Who is the Best RatSkep troll?

Post by Robert_S » Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:51 am

Submit your nominations now! On Sept 1st, we'll make a poll and vote.

I nominate Life.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Hahaha! I was going to say Cito, but seeing your nomination, I think I'll second that one. He's trolling himself as owner of the forum by doing fuck all to address anything there.

Dave isn't a troll. He's being trolled by the ghost of Andrea Dworkin. She speaks to him in his dreams!

The best troll on any site has to be the one that is still there
Because a troll that is found to be a troll can no longer troll
I have no evidence that any of the current members at Rat
Skep
are trolls and so unfortunately I shall have to abstain

What does "best" mean in this context?

If it means ability to troll while remaining unsanctioned, and even unrecognised as a troll, then there is really only one candidate, to whom I refuse to respond or even acknowledge.

This person is a specific troll, insofar as he only trolls specific people, rather than the general populace, which is why the blatant trolling has gone almost completely unpunished.

Reference from years ago, even as long ago as RDF, are made - of course, they go over everyone else's heads, so I am accused of paranoia, even when I prove beyond any doubt what they are referring to.

I've yet to encounter a more remorselessly vile "person" anywhere on the Internet or, indeed, life more generally.

As I say, I just ignore it now, the best thing to do with trolls.

But here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights. ~Rachel Maddow August 2010

The Second Amendment forms a fourth branch of government (an armed citizenry) in case the government goes mad. ~Larry Nutter

Now I've got Warren in my head singing:

Still typing in the night"

But I'm not that great with parody lyrics and I'm stuck there. :banghead:
