>Person shows up on a thread.

>Person writes up a long post about how someone other than themselves is wrong because of faulty reasons. Making assumptions and accusations the whole way.

>Lots of people get mad and write up long retorts to prove person wrong. Thread derailed.

>Person leaves thread, satisfied, and never checks back on the thread to read through the line of people telling him that he's out of his mind.


I like to compare it to a child pulling that one prank, where they leave a flaming bag of poo on your porch and advocate before they get caught.

It irritates me to no end. How can I deal with this?

If the OP is obviously trolling you can report it rather than reply to it :)

I know what you're getting at Seth. Bugs me too. But i just choose to not dwell on it and move on. Nothing you can do about it so why put so much emphasis on it?

And kilden.. non-teens are allowed in teens forums. heh. No rules against it. Only in Teen Chat room do you have to be a teen.

That's a wee bit silly if you ask me. Not keeping calm and carrying on, I mean about the teens forum being teen specific. Then again, I wouldn't be speaking to you right now if that was a rule. S'pose I've got mixed feelings about the lack of rules there. XD

But, back on the topic at hand... I understand. And, I agree. It certainly is a good idea to forgive forget and move on. Sometimes my anger gets the better of me though. Lol.

It's not necessarily the original poster, and usually they don't seem to be trolling. Though, their actions have much the same effect. They're generally people who go into damnation preaching mode and start beating down a particular type of Christian with the Bible. Or, carry a blatantly spiteful opinion which they flaunt, and then advocate before they can receive the flak they create.

I don't notice those patterns too much cause I tend to avoid those types of threads. Like an automatic filter I've trained myself to have. :p

Right... But it does single out a group, or type of people. But, I think my intentions were in the right place...
