as I've said before. it's not your place to come up with your own definition of troll and then try to force it on people. that's why everybody got so mad at you!

Ahh now THAT makes sence.

You got it in your head that a "troll" was pretty much whatever you said. We can't have this if you're gonna be a moderator. You go by the established rules, and NEVER make up your own.
So... it'd be a good idea to stop with your troll obsession and simmer just a little, then things will be allright :-D[/QUOTE]
Ah ok. Now then. Just let me explain. I didn't come up with it all by myself. I've taken what a troll is through other forums and such. To me it does make sence in that in a community where we are talking about a subject like M$, why would anyone sighn up and then make up a thread that is going to make a lot of people upset.
Like take this given exsample.
Lets say I made up a forum that stated why tomatos are bad and the proven reasons and facts that state why those tomatos are bad and also offer an alternative like oranges. Well a typical troll would sighn up and start stating tomatos rock on an anti-tomato sight no less
EDIT: I have nothing against tomatos! I love it in ketchp, allthough I don't know if i'd count ketchup as a vegetable, LOL)
Characteristics of a troll is always an attack on a subject or a person. Why the 'anti-tomato' group sucks or whatever.
I compounded spelling and grammer. Beceause no matter what troll I run into on whatever community posting whatever offensive thing, they allways makwe an attack on spelling and grammer. Usually because there was no orginal point of the main post of the thread anyways.
I was just looking at it as a logical prospective since I do care alot about this community and I think that this is a VERY great site and forum! If anything it is this fourm I use when I'm confronted with someone that repeats the same m$ FUD over and over again! There is very valuble information here! Even in the lounge.
Because there are so many bush threads and it has been deeply discussed we can see the points and the counter points of each conversation. I do however believe that most discussions in the lounge has not been light harted as of late.
So maby that is part of the problem, I don't know.
So Jimmy James. Thanks for you input and making light of the situation. :D

I do hope everyone remembers where they are at. Look at the address in the browser, look at the icons and text everywhere.
I don't see anything about this being a politics discussion board. Its about moving from MS to "other", switching from Windows to a different, and perhaps better OS. Its about computers. Its not about Bush. I see no reason why there should be politics discussed on this board. The only argument is that the Lounge is open and free, and we should be able to talk about anything in there. Well, to be frank, fuck that shit. I always thought the lounge existed to escape serious discussion and to just fuck around. Maybe I am wrong, but I seriousely doubt it. You wouldnt want this place to lose focus like erudition did. Bad things happen. I feel that it would be a good idea to ban political threads and discussion from the MES.
Stilly:
i dont know about outlawing politics but we should try to keep some kind of rule, like for every post in politics try to have about 4 or 5 in other categories.
not so much a rule as a guidline

I'm not even going to bother. Like jj and I have just stated we are both sick of it. I've just explainied my side and again you are repeating quirks accusations without any kind of proof. Your just saying I'm a bad guy just because I do not think and act just like you. Not everyone in the world is going to agree with you :rolleyes:
Quite frankly if you are sick of the *BS* then don't post it and stay on topic! Teh topic is who is to be mod of the lounge! Its nothing to do with that idiotic rhetoric! Get over yourself! :rolleyes:

We could get rid of the lounge completly. That would solve the arguments of off topic arguments in an already off topic section.
or call it something else? maby a place like movie reviews and stuff. Or something.
