Why Is The Trolling Allowed In This Section?

[Kardashev]

I thought it was meant for serious debate on topical news items. It just seems to me like a regular bickering fest between warring factions. I don't post very often on here and I think I may be reducing that.

Anything friendly is fine by me, atheist.

I don't have much problem with TTT, gulliver1 or anybody else on AB. People and threads are pretty easy to ignore, you just have to learn the knack and it can take time. Much like enjoying a film involves "a willing suspension of disbelief", taking part in some AB threads involves knowing when to let it go, crediting other readers with some intelligence and leaving them to draw their own conclusions about the absolute nonsense being posted by your antagonist ...

Don't tempt me, Darling! XX

That was meant for Pixie.

Why is so much Trolling on this Thread ?.

[anneasquith]

PP. reported. :-)

[pixie374]

Maybe a little off-course, but no trolling I can see. But, thanks gully, on my second attempt, for your confirmation that speaking to you, is a waste of time.

[gulliver1]

.........A troll a day keeps the doctor away.......

[pat2604]

What a load of drivel. Playground bullies spring to mind. Actually I agree with Pixie about TTT.

Why does this thread still remain?

[bednobs]

I also don't disagree with pixie. At least ttt can when needed take the pee out of himself.

... if only he could write in English with none of the strange acronyms and insulting names.

[archibaldy]

It's not trolling in my opinion, just the news headlines as interpreted by either the Daily Mail or the Daily Mirror depending on who's posting it.

[bednobs]

In all honesty Susan I'm not sure he's got the intelligence or self awareness to realise if he stopped he'd get much more engagement from people.

bednobs; "TTT you must completely lack self awareness to not see that your posts are just as tedious as gulliver's posts to most people, and that you do exactly what you accuse him of doing most days " - as I said above, gulliver is nothing like me, for example.....
1) I debate with people and answer their follow up questions
2) I provide links and information
3) I do not rave against people who disagree, I rave against people who post insulting and/or contrarian posts with no reasoning or argument, just to be rude.
4) I am prepared to back my opinions with my own money.

bednobs: "Ps, you dont answer questions posed to you when they become uncomfortable (i still haven't seen an answer to a question that several people asked you about "several" FPNs you got that you werent guilty of, but paid anyway cause it was easier) " - I do if I possibly can but I am not going to give out private details. The details of FPNs that I paid are not relevant to the overall point of the post.
