$1000 Challenge to Max Eberle

[Blue Hog ridr]

You don't have worry about self awareness. There are a couple of people on this board that are more than willing to tell you whether you are a Hater, Troll, or a Negative Nelly.

Apparently I hit Troll status yesterday. And by 2 people so it must be true.

My wife holds group sessions at the hospital for several types of afflictions. Have to ask her if she has an Iternet Troll group.

I know that she has called me by many different names over the years but never the dreaded T word.

Hence forth, I shall be known to one and all as Blue Troll.

Signs...

Blue if you would have recognized the signs you would have seen you were headed down that path. Lurking is a gateway action that leads to trolling...oh if you only knew! That's ok buddy well get you help.

I got it. I take it you were also joking about the committee thing? {shudder}

A camel is a horse designed by committee.

Unfortunately I was not joking about the committee. I think that when accusations of theft, fraud, pedophila, and other criminal acts are made they should have to be run through a filter on this forum considering the harm they can cause if not true.

I do not want to censor anyone I just want them to have proof before they make serious accusations of gross misconduct.

I myself have been guilty of taking something I was "told" and running with it without actual proof even though the source is credible. I should have kept it to myself and not been the one to make an accusation.

I feel that the high profile members of the forum who have more to lose should be accorded some buffer against malicious accusations. If the accusations have merit then let them through and the accused defend his position if he can. But if they are baseless then do not allow them on the forum. Kind of like a newspaper is a filter of sorts for such accusations.

I can imagine that every major newspaper receives claims of wrongdoing and they obviously dont print the ones that they cannot verify. The same should apply to moderated forums in my opinion. One class of moderators should handle threads like these.

They take sides on a lot less than this but pretend all you want. You very obviously have a dog in the fight because you started the whole thing based on unsubstantiated gossip and you must think the moderators will be on your side when push comes to shove.

It's really precious, too, the way you're telling other people to take it off the forum because they're questioning the character assassination that you're totally responsible for.

I can't see who is reposible for character assasination as Tor issued a statement and a few people on here have taken sides some supporting Tor and others not.

It was a joke. Do i seriously have to explain every piece of humor with a smiley?

You must be new here John.

This is the internet:

- You may make jokes if they are marked with a smiley.
- The smiley can and will be used against you.
- Claims of, "you meant it but you put that smiley there to get away with it!!!!~!one!@" will be rampant.
- People will take everything you say out of context.
- If you don't use smileys then you are racist against them.
- Always, always, always wear your helmet.
