This is a Troll [meta-thread]

[tleilaxu]

tleilaxu pretends that horacio's posts didn't make him mad and tries to turn the tables making horacio look bad. he accuses horacio of starting this fight again and blames him for hijacking the original thread.

secretly tleilaxu is pleased at the trouble caused

 

[Horacio]

Against his better judgement, Horacio's anger pushes him to post again, falling once more in tleilaxu's trap and looking again as a hot-blooded quick-to-anger silly boy.

Darkness emails Horacio asking him not to report more tlelaxu's posts because Dinkledog's mailbox has been saturated with Horacio's previous report.

 

[Bagpuss]

Getting bored of this tit-for-tat rivalry (mainly because he isn't personally responsible for it) he tries to remind people of the original outrageous position and inflammatory remarks.

 

[tleilaxu]

tleilaxu posts agreement with bagpuss and without naming names implies that all is horacio's fault. although he states this in polite and formal language, it is obvious to all that it is faux-politeness, the only purpose of which is to make horacio even more angry and to trick him into making himself look bad.

to cover up for this obvious provocation, tleilaxu then writes another extremely long post analysing baraendur's psychological problems.

 

[Horacio]

This time Horacio's anger doesn't trouble his judgement and post a rather uninflammatory but fairly incoherent post about why trolls shouldn't be allowed. And he subtly hints that it's all tleilaxu's fault because of his old idea of a Troll Award...

 

[Dinkeldog]

And now I step in, having read every post, and wondering if it wouldn't be better if a comet just slammed into the Earth obliterating any trace of the human species, instead suggest that maybe we can cool off a bit and get the thread back on track.

I don't use any smilies.

 

[Horacio]

Horacio hides behind Dinkledog as he accuses tleilaxu of having put the thread out of its track...

 

[tleilaxu]

tleilaxu continues to post, completely ignoring dinkledog's presence. he even throws in a hidden political message.

 

[Horacio]

Horacio reports tleilaxu's hidden political message to moderators, and he recieves a polite "Don't report again a f*****g post or your postcount will be reset!" from Piratecat...

 

[Darkness]

Darkness clears up Horacio's double-post and tells tleilaxu to read Dinkeldog's post and then act accordingly.
