I'm sorry, but for me that whole thread was the definition of trolling.

The statements that were made were ludicrous at best, and often were in complete contradiction to each other. I stand by calling that particular person out as a troll, and will take whatever punishment / stern talking to that you feel is needed

As far as my personal treatment of n00bz, I try to help out as much as possible in any situation. I have to face the fact that I myself am still a n00b, and will be looked at as such. My goal with being on this forum is to take what I have learned from you all, and not only apply it, but also use it to help others that don't have said knowledge yet. It pushes my buttons though when I come across someone that either blatantly lies, sows misinformation, or uses this place for knowledge and helping to just illicit reactions from others.

If I'm viewed as being in the wrong for my actions then so be it, but I stand by those actions, and my opinion on that specific situation. It's one thing to have ideas, thoughts, and dreams. It is completely different to blatantly lie. It is even worse to be so bad at lieing as to contradict yourself multiple times in the same post/thread.

I am sorry if you view my actions as being wrong, but I will continue to stand by them, and my opinion on that particular thread.

As I said previously, there are many different types of noobs; the one in this case was a 14yo kid wanting to learn as much as he could (IMO)...

There's a simple way to deal with trolls:

:feedtroll:

I see no reason for the abuse that was dispensed in that thread...

I honestly don't see how you can feel that way....it's like: "What thread was he reading?"

This kid was full of poo....sorry....but his legitimate questions were answered....he was talking about engaging in very dangerous behavior....which soon became apparent he was in no way shape or form ready for....are we supposed to just look the other way on that?

What kind of message does THAT chunk out there?

Then ....he quickly developed an attitude....and crawfished all over the place....he was rich...he was poor....yada yada yada.....

Finally....he really lost it and the troll came out completely....I will never be able to figure out why you think we CREATE these trolls....when all we do is expose them....

Look close....the signs are there from post one....

rant over.....

BTW: How'd that little talk go?

Hm,

may I ask if that kid (troll or not) is worth having an argument?

Consider this..
someone that WANTS TO TROLL, can see what he caused (again.. troll or not, not important) and we make ourselves a perfect target for him.

Exposing trolls, yes... more important: IGNORING trolls!
Any reaction they can provoke is a reaction they want to provoke... that's what makes them trolls in the first place.

.... just saying

That's exactly what I'm saying; in any situation, if someone is seeking attention simply to seek attention, the best defence is to not give them any attention!

If, in fact, this was a troll, you guys played straight into his hands & gave him exactly what he wanted...

Possibly running off good members?
If he was a Troll, I am not sure we played into his hands, We had a little fun and ran him off.
If he was a 14yr old, there is still no excuse. look at "youngone" he never acted that way.

I'd say long story short, the summer time heat has us on a short fuse. That was a full-on un-needed headache.

I don't have the patience at the moment for knuckleheads. It's 100+ degrees outside my house. Don't push us Texans (or Aussies, or Canucks, or South Africans) around for a month or two until it cools down! :D

Thanks guys!
