Of Trolls And Flamers
 

Let me start this off by saying i get bored, real bored. Bored to the point of quasi-masochism in that I sometimes venture outside the warm loving halls of NPF and into the uncharted and unforgiving realms of unmoderated forums.

SHOCK!

Now in the short time I've been doing this I'v been flamed and trolled like you wouldn't believe! I'm just going to post a few of the more hilarious conversations here for the amusement of others, and feel free to add your own anecdotes and tragedies.

first one start with a guy digging up some pictures of another poster that are funny looking.

(you see they reposted a picture I have on my profile, I thought it looked like i have makeup on too)

I'm just amazed really, it's too far fetched to get angry at. XD

It's pretty traditional for internet arguements to turn into people screaming "You're gay!". It is not known why they do this, but I suspect it must be something to do with alien ghosts using mind control powers from space, because humans really shouldn't be able to act so stupidly.

Yeah, people are funny like that. That's the bad part about the internet - Hidden behind your powerful veil of secrecy, you can transform into a complete social 'tard, diving into the depths of ass-hattery.

There's little tiffs to be expected, for certain. But the random insults are indeed a far-to frequent occurance.

It gets better when you get to the higher 'tier' of sites. In these, the assholes are eloquent and can be argued with.

Psst: metafilterrrrrr! kuro5hinnnnn! *runs*

Is it wrong to be amused that there's the same exact grammatical error in both of the URLs to the "funny pictures" in the original post?

"Your a fag"

What is an aphag and where can I get one?

It's not so bad, it's fun to be able to wail and make a complete ass out of yourself with no fear of "being banned". I mean really, what's the worse they can do to you? If being classified as gay is the worst someone can throw at me in a flame-warrior, link me dude! lol, cause that's just sad..

You havn't been in a real flame-war till you've hit home. When you're in an argument, dig dirt on that person to talk about thier dead mother or something. Now THAT's a flame-war!

And then there are the Gfaq users who need a category all to themselves. They are not only idiots, but they don't have good grammar, and are some of the most stubborn people I have ever seen. And I should know...I'm from there.

I've never felt more like an inexperienced RPG character than at the moment I read this.

Huh. Interesting.

I hope you don't mind that I don't like you, now. Honestly, no offense... But someone's dead mother? That's some neva-forgive action right there.

At least they wrote in human english - but I'm getting sick of the ubiquitous use of annoying images in replacement of actual wit.

Really? Becuase I always found those really hilarious. Maybe I'm just immature.

That actually made me laugh, and I was tempted for a moment to get the "ya rly" one - but I don't want to be a hypocrite until at least my tenth post.

Aww, I can't use the "no wai!" one until you do...

People bang their heads against walls too much. It's the main reason a lot of people would prefer to act immediately rather than think.

In such cases, it could either lead to trouble or no.

i.e: You encounter a dragon! You have three choices! Is it
a) run at it and smack your sword into its skull
b) steal something and run
or
c) attempt a Hadoken that would unfortunately fail to work?

Just depends on the first letter that comes into that person's mind.
Most of it's a matter of thinking and opinion, which would determine either anger or amusement.

I like those good ol' days that a post would just be one kind of font, no pictures, and the only wit was to use the English language... but in my case it would be japanneez:D
