Feeding Trolls Options

[Andy Capp]

Andy, as you realise, you are not forum manager, so I/we can reply to whoever/whenever we want to. I don't normally feed trolls but 'ya know what I was bored and it was entertaining, and I may well feed the panda again, but it is not to 'annoy' YOU

panda is clearly trying to disrupt the the allotment thread. While you and others might find it fun, there might be others who don't, so if you must play games like this would you please just create another thread?

For me, feeding trolls is akin to allowing noisy kids to 'run amok' in a pub when you are trying to have a conversation with a friend.

Andy, I am sorry but every thread is disrupted with user/danny/rg fight EVERY time, (obv they are not trolls) BUT we have to put up with it. Your the only one who keeps going on about it.

Because people might not say anything doesn't mean people are happy about it. Most subscribers don't post.

I wasn't so offended by you posting to panda, it was an open post I made. You chose to make it personal with your snotty reply directed at me. Using capitals is also rude on a forum when you are addressing someone.

Fair enough if you enjoy your troll baiting, but I wish people would find another forum for that where the subject matter is unimportant. Also, remarks like 'lighten up' are not only patronising, they are rude. I'd like to think the posts I made on trolls were respectful to the regular posters and up until you took it personally.

Of course I am going to make it personal to you because you were the only peson making a complaint - publically. What else would you expect Andy? I don't get it....

Saying lighten up is not rude or patronising, telling people to not reply to the troll because you didn't like it, IS rude. I never used capitals in all of my reply, only words I wished to emphasise.

You were tring to 'alert' people that Panda is a troll, fair enough but I think most people 'got' that. I may of been sarcastic but come on Andy you can handle a bit of sarcasm surely, you wouldn't post on the forum otherwise!

For people to treat how they are treated, to be honest.

In your opinion it might not, but to me it is.

If that is what I did, I might agree, but as that isn't what I wrote in the post that you replied to, I don't.

I didn't say your whole reply was capitalised, but the language in conjunction with the placement of the capitalised words were, at very least, antagonistic - and I think unnecessarily so.

I was appealing to people to avoid the trap set by the troll. You decided to take it personally and I regret that.

Oh geez, I seriously can not continue with a debate about this, it is ridiculous. I could answer all your points above with a reply but it is seriously not worth it.

End of the day, I/others may feed the trolls, you don't like it - fair enough.

FWIW I am glad you outed the troll for people who may not of known

You don't think it matters that you might have been offensive?
