when you engage with the trolls

. . . is it a personal thing (actually engaging emotionally) or are you communicating with a wider, more silent audience or are there other motivations?

I can't work out why more people don't ignore them, but every now and then the exchanges are unintentionally funny or interesting - although mostly it gets very dull very quickly. Wondering what's in it for them too.

Nope, no misogynistic posts from me. I simply don't always agree with some posts made here. that doesn't mean I'm misogynistic

Oh please Edd I want you banned because you make sick jokes about rape and post misogynistic shite all over the feminist forum in the manner of a troll.

Banned is exactly what you want. Less members of the patriarchy to question your beliefs of course

How I interpret my post and how you interpret it is a matter of opinion

To me it was at the time, but knowing I upset a lot of people by doing so I wont do it again

You only have my word when I say i'm not a rapist. If I were to have raped i'd fully expect to go to prison

90% chance seems to much tbh, do you have an approx figure of rapists in prison?

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate past

Unfortunatly I am in no position to defend myself here or requote what I said because my post will be misinterpreted and reported

All i'll say is a made a long quote that was satire about being a member of the patriarchy and can do some things and get away with

edd...
when i was younger i was raped/buggered and left for dead[strangulation]
this had a profound affect on my life and this led to more abuse.
years later....my dd was also raped..which led her to having mh problems.
she had a child but couldnt look after this child because of her mh problems.
so i lost my daughter and my grandchild because of this gobshite who raped her.
not a day goes by when i dont think of my grandchild and what this rapist has done to my poor daughters life.[my posting name is apt]
do you still find rape something to joke about edd?

Stripey I have had SGB robustly disagree with me too. She and I disagree about some pretty fundamental feminist stuff. I respect her though and find her posts interesting whether I agree with them or not.

edd1337 · 04/09/2011 19:31

Like I said, I did apologise earlier to anyone I offended. As you never actually read the said post you can only go by what others have written

STIWD that makes more sense. I don't understand the equivalence you have made between being emotional and making personal attacks. They are not the same thing, and one does not mean the other.
