alchresearch Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 some people DO need to take a step back They sometimes do - when someone posts a point they cannot answer! My questions about their reasons for being here seem to be being ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 The troll usually posts anti Jewish crap. i dont read his either cos i know its the same old crap as i said its an obsession by the same few people who are biased on one side or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Dome Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 check my posting history and youll find i welcome people to the forum, post happy birthdays, post to help people in the computer section, post about history in the history section, very occasionly in the sports section and i also post in the most stupid threads i can find..........i am not obsessed by the political / religious threads far from it some people DO need to take a step back Your post history is not of interest to me and its your so-called total non-obsession with political/religious threads has caused this thread. All you had to do was avoid those threads as i do your post history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm tiring of the incessant flood of political / religious threads now, its just constant, most have no actual content apart from the odd soundbite and or pasted bit from some unknown biased website or a youtube video. They are normally posted by trolls who have a very one sided agenda and dont actually want a debate just throw as much crap out there as they can. Infact most arent even actual members just people rejoining under assumed names just to post more biased opinions. Hypocritical Melthebell at your best. You know you start your own fair share (more than) of them. IF you don't like them, perhaps you should stop starting these sort of threads then.

L00b Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 SF isn't likely to turn into a propaganda tool anytime soon. Politically, it's forever going to descend into Labour v Tories and/or Public v Private arguments. No matter what the OP. Religiously, likewise it's forever going to descend into extremist v moderate views. Again no matter what the OP. Plus ça change and all that. It's exchanging opinions, often about polarising topics, so entirely to be expected and normal human behaviour (...I hope! ) By the very nature of the medium (persistent - what you post stays and sticks), some 'characters' get seen by regulars for what/who they are, either very quickly ("zachs" or somesuch, was it?) or gradually through posting history/patterns. And get ignored. Normal order of things, whether on a bulletin board or in a pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I haven't paid any attention to the troll du jour with the anti-Hamas agenda. Aside from the single issue posters, we all use the forum for our own ends to some degree. If I am in the mood for some serious debate, then I'll gravitate towards certain threads, if I fancy a more of a banter and a laugh, then I stick to the more lighthearted ones. And I do think that the term 'troll' gets misused, many use it erroneously to describe someone with views that are diametrically opposed to theirs. I've been accused of it before and I can assure you that I am not (I may look like one however but that's a different story), I do not have the primary intention of provoking members into an emotional response or upsetting anyone. re:- bold to me thats not using it for your own ends tho thats using it it as it should be, post what comes naturally, dont have an agenda, use the whole forum, have fun as for the troll thing i TRY to honestly only call people a troll if i really think they are and fit the definition, the one today WAS a troll, he had one agenda, shout a loud of soundbites, post youtube links to back it up purely to get a reaction, then whinged when it got deleted. theres plenty of "right wing" posters that i dont believe are real, they are second / third / fourth accounts deliberely set up to troll and propagate certain right wing views purely to get a reaction.

muddycoffee Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't think that people are doing anything annoying or wrong if they only wish to post on politics and religion threads. There are many long standing members who only post about pets and others who only post about football. SF is a wide ranging general discussion forum, it seems to me that it is what it is for.

Question about racism Christian sacrilege 'Women-friendly' mosques praised Miss USA - Rima Fakih Racist bomb maker jailed haha nice try, and 10 points for being an obsessive stalker how many posts have i got? how many political threads / posts would the percentage be? what about the myriad of posters that have say 5 posts and ALL posts are in the same type of threads or 5 threads started? as i said above i post in all sorts of threads / sections how old are some of those threads? it seems to me theres more and more threads on the same subjects appearing lately, and "users" appearing posting in em the point is i believe theres people ACTIVELY using the forum as a platform, im not sure i do, yes im on one side but i dip in and out of them for example how many political threads have i posted in today? two that got deleted..........which were purely to say the thread was of no importance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
