This is also my opinion on this matter.

It is really only those who've endured vicious trolling that should have feelings on the matter. Try being trolled for a whole fucking year or more, every fucking time you post something and see if you can stand coming here. Your log off idea isn't a bad one. It is idea that if you return it won't matter that you logged off. You are fucking riddled by the shit 24/7. It is annoying, distracting, hurtful, abusive and WRONG. Tolerating it by ignoring it is a good thing.... for those of you who haven't ever dealt with a real trolling.

Being told by an Unregistered three times saying that you are a fat, ugly piece of shit is NOT A TROLLING.

It is when you have not posted in over two months without the same person harassing you constantly that you've been trolled.

So yeah, some people whine too much about a few comments. So fucking what? Ignore them?

Seriously, Would you tolerate it if every fucking time you opened your mouth at work, some shithead spouted... "Shut up you fat fucking whore", "The world would be better if you were dead" and so on?


I think not.

Give me an everlovin fucking break.

Those of you who are untouched by the pestulence of a real trolling can take your opinions of how to deal with trolls and shove it up your ass.

Let the rest of us deal with shit the way we want and need to. Each situation is different, and ignoring things doesn't do shit for fixing what is wrong.

Some people need to be put in mental hospitals.

Have a nice day.

Give me a real smile RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY or I will bombard the board with evil and sadistic smiling graphics.


And I'll post an avatar of myself with a towel wrapped around my wet hair and yesterday's eye makeup streaking down my cheeks.

[Harbinger]

Trolls are like scabs. And like Mom said, if you pick your scabs they might get infected. So I pick at the trolls, and hope for the best.

Too late, I washed my face.

Intrigued,
These words posted by you:

I just received a PM from someone very well known here that informed me she is leaving Lit because of a troll that has been very diligent in hurting her. She asked to not be revealed, and
has removed her pic thread and other links.

This is so sad. She is a loving, giving, beautiful woman that has never said a cross word to a soul, and she will be sorely missed.
I begged you by PM, and I am pleading with you here...take a break, but please don't leave us entirely?

I'm so damn tired of this silliness. Its like a feeding frenzy here. This is supposed to be entertainment and enjoyment for adults...adults.
Its is so sad to see someone that gives so much to us be pushed out like she is nothing, by someone that IS cruel and uncaring. Eventually, this site will be taken over by these trolls and unregistered's who do nothing at all to contribute.

I don't know what I'm asking for here, not much you can say, I guess I'm just rambling....but I hope she sees this and realizes how important she is...not just to me, but to so many of you.

You have just said, in not so many words, what I have said in this thread, which is to take a break, but not to let the trolls get to you entirely. You plead for your friend to understand that she is many people who care for her, even with one or two who don't (what I said, again). I don't get it. I really didn't mean for this to be some attack on my part, nor some bully pulpit from which to tell people how they should respond to trolls. Just some words that should be considered - that one should take a step back and consider that they don't have to play the victim. Anyway, I realize that situations vary, and I would not even begin to speak for anyone else.

 

[Starfish]

Your tone was evident of a very different motive for posting this, Olivianna. The "Get a life" bit says it all.

Don't try and distract from your intent, by claiming that intrigued's motives were the same as yours.


Bullshit on a stick.


You are a bitch for incinuating that anyone who is taking this shit to the extent of leaving lit is 'playing the victim'.

"...that one should take a step back and consider that they don't have to play the victim."

Your fucking right, they don't have to 'play' the victim.

How about THEY ARE A VICTIM, and they are simply responding to the attack defensivly?


Could you be any MORE detached from the reality of this matter? NO? Right, so shut the fuck up about it.

You are not right in posting this thread at this time. You made a bitch ass out of yourself with your tone and it is noted.

Again, and please take the hint...
Have a nice day.

 

[Olivianna]

Again, and please take the hint...
Have a nice day.

I am very sorry for the negative tone of my inititial post. Understand that not everyone is aware of what goes on behind the scenes, so to speak. Just like you don't know what I deal with on a daily basis.

Anyway, I will accept that my post was laden with bitchiness to some extent - but not entirely. And I am sorry for approaching things in that way - the "get a life" was too harsh and I wasn't really thinking about its potential effect when I wrote it.

But, maybe I'm naive to ask...but what is the hint I'm supposed to take? I think I;ve understood your posts, but just wanted to make sure.

Intrigued,
Your PM box is full, so my reply -
I assumed that your quoting of what Starfish had written was a sign of agreement. I was just trying to highlight that much of what I had written was similar to what you had expressed, in different terms however. I acknowledge that I shouldn't have started the thread with the tone that I did. I guess I have seen what you are going through - from afar only - and it seems that with each thread you start, things seem to escalate and the trolls come for the attack. I don't know. I just question the effectiveness of that. Thinking about trolls in general, I just thought to highlight that people are jerks (nothing to do about that) and that harassment doesn't have to be taken personally - particularly on the web - would be things worth saying. Anyway, you seem like a nice person and, unfortunately, it seems that you've gotten a lot of abuse on the GB as of late. It is not my intention to add to it.

Not to be an ass, but it's only words.

I posted this in the BDSM forum, so I'll post it here too:

Free Speech is a mixed bag. You take the good with the bad. In the end, it's all words. Everyone talks up the virtues of tolerance, but I think true tolerance is shown by how one deals with opinions that are despicable to them. To say, "I believe in Free Speech, but that guy crossed the line with that insult! That should be removed!" is to show a complete misunderstanding of Free Speech - and a lack of tolerance.

As disgusting as someone finds trolls, there are those who feel the exact same way about gays, about Blacks, about BDSMers. For every "good reason" one might have for silencing trolls, a racist can come up with four reasons for silencing Hispanics, a homophobe six reasons for silencing lesbians. If each and every one of us learns to tolerate opinions we detest - to learn to turn to the person, say "You're wrong because of this, this, and this," and then walk away without feeling the need to forcibly silence or change that person - we will help make society that much more tolerant of opposing views, and we will ALL be able to say what we feel.

When we can say, "That person is a total asshole, and I told him so, but he has the right to be an asshole and I have the right to ignore him and let him live his life as he chooses (wrong though it may be)," then not only will we truly understand tolerance, but we will be much happier people, because we won't be wasting big chunks of our life obsessing on people and attitudes out of our control.

If I come up and stab you with a knife, it will create a wound, no matter how much you wish it away. You can't ignore a knife.

Words, on the other hand, will only hurt you as much as you allow them to do so. If you don't read them, they don't exist.

There will always be assholes. If you allow the words of every asshole you meet to wound you, you'll spend most of your life wounded.

I believe this with all of my heart.

And at least 12 for gays.

I can think of 20 off the top of my head.
