The trolls here are a particular breed of childish, but the fan club is an even more puzzling lot to me. (You realize that since fadec’s brand of humor requires anonymity, a thread highlighting his troll status is the worst thing you could possibly do for him.) Further, those who find entertainment value in the outrage show they create tend to be ironically one sided about it. (They love a good “diversity=racism” troll, but melt at the “fire all anti-vaxxers” ones; or vice-versa.)

For most of us, trolls are like the kid who keeps coming to the grown-up party & trying to join the conversation. We’re trying to keep a conversation together & we’re generally unamused by their attempts to derail it. As with the dinner party, those most entertained by the toddler are typically those who weren’t really keeping up at the big-kid table to begin with. Can’t have a circus without clowns, though, I suppose.

 

Dang fadec, no need to gloat

 

Sounds like you don’t have children. Where is Sgt Hulka when you need him…

 

And being the morally superior/judging everyone from your high course acting like you know more than everyone else persona is ACTUALLY more annoying.

Id rather hang out with FADEC.

 

Uh oh, does this mean my official fadec fan club membership & decoder ring will not be arriving in the mail? Perhaps if you considered my smug, arrogant persona a way of irritating forum patrons like yourself you’d find it more amusing? Just a suggestion…

 

This is quite a plot twist. I thought the troll off was between bobby and fadec. Guess we’ll have to settle for the 2nd stringers.

 

Well played. You definitely put in more work than FADEC in the troll department.

Crap Bobby, this his alter sign in?

 

If fadec doesn't respond by close of apc business tomorrow, I guess I'll take the win via forfeit.

 

The hero we don't deserve. Someone shine a light in the sky.
