This is a Troll [meta-thread]

[Horacio]

Darkness remarks how many people in RPG.net, Nutkinland, and possibly elsewhere, now have A Silent Wail's famous "My hate of d02 know no limit" as a sig quote.

Horacio explains that after reading such a thread, the temptation is too big...

 

[Darkness]

Darkness points out that there's now an RPG.net debate about how is everyone's favorite anti-d20 poster and that A Silent Wail's single post has managed to catapult him almost to the top of that list even though many others have had to work hard for years to gain the same amount of recognition. The very best among them still beat ASW, however.

 

[Horacio]

Horacio begins a new troll saying how silly is rpg.net anti d20 attitude...

 

[Darkness]

Darkness lectures for 17-odd paragraphs about the differences between EN World and RPG.net and how neither board is better but instead that they are just different in some regards.

 

[Horacio]

Horacio falls asleep trying to read Darkness post

 

[The It's Man]

The It's Man thinks it's time for a piece of a Monty Python skit and posts one.

 

[Ashwyn]

Ashwyn enters and laughs at someone's post, ambiguously, not to indicate whether he is laughing at, or with, the poster.

 

[EricNoah]

Eric Noah arrives way too late to soothe nerves, sees that Darkness has things well in hand, and then starts checking the IP address of the troll, searching the Admin database for alt-IDs. When he finds them he reports them in the secret Moderator's forum, where he also says something rude about the troll's mamma.

 

[Enkhidu]

Enkhidu notes silently that this troll has broken even on the recognized troll point scale, and is now gaining points for the originator.

Then he realizes that he's just given the troll another point...

 

[Dextra]

dextra wades in

First of all, it should be understood that in no way should any opinion expressed by dextra should represent the official stance of the company she owns.
That being understood, dextra calmly reiterates every point made by every poster, nicely organized and removing any inflammatory remarks. Obviously, if everyone simply understood what the other was saying, this could all be resolved peacefully without any further ire.
In the interests of furthering peace and understanding, dextra quotes individual words and follows them by lengthy references from the Huge Heavy Dictionary which graces her bookcase beside her computer purely for such purposes.
dextra doesn't actually express any opinion of her own, but manages to alienate those in the thread by her assumptions that noone knows how to read or write in the thread.
