How about we, as the OSR, don't feed trolls? How about we ignore them, completely, depriving them of the attention they crave so that they go elsewhere in their search for attention? Giving them any acknowledgement at all just enables them and hurts the OSR.
Man, I hate it when we lose good blogs.
I don't think this makes a "blah blah blah sound," but if anyone thinks it does, leave a comment and I'll pay my Joesky tax.

Great post!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly easier to freeze out trolls in the blogosphere than it is in forums. Visit their blogs and discuss them and it just feeds into their sad little game. Ignore their blogs and delete their comments. Being a wanker becomes boring after awhile if no one is paying attention.
ReplyDeleteWho did we lose? I guess I haven't been paying attention.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, just saw Christian's post. That sucks, and reminds me one more time why I VERY rarely visit YDIS.
ReplyDeleteI'm in complete agreement with you, Staples.
I wish Christian didn't give a damn of trolls. I know I'm missing his blog and vlogs.
ReplyDeleteThere's a better than even chance that Mr. Christian is taking the piss here. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if you read his last post with a sarcastic tone it sounds like the typical dismissal of that sort of bullshit ... 'oh I guess I should take my ball and go home then ... NOT!'.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think he's gone. Pulled the whole damn blog and all that great material from Iridia and his Haldane stuff. Nice job trolls. :(
ReplyDeleteYes well, I was quite pissed about the situation myself because I really liked Christians blog. One of my daily reads. Perhaps I shouldn't havefed him by commenting on his stupid post, but I couldn't help myself. I'm refraining from posting anything on my own blog for the exact reason you mentioned. I don't want to feed the moron any more. Its a shame we lost one of our best bloggers to this coward.
ReplyDelete@ austrodavicus:
ReplyDeleteWhat you said.
I only hope that once this blows over, even if DU is gone, people will stop visiting YDIS altogether. Being a troll is only funny as long as you get fed.
