Originally posted by FMFNo dude I don't mean someone that gets to the heart of a contradiction or an inconsistency. I mean someone whose posting history is one of belittling other people by laying insidious traps through the use of loaded questions, false dichotomy, ad hominem, assumptions of guilt and strawman arguments. One looks at your posts as one does gulag soup, vainly searching through it for a fishbone of content only to dredge up some limp piece of cabbage.
If by "inquisitor general" you mean (...and mean to signal your disapproval of...) me being a poster who is not afraid to express disagreement or to ask questions that get to the heart of a contradiction or inconsistency, and won't be easily put off by dodges and deflections ~ then fair enough.
Here is a little gem here, so many nasties in the one post.
Stuff you complain about in others doesn't seem to apply to you so much. Is it a stance you take deliberately? - FMF
contains an allegation of hypocrisy and an assumption of guilt (that there is double standards), a straw man in that it attempts to build an argument on the basis of those assumed values and eventually a loaded question in that no matter how the recipient will answer she will incriminate herself in the process.
A rather excellent example of FMF's insidious posting style in which he attempts to not only cast aspersions on the character of the intended target, but to lead them in a path of self incrimination so that he can belittle them later. Thanks FMF you have been most helpful.
Originally posted by FMFI daresay he's not the one with the fixation. Who posts about whom? Yes, exactly.
Do you believe the people whose personalities you are fixated on here day after day ~ those you start threads about; those you offer spam and copy pastes instead of discussing things etc. ~ have committed "egregious violations"?
Originally posted by orangutanIf you've been following along, it should be clear that there are many kinds of trolling. Most of which you'll find in this forum. The only differences are who uses what kind of trolling.
What is your fixation with trolls all about?
The endless pasting of lists of troll type behaviour (or any other type of list) - you realise that very behaviour could easily be described as trolling?

Aside from Grampy Bobby, in the last few days I have addressed posts to - answered questions by - or had conversations with - drewnogal, GHOST HUNTER, robbie carrobie, Suzianne, wolfgang59, vandervelde, BigDoggProblem, Ponderable, Great Big Stees, Silverstriker, sonhouse, KellyJay, RJHinds, whodey, Dasa, Trev33, HandyAndy, FreakyKBH, Kewpie, vistesd, and divege ...[text shortened]... reads on about 20 different topics. Make sure you don't get fixated on a certain personality. 😉
Way too few.
