With all the little references littered throughout the posts regarding specific members and topics being covered I’d rather take away something positive instead of something negative. The fact that I seem to be the only one feeling this way obviously makes me the outcast but It’s okay.

But you aren’t. I, too, found a positive in the whole ordeal: It took attention away from that putrid politics thead.

Cool beans. 😃

Oh hey really? We missed it the first ten times you said it so thanks for making it clear this time.

All due respect, you’re just coming off as annoying now, please continue to share your overwhelming kindness in the politics thread.

Your new designation is …

The message I took away was “I wasn’t loved enough as a child and now I think it’s funny to be a prat on the Internet because I have literally nothing else to do with my life.”

That’s usually how it is with trolls. There’s no deeper significance, no message, no meaning. Trying to ascribe one is like saying the volcano erupted because a god was angered, or trying to read the future through tea dregs.

It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown. It almost seems like a fair number of people here prefer being miserable.

So be it I guess.

More proof that everyone but you is my mini-sock.

I don’t see anything mini about being one of your socks. Troll feets are YUGE!!!

You all sure are a raggedy bunch.

Says only you.

Seems to me that 234 was parodying members like Spuffure.

Originally I referred to it as the “parody experiment”. Maybe I am the sock.

I thought it was Professor Plum in the Kitchen with the pipe.

Professor Plum lives in a hut and doesn’t own a pipe, so he’s out.

StarWarsFan was just a troll who was annoying as fuck.

I prefer to take something positive from it. If you like the negative, that is your choice.

There’s nothing good about a troll.

We still have some here so I’m guessing there must be something good otherwise they’d have been banned long ago.

I don’t.

If you say so.

This is where you and I differ Frink. We are 2 complete opposites. You stand on absolutes while I stand on possibilities. It doesn’t make us bad people it just means we have far more ground to cover than most if we are ever to meet in the middle.

I don’t stand on absolutes, I stand on probabilities, and your theory is much less likely than mine.

Someone coming up with a convoluted (and pointless) plot to teach the forum a lesson vs. a bored previously-banned member. The choice seems obvious to me.

These are only 2 possibilities.

Untrue.

From your point of view it is untrue. You have every right to choose the negative instead of the positive. I do not share your opinion.

Try reading this time. I cut off the part of your quote where you said that because it wasn’t relevant to the point I was making, which is that it’s false to say there are only 2 possibilities of who/what that sock was.

You try reading as well because I don’t agree that there are just 2 possibilities.

Somewhere Hansi64I is laughing at all of us.

Might have been Hansi. Could have been several other banned members I can think of as well. I’d be tempted to think it was Fo if I thought he was clever enough to pull it off.

You’d be lying to yourself if you thought it was me because, while more than capable of doing so, I have no need to do so. IP address matching would prove you wrong even if you did think I felt the need for a sock account here. I have no interest in popularity contests.

As for the whom, it could have quite literally been anyone, not just someone who was banned previously.

These are only 2 possibilities. Since none of us will be told who it was everything is supposition. I prefer to look at it from a positive perspective where you do not. It is your choice.

Joke aside, this thread was ill-concieved.

You are welcome to your opinion of course. I think good, even dialog certainly can’t hurt.

Regardless of whether it was intentional, accidental, or malicious I believe there is some basic validity to the message theory. There is discord in this forum and I do believe that some good things can be taken away from the incident.

Now, I don’t know who it was but I firmly believe it was one of our own. Someone wanted to hold a mirror up so that we could see how foolish and petty things had gotten and that making some changes in ourselves for the better would benefit the community more as a whole.

Hmmm, you seem to be accusing yourself of running the sock. Interesting theory.

I’ll bet you a “forever ban” my IP does not match. How good are you feeling about that theory? 😃

TV’s Frink said:

Would it be considered blatant disrespect towards my fellow members if I said you should probably spend some time away from the forums, or at least away from off-topic?

Your theory is absolutely crazy.

…

With that said, if your theory is correct, the attempt was both childish and futile.

…

I can’t believe I gave your theory a half-second of thought but apparently I’m quite magnanimous.

Since it is directed at me alone, I would say yes, because the same could be said towards you. For the sake of this discussion I am not going to hassle you over it.

I want to quote Silverwook. I am not speaking for him by doing so.

SilverWook said:

I believe we’re dealing with someone who’s all too familiar with the forum, and sowing more seeds of discord between the two of you would suit their purposes. Making things worse around here benefits no one, except a troll.

We had a short lived poster, starwarsfan234, that seemed to be a possible repeat troll. Some people believed it to be HansiG. At this point it’s all guess work. I’m sure our Staff knows who it was but at this point it remains a mystery. All threads from this user were deleted yesterday but the incident left an impression here on the forum.

I, for one, believe that due to the content and timing that it had a purpose, a message. It would seem that there may only be a few of us that saw it that way while most others were eagerly awaiting the ban and reveal of the user in question.

Now, I don’t know who it was but I firmly believe it was one of our own. Someone that wanted to hold a mirror up so that we could see how foolish and petty things had gotten and that making some changes in ourselves for the better would benefit the community more as a whole.

I know there will be some heckling going on during this discussion as it is off topic but please, no blatant disrespect towards your fellow members, this is a conversation for everyone. I would also welcome thoughts from our mod’s and our staff on the incident and what they feel about what it suggested.

Perfect for a cold winter’s night.

Hell yeah!!! Nothing like a little Hobo coffee to make a cold evening riding on top a steam train perfect.

As usual I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

SilverWook said:

I’ve not read every single post. How would I keep sane reading them all? 😉

Just reading some of the thread titles was enough for me, and then the contents of the threads seem to reinforce my belief, that it was done to mock people. I don’t believe it to be coincidence that it happened the way it did.

I will keep my opinions beyond this to myself for obvious reasons.
