Modern Trolls
 
Any one else think theres a lot of posting that would be considered "TROLLISH", by the old board standards?

 

HaydenAsche 05.09.2006 06:57 PM

I don't see any porn links.

If you are referring to me and my sarcasm then yes.

And fuck you.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.09.2006 06:58 PM

Its just all of these nosense polls, and all at once.

X vs. Y x infinity man.

HaydenAsche 05.09.2006 06:59 PM

Yes. Mine were all sarcastic. I hope you caught that.

I just put Thurston Hunger on my ignore list. Annoying little fucker.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.09.2006 07:00 PM

Actually, I didn't notice your I dont think.

HaydenAsche 05.09.2006 07:02 PM

yeah Rhys, people do seem to be going out of their way (the polls & everything today) so that I will call them "dumb" haha


maybe hoping for me to go off so that they can quote me in their little signatures...well perhaps

god vs. satan...sheesh



by the way, The Bible says that Satan is the unquestioned ruler of the Earth; until Armageddon, that is.

Which is actually good wisdom if you interpret it correctly. Now, with the whole Revelations End of the World deal that John of Patmos crafted an adolescent revenge fantasy & it is fast becoming a very real self-fulfilling prophecy. But let's get past that. John of Patmos let his ego run away with him & he brewed up Revelations & jumped the shark, but at its core, the very kernel of the whole book, is a fine nugget of wisdom.

Evil is real & the reason why evil exists pervasively is ultimately because of the fear of death. Now this is the metaphorical meaning of Satan symbolism. As we each continue to err & have bad wills that engender bad consequences we impel the world towards destruction because unconsciously we want to suffer & be awakened out of our fear.

Thus, like Teddy Roosevelt reminds (somewhat different context, but) "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." In other words, unless one really deals with their own fear of death, they will unconsciously bring suffering upon themselves. Although suffering does foster wisdom through its disruption of the ego, it's actually in everyone's own best interest not to be a total selfish asshole; contrary to popular belief & the general way of the world. I'll tell everyone one thing, I didn't pull all this out of my ass. I learned over time because I humbled myself enough to know how important knowledge & self-knowledge are.

This is a joke based on the "You're obsessed with me, you're a troll" line used by someone else a lot, right?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.09.2006 07:13 PM

No, people actually have quotes of atari in their sigs. I had one for the first day, but kicked it.

I think I've said this before, but on occasion this forum reminds me of half-witted dalmations that can't seem to grasp the concept of an electric fence.

Every five seconds someone zaps their own balls on here.

No, Atari regularly flames people, and often quite accurately and amusingly, I must say.

That is, until I incur his wrath someday.

Yeah, I know. I thought he was a twat for ages on the old board because he was a total dick to me when I first turned up there, but he's quite an alright fella mostly, and much funnier than the relentless, "Sonic life!" types.

Right on, you totally rock! Sonic Life! <3

truncated 05.09.2006 07:29 PM

Well, that was a rather pointless, obvious joke, wasn't it?

Atari thought I was a troll when I first arrived. I don't blame him, because for some unknown reason, he is not the only one who suspected that I was someone else. That seemed to be an opinion held by many.

This is going to sound like more cock-stroking, but atari is one of the few posters on here that I truly respect. Even moreso for his occasional rant - seeing atari lose it is one of the most entertaining events on this board.

RdTv 05.09.2006 07:38 PM

He does know how to make a point, back it up, expand on it, turn you against yourself and do it with seeming ease and finese. Not that I know him or anything, but it is premium entertainment.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.09.2006 07:48 PM

WARNING PORNO AHEAD, REALLY DISGUSTING PORN THAT WILL MAKE YOU PUKE. I'M ABOUT TO PUKE ALREADY.

hopefully Rhys won't mind, but here is what Plato transcribed Socrates as saying before he was to drink the hemlock & be sentenced to death for "undermining the gods of the state" & for "corrupting the youth of Athens".

