This forum sucks


Recommended Posts

Why is it that "I won't post anymore" always means "I'm going to start a thread complaining about the moderators"?

 

Rethink what you said.

How so? (it's called sarcasm. You can Google it)

 

No. Ylou're dishonest and wanting to put worrds in my mouth.

I made no representation of any position you have taken, and you have zero insight into what I "want" to do in this regard.

 

I merely sarcastically pointed out that participation here is voluntary — you can leave any time. Obvious reasons to show up and start complaining almost immediately are trolling or sockpuppetry, neither of which go over very well with the staff.

The moderators want to jide me and lock a thread so I'm unable to respond.

Um, that thread was talking about how to be a better forum poster. It had been answered well and didn't need the obfuscation you were so generously offering. If anything, locking it prevented you from breaking any rules. But you seem so determined... Almost like you have an agenda...

 

This is the quality of this forum. You are a hindrancce to anybobody interested in physics. I wont post anymore.

I keep waiting for a funny punch line. This forum sucks... beer with a straw? Your reaction to what happened is so out of proportion that I suspect you're doing this on a dare, or for initiation into a creationist club, or at the urging of your parole officer or something.

 

Welll, II guess I'm not welcome here.

 

The mods will be checking up on me and trying to slander me, no one will like me thanks to the mods.

If you're serious, just take a deep breath, stop posting in these support areas, and start talking some science here. That's what everybody wants you to do, trust me. That's why we're all here, for the science.

 

You should discuss science. Really.

That's easy. Stop posting.

 

But as long as you are posting here, mods will be checking on you to see that you follow the rules.

 

 

Is that a threat?

 

I pay how much for a math or pyysics course, and you think your words are intimidating? Most of these members wouldn't care to help me solve 2+2.

To clarify:

 

We're a free, all-volunteer science discussion site. We have a broad range of members, from professionals to amateurs. Everybody here is generous with their time and knowledge, and I don't think you've been here long enough to talk about "most of these members".

 

You seemed to take offense where none was offered, and then you made rude comments. This made it seem like you had a chip on your shoulder, that you joined up mad and wanted to vent on somebody. If that's not the case, again, I urge you to stop digging this hole and start discussing science. It might make a big difference.

No. I was accusesed of things; anybody can see that.

 

And now you are expressing it....

 

 

 

Is this a dishonest, bad community? Thanks a lot.

 

This happens to you a lot, doesn't it? Is that why you were so angry right off the bat?

 

Perhaps science discussion isn't right for you. You've posted once about science, and sixteen times about how much we all suck. A blog sounds like a better choice for you. You can turn off the replies and not worry about accusations.

In two studies conducted online, researchers examined personality traits and the online commenting styles of 1,215 people. The investigators found that Internet trolls tended to have personality traits related to sadism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – a term used by psychologists to describe a person's tendency to deceive and manipulate others for personal gain. The link between trolling and sadism was the strongest out of all three traits, the researchers said.

The investigators found a link between online commenting frequency and the enjoyment of trolling, which is consistent with previous research that has established an association between excessive use of technology and antisocial behavior.

 

The study did not find a relationship between sadism and other harmless online activities, such as chatting and debating. And, unlike sadists, narcissists in the study did not appear to enjoy online trolling.
