Coping with Trolls and Derailers

There have been some very persistent posters on here recently - some of them funny (unintentionally), and some of them not - dragging threads off track so we have to go back and explain something over and over again. I'm all for a lively debate, but there always comes a point when you realise that they are not listening at all, are on a blatant wind-up mission, or are just insulting posters with no intention of debating the original issues.

If we don't want this to happen, and bearing in mind that some people spot the pattern quicker than others, I was going to suggest that we have something like a warning word/phrase that could alert other posters to the fact that they are wasting their time. What do you think? Is this a stupid idea?

Saying "ah, a troll" just adds fuel to the fire you see. But if you were to say "I blame Princess Michael of Kent" or something, and then everyone disappears...well it might work? Grin

Why yes. Leading the viewer to believe I am being an aggressor.

Among other things.

Quite a nasty routine you lot have to target non conformist females with on here.

SolidGoldBrass · 14/08/2010 12:00

Hahaha, look at it go. I'm all in favour of kind treatment for utterly deranged bucketheads ie not actually locking them up and shooting them full of thorazine, but a bit of virtual poking with a stick now and again is not unethical.

YouDontWantToKnow · 14/08/2010 12:06

Subversive verbal and psychological abuse veiled by feigned attempt to present it as a good quality in one's character while followed up with justifying the antagonizing as 'not unethical'.

No. It is stating what I am viewing.

Mirror mirror on the wall.

Reversal onto the target to place blame and substantiate unfounded accusations in the structured targeting profile designed around the target.

YouDontWantToKnow · 14/08/2010 12:15

No need. I am all about Speak out. Act up. Educate.

My ego is not in the least bit threatened. Nor is my identity as a Woman.

If I were threatened, I would be gone by now. But of course, that would be the whole point for the well rehearsed routine.

Isolation, threatening atmosphere, degradation.

Thought crime accusation basis for propaganda hinged on thought directive toward acceptable programmed format.

Yes. I am. I am giving away quite a wealth of information regarding the abuse cycle and the abuser profile.

I hope it becomes beneficial to some who have the opportunity to become aware of the root.

Shall we open a book on when its next break will be? and whether that's for changing the nappy, a quick crack pipe, leting in the pizza delivery boy or merely opening the window to scream at the passing buses by way of a change of occupation?

YouDontWantToKnow · 14/08/2010 12:27

Learning about learned behavior re-action is imperative in real activism.

If you ever wish to get to the next step of course.

YouDontWantToKnow · 14/08/2010 12:29

"when it's next break"

Degradation, objectification, dehumanizing propaganda paired with a perceived 'safe environment' in the company of peers aligned with the targeting profiling.
