Do the trolls that continuously come here shoot the fish in a barrel that you are believe whatever hot-button topic (religion/gun control/circumcision are old stand-byes) they're trolling the fuck out of you with? 99.9% of the time, they don't.

And ultimately, it doesn't make a difference.



You're making the mistake of considering the online chat you have with some anonymous asshole on a forum the same as if he was somebody in real life, able to influence real events.

Newsflash: he/she don't.

YOU are giving them that power by getting all mad and replying like if convincing them that AWMAGERDS your point of view is the correct one and come on how can anyone SAY those horrible things and AWMAGERDS! Playing right into their hands.

Now let me ask you this: are you active politically with your local government? When was the last time you went to a municipal meeting? Do you know the names of your local government officials? Have you emailed them about topics that preoccupy you? No?

But arguing with some trolls on a porn webmaster forum will bring about political change and stop nutcases from running the world

If you seriously think real-world change is gonna come out of this place well, let me put some pillows on the floor so I don't hurt myself when I fall off this chair laughing my ass off.

I enjoy your response, atleast you put forward a substantial arguement rather than trying to throw a bucket of nonsensical crap at people.

I'll probably enjoy a small debate with you more than I would laughing and joking at the aforementioned loons, and others who are in this industry but seem to lack critical thinking skills.

First I'd ask you, is that healthy? My ideal troll would be to get as many views as possible, with as many people backing me up as possible, and with as little response as possible.

If that "troll" is nonsensical and perhaps touches a nerve or inspires false belief, would that be healthy?

Healthy is a pretty relative term.

Yes I am active in my locality, always have been. Fund raising, protesting (if needed) Mayor, MP, Whatever, and discussed things with them. Oh know! I must be Illuminatus.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity.

Say what you want about trolling and posting conspiracy theories, there is a sad fact that people will believe without looking for their own evidence. There are also people who take things out of context.
