Anyone else 'member the mask mandate being the greatest deprivation of civil liberties since the Japanese internment camps. I 'member.
How many “threat or menace” posts can someone inspire and still get taken seriously?
The folks on this board seem to have such a spirit of generosity. It is the thing that keeps me coming back.
The problem with trolls is that they chip away at this spirit. The benefit of the doubt is exactly that a benefit. When someone continually exploits the kindness/patience/understanding of a community trust erodes, the spirit of generosity slips away and the benefit becomes harder to give out . See: Alex Jones, Kanye, the general polarization of the US.
Being surprised at Warrior’s trolling is like continually putting your hand on a hot stove and then complaining when it burns. Sure, sometimes the posts are sincere and provide decent information but when the trolling goes super-saiyan it’s hard not to see their entire presence on this board as a self-serving endeavor that boils down to a child yelling “Please look at how smart/special/important MY thoughts are.” Yes, we get it. Daddy sees you now.
It is an “objectively” shitty thing to exploit a communities goodwill for your own self-interest. The jokes not funny and it fucks up the fun for everyone who is here to actually connect.
