Mind Games
by PenultimateManStanding » Sat 31 Dec 2005, 13:36:43
Believe it or not, there are some people whose greatest joy in life is fucking with other people's heads. Some of them actually like to go around the internet and popping into various forums will get the feel of the place and the characters and proceed to try and bug the shit out of them all, each and every one. Why? How the hell do I know. I've met people like that in meat space and I know just how awesome their talent can be. It's a form of narcissism, I think, but don't ask me, I'm not the expert.

Ever notice how the biggest trolls are always accusing everyone else of being a troll while simultaneously denying doing any trolling themselves?
I think we all know who the real troll here is, Trollstoyevski.

What will arrive first? Peak Oil or the Second Coming? My money is now on the latter.

That's funny. Trollstoyevski 
I don't mind what you do, it's OK with me. Just warning folks who might otherwise get upset and bent out of shape: you can't beat a malignant narcissist at his game. Don't try. There are easier ways to keep your cool and have a nice day. Trying to battle someone whose reason for living is to upset other people is a waste of time.-

Here's some honest feedback. I kid a lot but this post is as serious as a heart attack.
Your problem is that you set yourself up as a target for trolling by being so deadly earnest about everything. Almost every post you make is a whine about someone else joking around or trolling instead of treating the subject with the gravity that it deserves.
You really need to get this. It's you; not them.
From your posts you sound young and naive. My bet is that you're a high school senior or a college freshman. You sound like the type who volunteers to be a hall monitor and rats out the kid who threw the spitball in class. There's a reason why I made a joke last week about you and wedgies.
Here's my advice: relax, chill, and for god's sakes stop being so deadly earnest about everything--including feminism. Women don't need you protecting them. To act that way is the real sexism.

We can all see here that a little mud-slinging is no reason to get mad. Games can actually be fun. The world's a big tent, and everybody gets to play. Now everybody: play nice and we'll all have a big laugh.
