when you engage with the trolls

[MitchiestInge]

. . . 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.

My default setting needs a bit of work, I think.

Perhaps I need to drink more Irn Bru and Lucozade. Or more wine.

I wish I had done the parp

Oh god, I'm laughing at it again. Like, helpless, tearful, six-pack-rupturing laughter.

Oh no, I'm too nice, apparently.

Ironically, exDP (for future reference, exDP is not DS's dad, xP is) told me the other day that I need to tell people to "fuck off" a bit more often

Don't worry, I don't usually take his advice

I actually have tears rolling down my face. That Parp was so funny.

For some reason I am now imagining that scene in Braveheart as done by MNetrers:

They may take our lives, but they'll never take our PAAAAAAAAAAAAARP

I seriously want to know from MN, why sexism and misogyny are allowed around here, while other hate speak isn't.

Why is racism not allowed but sexism is MN?

What's the moral difference?

We all want to know that, HB

But since we ain't getting any answers despite repeatedly asking, we are talking about parps instead

Thanks, Cotes... My drink just made a quick exit via my nose.

We could make a "Parp" thread... Replace a word in a line from a film, tv show or song with "parp"...

HereBeBollox... Oh come on... We need the misogyny to keep us in our place...

Otherwise we're at terrible risk of getting uppity. Or worse still, hysterical.

Yes, never EVER leave wimminz unattended. You never know what they'll do!

no, not unattended, unoccupied

as in not washing your socks, cooking, cleaning, giving you a blow job and other wise idle

it only makes their poor tiny brains get too active, and it's not good for them

Well now, i'm happy all hostility is gone :)

Cuddles all round

Eww, get off! That's not necessary, thank you.

FINE! Walks off sulking

That parp was the best parp ever in the whole history of MN.

Although chibi strode into the thread with a couple of brilliant parps too. In fact I think one of them was a parpity parp parp.

Noo, edd... You're supposed to type walks off parping

Re the sexism thing - is it because racism and homophobia are pretty firmly against the law, whereas sexism isn't commonly recognised as hate speech?

Not that it's ok, just that MNHQ are following govt and societal rules, not setting their own iyswim.

Parp

Sorry, I shouldn't have bent over so quickly.

Shall I start with Parpy films?

The Parpinator

Eat, Parp, Love

Gone With The Parp (that would have worked in the original, though)

Parp Fiction

Bob, I did bring it up on the thread concerned

Just not with you

P.S; I Love Parps

The Princess And The Parp

Mary Parpins

Coronation Parp

Stop with the parps

My tummy is hurting !
