I mean, people die and some good shit comes up for sale.


Yesterday's collection is today someone else's recollection.
 
I needed to blurt and I couldn't think of any other place more appropriate. Sorry, AJ.
I was thinking about how much this forum addiction screwed up with my life, and then it occurred to me:

All those trolls that you and I and others can't shake off our backs, and who've been trolling daily for months - years:

It's more than an anger and resentment issue or personality issues or whatever for them.
It was in the beginning, but eventually the trolling has become addictive for them too. The buz they get out of it keeps them going and keeps other emotions (boredom, depression or whatever) at bay.
Because how else can one explain why RobDownDouth, Disgustipated and Emerson keep doing in such a compulsive, visible manner?

Applying the addiction model to trolling will really help Me change my attitude towards the trolls, and I will be more able to use the ignore button for them.

Aren't you typically criticizing others for psychoanalysis?

This is very simple. They think it's fun. You respond and give ample opportunity. Cycle repeats indefinitely.

People always do whats most stimulating. You, dear, are THE SHOW, and I think you get a payoff from assclown attention.

Psychoanalysis is the process of deciphering dreams. Later 'analysts' added behavior and speech. Us moderns cant care less about content, we care about results. For the meaning of anything is what happens after you do it.

1.No, this time I'm not doing it to get back at them or insult them, as I usually do with Emerson.
It was actually an aha monent. A very useful revelation.

Because I know that my lashing out is counterproductive, but I get so grossed out and frustrated
by Emerson, that I just can't control myself and react.

But now that I'm changing my perspective and viewing Emerson as someone who's not in control, as opposed to seeing him merely as a asshole - I Will be able to ignore him.


2.That too.
But compare for example yours, or Fata's trolling of eyer, or oetey's trolling of AJ, to that of Disgustipated or Emerson.
Yours isn't by far as compulsive and abnormal as D + E.

He's in control, of himself and of you. You joked about enjoying being a puppet. Praps you don't realize how much of a puppet you have been.

Really? From the Emerson creep? This is one occasion when I tell you: you Are living up to your
Self-proclaimed misogyny.

In saying that, you are partially right. I enjoy laughing with the more benign trolls. Not creeps like Emerson, tho.

Yes. He's right. That is the first JBJ post I've nodded my head to. It does not surprise me that you are dismissing it, but he's right. You've been The Show. It's entertainment, not psychoses.

It's not misogyny just because you're female. You understand that, I hope. People can dislike you and poke at you and it's not misogyny by default.

I Do realise it, I'm not stupid.
Lack of insight ain't my problem; restraint is.
Emerson disgusts and angers me so much, that I react despite knowing that it's counterproductive.

But I'm sure that now that I realised that Emerson has mental issues on top of being a prick, that I'll feel more empowered and able to ignore him.

So recognize you are the one out of control and change or don't. Most here seem to be ignoring you so the 'show' ain't what it was. Stop blaming others for your lit experience.

Read my edit.

Wtf!
Sean too?

My blurt was meant as a sounding board for myself or maybe AJ, and look at all the gathering.

Praps this is the problem. Do you understand that this is a public forum? You cannot control who will read your posts. Do a PM next time if you only want AJ to read it.

This edit does not paint you in a better light. Have you considered doing a blog? Then you could post your diary posts and control who can comment.
