Sten Guns Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Seems to be fashionable just now to tell someone with a different opinion to you that they're trolling?

Gary34 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Seems to be fashionable just now to tell someone with a different opinion to you that they're trolling? What the **** is this all about man? Horrendous. This shite needs stopped pronto. It does seem less of a football forum now. I agree wholeheartedly. It seem more of a forum for fans who support other teams. The abuse fellow fans get is pretty poor. There must be folk who don't have tough skin that wouldn't want to join for fear of a GIF being posted to drown out their opinion. Very little respect shown, but the folk who troll and mock I personally feel may be lonely, depressed and have very little else to do with their time. Quite sad when you think about it. If you have over 15 posts a day then you may spend too much time on this forum. There's a whole world out there. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 There does seem to be a lot of posters getting their cheap thrills after Saturday's events.

What the **** is this all about man? Horrendous. This shite needs stopped pronto. I only joined up here last week after reading for many a year. Sad to say the above is the main reason I delayed so long. Suffice to say I have already been called a troll lol. I can take it- no big deal - but it certainly puts people off joining up here - that I know from personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Khali Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Sten is bang on the cash imo. Plenty posters call "troll" when losing a debate or disagree with someone's point of view. Also, calls for mods to delete threads and ban posters are quite popular these days. Again, it seems to be when differences of opinion are being discussed.

Phil Dunphy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think some people don't quite get what trolling is. On both sides, you're right.

Nickelstaff Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Trolling is from fishing right ? Putting a lure out there hoping people will bite ? What if the 'lure' is something the person actually thinks though - is that still trolling ? Or just trolling if you are only doing it for a reaction ?

Floyd Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The Troll card is easy to play by those who are losing arguments. Anyone who plays it should be banned. The problem is that there are far too many people on here who have a full deck of said cards and play them constantly to try and get others in to bother. You know the type by now I'm sure, those who can't debate or win an argument, despite being on here morning, noon & night, so resort to alternative means. A bit like the class grass or McCabe if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trapper John Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 JKB can be like one big communal jerk-off at times. Most posters prefer it that way; a lot less hassle tossing each other off than being a lone w * * * * r. That divides the world fairly accurately.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think the longer you have been on here you learn to recognise the real trollers from those with opinions that are less mainstream. You can debate with the latter but the former are best ignored and it is usually the newcomers that bite and keep the trolls in business unfortunately.

Sharpie Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Sometimes reading a thread on JKB my old memory reverts to days back walking a beat in Niddrie. It was not unusual to see a female dog in heat being chased by a pack of males, usually one alpha dog in the lead with a few followers barking and yipping whilst following, the tail end of the group were wee yappers who were never going to compete for the prize anyway, but I guess just yapping with the big guys made them happy.
