What's new

Looking for advice.

Scientology is the cesspit and it's full of vipers.

:yes: Herpderp seems to have already taken the cheese, and the trap is snapping shut as we discuss . . . .

Or to follow Sharone's line of thought, Herpderp is in it, the cesspit, already, and the vipers are circling, bobbing and weaving in front of him, smiling at him, fangs glistening, eyes focusing in on the target, hypnotizing him into a numb stillness, which is what they do, oh so well, just before striking.

:sadangel: Some cannot be saved, but must go through hell, perhaps never to exit. I hope Herpderp starts fighting and running - away - as fast as his mesmerized legs can carry him. Go down with a fight, dude. But I hope you get away. But don't go down like a mouse with the cheese in his mouth . . .

You're a newbie, too. Ok, not the same type and not with the same posting style. That's because you're you. Everyone's different.
You're right. I know I'm new. But I'm pretty good at trollspotting. The thing that really got me was the idea of pretending to be in a cult for lulz. This is pretty much a flat out admission that he wants to troll somebody.

I'm getting some Lols now.

Again I want to thank the folks that were helpful.

But seriously the level of rudeness/paranoia/aggression is off the charts. You people need to get over yourselves and calm down.

Again I will revert to my previous comment. I forgive you, you lack people skills because of your time in Scientology.

Thanks for jumping on a newbie and trying to insult me in my thread looking for nothing but info.

I strongly suggest that you check: On which foot is the shoe? You said you wanted to look at $cn from an "educational standpoint" but then said that you thought it would be "fun pretending to be in a cult". You can't keep one foot on the outside with the other one on the inside unless you're dancing the "Hokey Pokey".

If you want to try "outside tech", then go to the freezone threads, announce at least the Country where you live and, if there's any freezone nearby, someone will respond. Here, in Australia, if there is any freezone it is seriously low-key so, "Good hunting to you."

If you want to try "inside tech", walk into an org, sign up as staff, and watch your life fall apart.

Within your earliest postings you have managed to demonstrate conflicting ideas both of which seem comfortable to you. If you can live with Orwellian "double-think" then do so but don't expect anyone else to conform to that type of rationale.

This is an EX-scientologist board. Did you honestly expect anyone to try and sell you onto the idea? That's like asking Hillary Clinton whether you should date Bill or not--what sort of answers did you seriously expect?

Even if someone were trolling (and only he will truly know. Sometimes maybe board Admins if the IP addresses show morphing or whatever)-- so what?

You know that Tory used to troll a.r.s. before she saw what a shitty cult CofS was and then Left the Building. That's not a diss toward her- she's awesome, she's done a lot for criticism of Scn and I absolutely love that as well as her generous nurturing spirit. But truly, I was there when she was first on a.r.s. and it was pretty dang trolly for a bit til she woke up.

And you know what? She (me, too, actually, though with different net friends) left the cult because some folks reached out to her and actually TALKED to her (not AT her) about this stuff.

And just LOOK at what she went on to do since then. Truly remarkable.

So, no, I cannot support this troll spotting.

How can i be trolling in my own thread?

Either way, I'm done with these boards. You people can grab your tin foil hats and go back into hiding. Apparently someone asking questions is really threatening.

Trolls start threads all the time. We just had a big time troll start 3 or 4 threads in the past 2 weeks. Not uncommon at all.

Here's a little tech for ya....clear up yer MU on 'internet troll'.

Asking questions isn't threatening to any one of us at all. It's the tone of condescension, lack of empathy, and arrogance. And it's not threatening, it's just annoying. You have the lack of people skills....Derp.


(There, I didn't scream or cuss at all. Working on getting control of anger at self-righteous derps).

My bold.

VWD on controlling the anger thing. (unlike me who threw toys out of the cot all over the show last night!)

Would you like to write a success story?

Sorry! Sorry! The programming just clicked back in momentarily but I'm fine now. :biggrin:

:roflmao: No problem...I certainly understand about programming clicking back in. As for the success story, well, I think that I need one whole week of controlling the anger thing before that would be warranted, or believable. Maybe I can write up a "hat" on how to control anger on ESMB. :coolwink:

He's not leaving Idle. I've noticed that he is logged in and on this thread almost all of the time. I mean every single time I've looked today he's here. He loves attention and is probably bummed that he hasn't gotten more. He needs to learn from MF on how to create longer threads. :biggrin:

It's bc I'm OSA. And osama bin laden. And Jesus. I'm everywhere.
 
I know I'm fairly new here and I'm not an authority... But are there are any administators that might want to consider shutting this thread down?

All you have to do is stop posting. They won't shut this thread down just because you want it to be. If you stop posting the others will as well and then it will go dormant.

Good night and good luck...
