And people who come here for the sole purpose of trying to sell their “collectibles” and getting huffy at Frink’s peculiar sense of humor does not qualify as trolling.
This is very disturbing coming from a mod. Whether it was a sole purpose or not should be irrelevant, as it was a completely legitimate purpose. After all, there is a separate section dedicated to trading collectibles. The guy politely made the thread and Frink made a disrespectful and off-topic comment.
So what is then the difference between “peculiar sense of humour” and trolling?
(It must be noted that this was just one of the countless examples.)
There has been a pattern of people only posting about their supposedly rare item that sub forum, and getting upset about the lack of serious responses, and or comments about said items dubious condition.
We’re not Ebay or a SW collectibles site. (Most sellers seem to come here because we tend to come up tops in search engines.) I have tried to be helpful, but some people just get upset when nobody is offering to throw money at them.
If you title a topic “curious” and somebody makes a bi-curious joke, overreacting to said joke speaks more about you than the joke maker.
It is really simple. Facts are: the guy did nothing wrong (no matter what you personally think about his trade), and Frink broke at least one forum rule in this particular example (off-topic posting, but in reality he was also disrespectful).
It is really pointless that you specifically defend him in this particular example anyway, because I could just provide another one.
Digging up stuff from almost three years ago, but unwilling to complain to Jay? Right…