Now as you see there has come upon me that which may be thought, and is generally believed to be, the last and worst evil. But the oracle* made no sign of opposition . . . I regard this as a proof that what has happened to me is a good, and that those of use who think that death is an evil are in error . . . . Let us reflect in another way, and we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good, for one of two things:--either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by the sight of dreams, death will be an unspeakable gain. . . . Now if death is like this, I say that to die is gain; for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is a journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead are, what good, O my friends and judges, can be greater than this? . . . What would not a man give if he might converse with Orpheus and Musaeus and Hesiod and Homer? Nay, if this be true, let me die again and again. . . . Above all, I shall be able to continue my search into true and false knowledge; as in this world, so also in that; I shall find out who is wise, and who pretends to be wise, and is not. . . . The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die, and you to live. Which is better, God only knows.

What's your problem?
This is a Sonic Youth forum and I came here to discuss Sonic Youth. That's the band you're meant to like, by the way.

pokkeherrie 05.10.2006 07:46 AM

Great. the SY board has been blocked by my work's new internet filter because of pornography. :mad:

I can actually do some work now... or just hang around other websites i suppose.

Everyneurotic 05.10.2006 07:59 AM

i made the million polls to make a point on how stupid it was to make polls pitting one sy album against the other. i even told thurston hunger that it was very simplistic, it's not like he made a thread for every album so we could discuss them he put this threads that were like "ssd's get it away vs captain beefheart's trout mask replica; which one do you like the most?". plus i think the board has been really slow on good threads, so why not just have fun.

like truncated has said, the sy gossip section is all "i love sonic youth, wow yeah!!! you guys rock!!!"; we haven't had a descent conversation about them in this new board since it started.

don't you think the daily million "rather ripped" and "gilmore girls" threads aren't troll-like? i find most real sy-related threads to be a bad joke and are offensive to me.

if people are being dumb, why not have fun period? if you can't see the humor in what i did, then i'm really sorry for you.

by the way, the "annoying vocals" thread wasn't a joke one, i was thinking about doing for a long time.

I don't agree with that idea "if people are being dumb, why not have fun period?", because "good" posters start to act like assholes and then It's hard to read and say something serious on this board because 99% of the people are just having "fun".


That's why I said to you "I know what you mean when you say SY sucks and then SY Rocks", I knew that you guys were acting like because of the "crappy threads"...but like i said...it's just stupid and annyoing.

But yeah...sorry about all that shit everyneurotic, but it was REALLY annoying to see someone who posted good stuff like that review of the T show in Mexico, and then say something like "SY sucks" just because he thinks that most of the threads are crap.


yes yes yes yes yes yes and YES!!

it's true, it gets kinda annoying because, like you said, we had some great conversations on the old board, really great threads that were smart, humurous, biting and yet understandable, you know the people here and know they like good music and have great points of views and shit. but the thing is, there hasn't been any good threads here; i especially find it annoying that everytime i or anyone else for that matter, try to start a good conversation, it all goes down in flames because a) no one replies or b) someone tries to pick a fight. it's like those "underrated/overrated" threads at the very beginning of the board or the political threads where all they do is call each other retards in oh so many words. and most threads a day are pretty insipid. there's not much people want to talk about, most of the time it's "these guys rule!!!" or these"these guys suck!!!" not anything else to it,a nd it really gets on my nerves.

i went back to the thurston hunger threads and posted my points of view on each album, it really annoys me that most people just left click on the option and post "i voted for XXXXX", why not talk about it?!

sorry for saying "fuck you", i guess we misunderstood each other.

HaydenAsche 05.10.2006 11:23 AM

Was tubgirl really necessary?

I could probably be considered a troll but none of my posts are actually in spite or to annoy. I just get really bored.

Atari is teh man!

haha,
i dont think thurston hunger should leave the forum. It was the retalliation of his threads that made me annoyed.

no, because i wouldn't open a thread like that while i'm at work... it was obvious that sooner or later someone would post porn in that (i think it was rhys chatham?)

but i really don't see what reason you had for posting tubgirl in this thread... but maybe i'm missing something.
warning or not, as soon as the page loads the damage is already done.

and no, i'm nobody else on this forum. what makes you think that?

porkmarras 05.11.2006 06:04 AM

One wonders sometimes if some people have got a life on here.And this is from someone who's been logged in since 1765 because he forgets to log off all the time.He he double he
