Interweb Trolls, Sheeple, Disinfo Agents and You?

So if I point out that trolling is a term that refers to hunting and catching, as fishermen who "troll" in their "trollers" for fish, and not related to the noun "troll" that evokes and image of Maurice Sendaks creatures in the book "where the wild things are" sitting around on computers...does that mean I am putting out "disInformation" because I am pointing out the actual meaning of the word and it disagree's with the mainstream view here?

Is this third generation Slayer? It looks like you've done some more work on it since the last time I saw it.

I play around on Photoshop from time to time while I'm dodging people accusing me of trolling.

The fact that this is in the Conspiracy Forum instead of the Jokes, Puns, and Pranks Forum is a troll in itself. The types of images SLAYER69 has used also shows what general age group he belongs to considering how outdated they are.

How is this conspiracy related? Or is the sheer point of me bringing up this fact a rabbit hole trap where I'm accused of trolling simply for asking?

I've been called just about every name in the book. At first, it pissed me off, but now I just take it in stride.

All it is ..is a bunch of useless words. Words that resolve nothing and adds little to the issues at hand.

I'm here to listen to all sides of an issue. Doesn't mean I have to agree with all sides.

Just gotten old arguing over basically the same old issues.

Call me names if you like. troll, disinfo, etc.. no big deal

I sleep well..

Flag #70 was me , and star 42 also, Great Insight , well needed thread , lets get back to what we are all all about,
Asking questions , and pushing the limits of informative reporting , and debate !

Yes, these are just names, however the rub is that people get labeled with this AND additionally get banned, after being labeled as such by someones estimation of what is disinformation or trolling etc.

The point of my post above was just that, it's semantics and very subjective as to who or what is a troll or who or what is spewing disinformation. The very nature of this board invites the very things they loathe by definition, who decides that someone is a troll, or that someones information is disinformation, as apposed to the truth? Is that even possible on a board like this?

In all honesty, though, I'm a troll. I troll the trolls.

ah sir! then might i suggest you and i belong
to the Lunartik school of trolling?

a special category as it were,
a few steps beneath being a Sacred Fool.

Just remember folks:-

A troll is someone who disagrees with what you post.
A troll will point out your stupidity and bigotry.
Dont worry though. If you have been found lacking upstairs, you can always report them. ITS A TROLL.
THEY MADE ME LOOK STUPID.
oh yuk ughoo, ( in the voice of Pluto) I am stupid.
nevermind. The internetz is here to defend the rights of the mentally retarded.

By any chance, do you have a Long Form PDF to prove that? Preferably one with only one layer so we know it's genuine? Otherwise I'm calling BS that you have ever used Photoshop.

Hail Slayer

Lord Neno? I kinda like that! Mind if I use it? Frequently?

Perhaps this has been said, but what drives me buggy is a poster whom has a very strong OPINION and tries to pass it off as FACT. The same goes for someone who launches a personal attack against another's opinion and starts telling them to "prove it", or says "You are wrong". Geez............

Why is it usually a "newbie" that accuses a long time member of trolling?

Thanks Slay, I feel better already!

Cheers,
Pax

S&F because you are right on time with this thread!

Pants ownership is for those with aspirations to actually leave the house.

Dressing gowns ftw

Leave the house? Oh, no! there's a WORLD out there! It's chock full of scary people! I ain't leaving the house fer NOTHING! I tried it once, about 30 years ago, and promptly got beat up for my lunch money. Nossir, I ain't budging!

What's a "dressing gown"? 'Tis no' a towel wrapped around me waist, hit's a KILT!

First off, how does one get a job being a dis-info agent anyway?

You have to be constructed as a bot at Langley.

Has anyone ever met one in person? Or perhaps has one as a friend?

Disinfo Agents don't have friends. the corollary is that "friends don't let friends become disinfo agents".

Does anyone know what the pay is like?

The pay sucks. I've been doing this for decades, and haven't seen the first check yet. I called last month, and "they" said it was still in the mail, so I'm hoping.... any day now.... and I keep on plodding along.

edit on 26-5-2011 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)

Time to upgrade that monitor to a 23" wide screen Slayer. I recommend Samsung. A true trolling and Photoshop monitor.

Although some folks like the older 4:3 aspect ratio better. You may be one of those.

WHAT? You can't spot the conspiracy here, even with the words "General Conspiracy" in great big letters across the top of each page?

Recommendation: No FEMA camps for this one. They'll do just fine in the general flock... err, I meant "general population"!

Sheeple?

The word used to bug the hell outta me round here....now it's a quick way to ID the dopes on ATS. Chemtrailers and FEMA Campers use it like it's a 'kill-shot' argument.

'You're a sheeple' is like a code for 'I'm an idiot who can't back up my posts.'

They might as well wave a white flag

LMAO! Very well said my friend!
