TROLL ALERT! - IF YOU ARE BORED HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO TROLL

[sleepymama]

ewwww. how does that even make sense in this thread?

A bunch of you have developed fish baskets in this thread.

I hope you clean it up or go the hell away.

"Fish baskets" in urban dictionary yields a different definition than "fish basket". Please tell me So Well meant the plural version. Please.

Before I head over to the urban dictionary site, is this going to be like one of those Brain_Cloud "Gateway Kink" goggle nightmares, for me?

Yes.

Then I will refrain. I still think about that gateway thing.

...That's it, carbonman. Put up your dukes, put up your dukes!

And, thanks, rain_cloud. I had been contemplating my need for a new avatar.

Did you just---did you just call me RAIN_CLOUD?????????????????????????????????????????????

That is an insult. A cruel insult. You coward; I demand satisfaction.

Oops. Sorry about that typo, chess-boy.

How about some nice satisfying fried fish?

He must have been really suffering from brain_cloud.... or maybe not feeling like himself.

"Yes, I'm quite near-sighted."

Then I think you will find that I am not Really_Ugly at all. Just make sure and stay back a few feet.

Why?

Are you Really_Stinky?

With the sudden turn this thread has taken, lemme think reeallllllyy carefully about my next post...

what do they call that when animals eat their own thats what it looks like here

I'm sure you have MANY questions as a newcomer here---about apnea and its treatment. I would encourage you to participate in the other threads and ask the helpful posters there how to fine tune your therapy!

I would encourage that you and the other newcomers not bother with this thread. Lately we have been focusing on regular members who take out additional user accounts to take snide swipes at other members. I mistakenly thought that was cowardly at first. However, reading through the recent posts in this thread I have learned:

1) It’s not really cowardly to reserve a second identity for harsh/antagonistic posts
2) There’s really no difference between taking considerable measures to fool people with a second identity since the primary identity is just as anonymous, and
3) To even DISCUSS the increasing popularity of posters shielding their primary identities behind harsh second identities is what's REALLY cowardly and judgmental

What an epiphany!

I would reply directly to this, but Dori won't let me use any of my other 17 identities from the WAP browser on my smartphone.

My position (indefensible) is:

1. It is cowardly to set out to hurt people online, regardless of how it is done.
2. There is slight of hand (and sleight of hand), and then there is malicious intent.
3. This has been a very educational thread with some good laughs and serious points, IMO.

To those who complain bitterly about threads like this - Why would I come to this board otherwise? My therapy works great and has since day 2. Why would I cruise categories like masks when I don't have issues? Just why? I belong to other technical boards with distinct categories and I only visit the technical ones when I need help otherwise I read the random social category. Sure I could go to the dozen or more others but I can't be bothered, someone else can do that. Here I see all the threads and I go and answer the ones that look interesting but I will be damned if I am going to cruise categories too. Categorized this forum and I will hang out on my knitting board instead (which has an easy to see categorization with as sleep apnea sub group) If you want a nice forum with subdivisions I suggest all you people put your MONEY where your mouth is and buy the Ravelry software.

jnk, I agree with all 3 points. It has been fun(especially Rain_cloud's tantrum ) and thought provoking at the same time. I know I've learned something here about human nature. I'm glad SWS explained this OT to newcomers so they know they're really in the right place for help. I always think about those struggling with their therapy. They can just consider this OT our little mini-cruise away from the real reason we're all here which is to learn and educate about Sleep Apnea. I think I see land ahead!

I agree with those three points as well, Jeff.

Regarding slight of hand, sleight of hand, and malicious intent: alternate identities who most often make people laugh or feel good are one thing; alternate identities who REPEATEDLY elicit annoyed "go away troll" comments are an altogether different and counterproductive kind of persona IMO.

I think our message board occasionally NEEDS to have discussions like this because our message board is essentially unmoderated---by majority preference.
