Entwhistle Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Makes a change from you trolling don't it Entwhistle. At least I attempt humour in mine. I am merely attempting to get peoples opinions! TOUCHY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonofAna Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I am merely attempting to get peoples opinions! TOUCHY! Nah! Not touchy. Just wonder why you feel the need to argue pointlessly if not to get some adverse reaction from people. A troll is someone who sets about purposely trying to upset people by posting diatribe on threads that are supposed to be meaningful discussions.

So do you think that I am trolling in this thread and attempting to cause an argument or do you think that I am merely discussing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonofAna Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 ps. There are other ways to increase your post count rather than just posting meaningless one liners. I have noticed in certain other threads that you really do enjoy doing this, as well as replying to people with multiple one line threads. Is your post count really that important? Contact the mods - you can have mine if they mean that much to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonofAna Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 So why do you post so many pointless one liners? I refer especially to the thread you yourself started concerning social security - but there have been others. I am not sure but you are certainly heading in the direction of a wind up merchant - and that is why so many people accuse you of trolling - or so few accuse you of it often. In response to your original post then - I would say that there is a very fine line seperating a discussion, debate and argument and the three are easily mistaken.

discodown Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Can you explain where the lines are drawn between the different entities?This is purely my opinion. A discussion is an attempt to resolve a difference by finding a mutually beneficial solution to both parties A debate is merely two parties taking opposing viewpoints and attempting to prove one side of a scenario is prefereable to the other and no mutual benefit is sought An argument is two parties getting emotionally involved and taking a position where no resolution is necessarily sought but damage is the desired result to the other party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that VERY few accuse me of it often. I can count them on one hand. They keep monotonously repeating the same thing in the hope that people will eventually agree. Actually there are only one/two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
