Very well said.You are not be honest with yourself, and missing the point because of that.
Trolling the trolls is still trolling. Some might argue the hypocritical aspect of it takes it up a notch from standard trolling.
Then there is the aspect of... who are you to define when someone is trolling? Simply being adamant about a specific opinion in a repetitive manner might be annoying but it doesn't necessarily make it trolling. I personally don't view @MountaineerCowboy as a troll regardless of whether I agree with him or not. Who is the real troll? The person who states an unpopular opinion, or the person who responds to that by attacking the character and integrity of the holder of that opinion?
Then there is the question of motive. If you, @TheMarathonContinues and @CowboysFaninHouston simply didn't respond.... then this exchange doesn't exist. You guys perpetuate the very thing you condemn. Essentially creating the monster which you can then slay using your virtuous ego.
Have you ever seen a troll slayer shut down a troll? Yea.... me either. In the end the troll gets satisfaction from successfully getting a rise out of the slayer, and the slayer gets some satisfaction from the false perception that they are saving the forum from the evil troll. It is entirely self serving on both sides, and of no benefit to the forum at large.
So yea.... I stand by my original comment.
Dak's play on the field is the only thing that can change my opinion on him. His crew that believes he walks on water cannot. I'm a show me, don't tell me type.
They could ignore me if they wanted, but they simply cannot quit me.
