Listen assholes... (just kidding). I'm noticing a trend on PFF. Lots of name calling. I'm not sensitive... and I know we get pissed at people who seem to enjoy trolling... but I'd like to suggest we hold back on name calling. I'm not Cliff... so clearly this is only a suggestion.
As much as Rinse drives me nuts... I don't think he deserves the name calling.. love you guys... hehe

Well, that's all fine and good, but what if someone really is a toad licking monkey waxer? Hmmm?

I remember when T/OT used to be fun.
People would occasionally bicker, but it was all fairly good-natured.
Not any more.
Randye & Tony Kania are the worst thing to ever happen to this community.
They seem to be so empty inside that seeing people have fun is actually painful to them.
They know nothing but attack & disrespect.
All the while claiming they encourage differing views & opinions.
They are both hypocritical douchebags.

Trolling? Or expressing ideas that do not line up with what other forum members like to see on display when they come here? Judging by their reactions when they use the Reply to Topic function.
I check box most of my Topics as "Politics."
As far as Name Calling, and I am singling out the serving POTUS as an example, I have talked about him as "President Trump", "Donald Trump", "POTUS", and sometimes just "Trump."
I've not ever called (President) Donald J. Trump a "douche-bag" or a "fascist." Nor have I called him a "racist." Not directly. It could be an implication from some of my posts, but I have not been harping on it. I have not ever stated or even suggested that he has an urgent need for psychiatric counseling, and then repeated that statement in Topic after Topic, more than two or three hundred times. Nor have I made a habit of referring to him as a "drooling moron." Not even so much as "a moron."
This is what an unmoderated forum can become... "Lord of the Flies."
There is one active member that raises the question (for me), does he actually have the capacity to express himself in a civilized way? And if he cannot demonstrate that capacity, is he being well served to come here? Seems like there ought to be (maybe there is) a place or a website that offers a professionally guided form of group therapy for people that suffer from what has been called --not to everyone's liking, but I think it's a useful description--"Internet autism."
What is "trolling"..? Is it best defined in the same well known way as pornography? In other words, we can't define it in any exact way, but we know it when we see it?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 06-07-2019).]

Trolling the term I believe comes from fishing. You put the line in the water with bait on it and drag it around the lake hoping for a bite.
"Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e.g. when fishing from a jetty."
