2002 Posters' Choice Troll of the Year Awards [accepting nominations]

hey dragongirl

don't you think its ironic that you posted to request people not to post? you don't have to like every single thread on ENWorld...

 

[Dragongirl]

I asked people not to participate, meaning nominated threads for this "award". I didn't ask people not to post, therefore there is nothing ironic. I fear that if people keep nominating threads that will just give encouragement to those people who trolled, or encourage others to beat those nominated.

Edit : Damn typos.

a well crafted troll is a fine thing

BFG: yer right that dnd is evil post is good, but it spiralled downwards to quickly... the Should DND be more american thread lasted about 200 posts before people started to take it seriously...

I guess that it depends on what side of the troll stick you are...

If you troll it, it can be fun.
If you witness it, it could be fun.
If you're trolled, it is not usually fun. And sometimes it's not agreable, even really disagreable. The better done is the troll, the worse is for the trolled people.

So let me disagree. Trolling is not good. It's not a fine thing.
It's bulling. Internet version of the strong kid stealing lunh money from the weak kid, or the aggresive 'initiation rituals' in University Clubs. A bad thing.

this thread isn't about whether trolls are good or not but which trolls you want to nominate for troll of the year.

My bad then, but to my probably biased perception, giving an award to the best something is a kind of price, so encourages the something.

So again in my probably biased opinion, this idea encourages trolling, which is, again IMPBO a bad thing.

from a certain perspective you are trolling on this thread

if you don't like it fine. i don't want this thread to get closed because it degenerated into pro- con- trolls

I know. I posted here against my best judgement, I should have followed DG's advise.

But from another perspective, this thread could be seen as trolling, your idea like a trollish idea and me as a poster trying to stop the trolling.

I think all depends on the perpective, you know. The half full - half empty glass. The world is a perspective matter.

if you don't like it fine. i don't want this thread to get closed because it degenerated into pro- con- trolls

Again IMO, this IS a pro- con- troll argument, sonce your first post is a pro-troll one...

Your mileage may vary, of course

all i'm saying is don't bother with posts you don't like. i think your hivemind threads are annoying but you don't see me spamming them like you are doing here.
