What is trolling?

[Alanzo]

Me too but we all have to grow up. Luckily none of us have dragons.

I need a dragon.

My god the whole world would be so much better off if Alanzo had a dragon.

Did I miss on my tally? What is the correct number Veda?


I believe he has used a phrase that he knows I won't tolerate, so instead he self moderates. What an <deleted>.

Don't know the correct number. I'm not keeping count.

It wasn't self moderated originally. That means he went back, later, and deleted the F bombs.

The F bombs don't bother me.

What is somewhat disconcerting is his adoption of Freedom magazine-type lingo.

That's weird.

Everyone is unbanned

I think this is the point people are missing. It's not an amends project. I'm not hypnotised. I haven't flipped to OSA. I'm not being paid by them. I just want to start over and forget 2010 ever happened, ok?

I deleted the F bombs. I was just quick about it so no edits show.

 

[Alanzo]

I saw posts that were <deleted> with no Edit tag underneath them, so I think he did it to prove a point over something.

That is correct. Thank you for noticing.

I'll bet you still saw the name in your mind when you saw I called Karen De La Carriere <deleted> too, didn't you?

Mooo-hoo-ha-ha-haaaaaaaa!

I don't think it serves any purpose to call Karen by any sort of derogatory name, even if disguised. It's mean and doesn't reflect well on you. Just sayin.

 

[Alanzo]

I had told myself to stay out of conversations like this. But...

But to answer this post - no-one forces any of us to read anything on here. If you don't like what someone writes, it annoys you, you think it unfair or unwise - put the poster on "ignore" and move on. There is no "loyalty" clause. It is about recovering the ability to hold ones own view, stand on one's own ground and speak one's own opinions.

Fucking winner.

If you had a dragon I would hire the Night King myself and buy him a dozen ice spears.

I would like to dedicate this following announcement in honor of all those people who refuse to resort to underhand rogue tactics when they go on crusades.

Silly little Armadilla

Couldn't we just smack his bum ... really hard?

 

[Emma]

He's a <deleted><deleted> and if I could <deleted> him I would.

 

[I told you I was trouble]

Oh.

 

[Emma]

<deleted personal insult>

You know exactly why I disagree. It's not cool. It really isn't.

 

[I told you I was trouble]

<deleted personal insult>

Do you really believe we all need to know what someone did 50 years ago, so we can all sit around and judge her on it?

You were trolling, pure and simple, just own it.

 

[Type4_PTS]

Then how do I improve? Is someone willing to show me what insults I've ignored or how I'm playing favourites? Please. I need to know. Examples, come on guys, please.

I came across many postings that I felt contained insults. And others which contained <deleted> within the text, so I presumed (apparently incorrectly) that it had moderated by you.

Here's one example I came across.

[bcolor=#ffff99]Because the idea that<DELETED BY TYPE4> who tries to control every aspect of Scientology discussion is not credible. [/bcolor]
[bcolor=#ffff99]<snip>[/bcolor]

I am 100% all in for attacking peoples ideas and actions if I disagree with them, and do it on a regular basis.

But to me,THIS example I provided is a juvenile insult. And an example of at attack on a person, not their actions and/or ideas.

I really don't have the time to go back through Alanzo's postings to pull stuff like that out, but will report it if I see something like that, or the most flagrant instances anyway.

Am I wrong for feeling that an insult of that nature doesn't belong here on ESMB? If yes, I'll STFU.
(maybe, for a little while anyhow)

I agree. I missed that.

<deleted personal insult>

You wanted me to see that, I understood it after those posts were moderated and I was not going to comment on it. You use it again.

This is what you need to understand.

It means that you have no civility and can not separate that which is private from that which is public.

For whatever fault any person may have or not, I find it completely unacceptable to go after someone in that shape or form. It is as rouge as if you would attack someone for their sexuality or family history.

It's an underhand sleazeball tactic, to use a part of that persons dead agent pack to discredit someone. It means you present your self as a person that can not be trusted in any form. It means that all your other points of criticism are invalid by default, since they are coming from you.

Is that really who you want to be Alanzo? Rogue as the devil, mad as a boxer? Does that fill you with a sense of pride that you are willing to hurt someone in that sense?

 

[Emma]

I agree. I missed that.

Fixed, and all quotes of it fixed. I hope.

 

[Emma]

I need to make this clear. Any use of any person history, to taunt or attack another person, on this board or not, will not be tolerated. All posts will be deleted.

I'm not going to say it again. Please don't quote these posts, just report them.

 

[Alanzo]

My use of the name <deleted> for Karen De La Carriere is to remind everyone of a Defense Department, Intelligence trained operative who has controlled and manipulated Ex-Scientologists and their discussion of Scientology on the Internet for decades now.

This is why I use the <deleted> name, right here. This is a screenie of Karen's own LinkedIn page:
