Is it hard for you to spot a troll?
coffee,
Haaah… This one troll-who’s-on-a-roll, is opening a bunch of threads, and I’m sure you noticed.
Meanwhile he enjoys seeing posters arguing and getting all worked up for his quirky amusement.
Don’t be surprised if he’s otherwise a sane-sounding , mussar throwing ,and serious-sounding schmoozer as he displays on many threads. I’m sure he’s quite normal looking with no hints of abnormality to the casual onlooker, but boy is there something wrong. Quite frankly, I’m about to tune the CR out altogether.
He’s going to read this, so here’s a tip for him:
In your ‘hood, there’s a shrink who specializes in this ailment. He’s on the corner of Ave J & Coney Island Ave, corner apartment house, on the northeast corner.
Ring 4C.
Come alone.Nah. They are usually eight to ten feet tall, grey mottled skin, covered in warts, live under a bridge, and constantly say things like “Rachmono litzlon! A REAL frum Yid would never have a smart phone!!!!!!”
Hey, why not, it gives us something to read other than anti/pro-vaccines or Chabad bashing
Whenever I read a troll post, I imagine that there is a real person who did not write the post, but is in the same situation as the person who wrote it. Then I respond to that person.
Ha ha you fell for my trolling! (T)
Coffee,
Yeah, I’m sure there are more than one, and multiple names.
However, with certain threads I’m betting a crate of long shaitels on Brooklyn, that’s how confident I am.
I’ll even treat you to a free lunch at your favorite coffee cafe and explain why , though it’s rather simple.In accordance with kaballah, a virtual “troll” is a mythical, cave-dwelling CR Poster frequently depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance and capable of seemingly endless expressions of contrarian viewpoints on just about everything. There are some very good anti-troll apps available for downloading at the Itunes store.
WTP,
You were actually reading the vaccine thread?
I always thought that its just 2-3 of us that were reading it..
RebYidd,
Nah, you’re not a troll.. You just run threads asking difficult questions and make people work too hard. They’re like riddles, mostly unsolvable..😫😫🤣🤣Coffee,
Oh, 5 Towns?? No problem.
In that case I’ll order lunch someplace indoors for the two of us .. Don’t want to be recognized walking on Central Ave.😉😉😉😉2 cents- Na, I stopped after a few pages, got tired of reading the same posts over and over. But since there were so many parallel threads, skipping anything vaccine related or chabad related meant there was not much for me to do in the CR. Trolls or not, it’s more fun here now. Even of the OP is a troll on some threads, the other posters are not…
Ye, at times it seems like the discussions dry up, but sometimes even a short hiatus means you missed a lot.
CA, what are you talking about? It’s not LH if the thread is about a made-up persona with a made-up problem. Those are the safe threads.
Most discussion boards have their resident trolls….they provide comic relief and occasionally keep things going during slow periods when most posters have better things to do with their lives.
CA, that’s another issue entirely, but has little to do with it being a troll thread or not, but rather a problem across the board here. even more so with the serious threads.
So Winnie, why not start a “serious” thread about the growing number of trolling threads related to the shidduch crisis??
Trolls are easy to spot: ANy opinion I disagree with is obviously a troll. It’s not acceptable to call them meshuga or stupid, that is not nice! Instead, let’s givel them the name Troll!. Listen carefully to the mohel at the next bris: V’yira shemo b’Yisrel Troll,
Golden, even though you are a troll, here is a serious response: Many trolls here haven’t expressed any opinions whatsoever.
Na, Gadol, I usually leave starting threads to others.
And even in 2022 trolls are still all over…
