can be seen as a form of Trolling.
What you think Wilomn?

I think there are not enough Mirrors over there.

I've prodded a jellyfish or three in my time, but I've not done it and said I didn't.

Do you see what I mean?

As far as trolls and what is trolling, if you're concerned you may be being followed by or in danger of being eaten by said troll, do NOT, under any circumstances, feed it.

Unless you really, deep down where the peanut butter is all soft and mushy, you really want that troll to work his magic on you.

But you wouldn't do that now, would you?
 
I would like to know what the exact premise of this thread was supposed to be about? What was this thread supposed to accomplish? From what I have read/seen from the OP, it has done nothing but stir the pot just to have conflict and confrontation. I feel that it has been nothing but a waste of time and band width. Snake Inc? Why did you start this thread in the first place? Am I correct in the fact that all you were trying to do in the first place was to cause turmoil and conflict? I would like to thank you for having me waste my time by reading through nine pages of posts just to try to figure out what this thread has anything to do with this forum. I think I will end my post with that before I get confrontational and antagonistic and start a conflict with you. You really need to move on from this thread and add some intelligent, interesting thoughts and insights that actually have something to do with Cornsnakes.

Jay :cool:
 
What of the trolls that pop their heads into a thread with no intention of anything but antagonising other participants? Don't these individuals deserve some form of punishment after consistantly antagonising people for no other reason than to be a douche?

And yes...I have specific examples I would LOVE to share, if anyone is interested...

I don't know Jay, seems like you're allowing yourself to be angry here, maybe even encouraging yourself towards that end. I don't know about you, but when I get to the point in a thread where I feel like I'm wasting my time, I don't, as a rule, bother to comment on it, I just move to another thread where I don't feel that way. Why not refrain from commenting, thereby not contributing to the continuation of what, prior to your post of discontent, a thread that you simply could not understand the existence of, which, of course, must therefore also make it worthless as well as a waste of time.

Unless, as is entirely possible, I've totally missed your point.

If this is bait, are you trolling?

Trolling? I am asking a specific question, related specifically to the topic, about specific situations within the confines of the topic.

How is that trolling? :shrugs:

As this is a forum where we are supposed to be able to voice our respective opinions I apologies if you do not consider this particular topic worthy of your presents.
I will avoid corresponding a reply to your accusations as I choose not feed anything that seems to be the essence of your post.

Jay,
This thread was started in an attempt to bait me. Snakes Inc was posting a bunch of rude or argumentative threads. I asked him why he was trolling. I did not say that he was a troll, I asked why he was trolling. He responded by calling me a bunch of rude names trying to bait me out. He thinks that I am in the wrong by asking him why he was trolling, and that I provoked him and am therefore responsible for every single thing he has said since.
