1. "Dumb post" threads and variations thereof
2. The recent (and thankfully over) "to the guy....." threads
3. Trolling (anyone else notice an upsurge?)
Others? |

I'd like to add to this rant, any post that starts out, "HEY DAVE: Look what X user wrote".
Those are unbelievably stupid as well. |

Baj- "trolls" are folks who try to bait others into stupid and pointless debates, usually by making very inflammatory posts. MOL has its own special breed of troll; those who obtain alternate IDs for the specific purpose of trolling.
Although, looking at Lil's cute little guys, I feel like we should come up with a new name for these dumb, bored people. Why insult the little naked hairy creatures? |

Greentree,
Sometimes trolls try to raise the level of awareness in people that do not seem to otherwise have a pulse and that do not seem to want to acknowledge or understand the ridiculous and selfish behavior that many people here in our community engage in. Please see "Pet Peeves" section for specific examples of such behavior.
What are you afraid of? |

I dumbest trend I have seen lately is all these men putting gell in their hair to stick only the front of it up. The rest of the hair is short though. You know what am saying.... If you walk by a club in NYC at night, it the the haircut that all the young guys in the silk shirts have. I call it the modern mullet. I can't imagine people not knowing this fad, but here is a picture off of google for those who don't know.

THE worst trend of all time, started this decade, is seeing and extracting a policital angle in every friggin angle possible.....it's truly impossible to do anything anymore without somebody determing that your a lib or conserv....
He shops at Kings? F**king conservative....
She shops at Whole Foods? Godd**m liberal.....
You read the NYT? Lib idiot....
You get the drift...it's rampant on this board (even in seeming innocuous posts in "Please Help" and "Home Fix-it", but even worse out there in day-to-day life.....
I'm 100% fed-up with political debate and discourse which seems to have devolved into a Dr. Seuss-like world of labelling those with Stars on their chests, and those without Stars...

I shop at Kings and Whole Foods
I read the NYT and the WSJ
I do not believe in the death penalty for child molesters because I think that it is a waste of tax dollars and they should just be killed in general population. Although, it would be most preferable to leave them alone in a room with a parent armed with a baseball bat.
I have never voted for a Republican in my life; hold my nose when voting for most Democrats and sometimes vote for Socialists on the ballot.
What am I?

What Smarty says is true. I think people take comfort in holding the simple but false belief that people can be divided into two groups.
The real truth is that the world is divided into three groups: those who can count, and those who can't.

Bajou,
With a view toward making the world a better place to live, exposing ridiculous human behavior is my mission.
Please note that while my pet peeves have generated various responses, nobody has expressly responded with anything that resembles a differing viewpoint and so I can only conclude that most of the people here in our online community are largely in agreement with the truths that I have posted.
That makes me feel good. |

Yeah, that's a good version, but most people here won't get it.
OK, it's really that the two groups are those who divide the world into two groups and those who don't.

Brainy, are you single? I'm pretty sure that Libby is. I think the two of you would make a VERY fine couple. Very fine indeed. Two peas in a pod.
As for why no one is taking your bait...? Well maybe because we all think that your original post was so retarded that it doesn't merit even rebuttal. Some of us feel that the best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them rather than to engage them. There is the other method which is sometimes used here on MOL, which is to tease the trolls in an obtuse manner in the Soapbox. That is quite popular I find, and if it is done properly it can be a hoot for everyone else. |

Thank you for your predictable response.
My original posts on both the pet peeves thread and the bris thread (all generally relating to messed up and just plain scary parental behavior) may have been too large a dose of truthfullness for smaller brains to process and come to terms with ...but retarded? I dont think so.
Please feel free to keep ignoring me.
