Forum Post: Do not even comment AT ALL on useless posts.

I notice that the trolls do not comment AT ALL in threads that raise good points. (their bosses must have told them this) This means those usefull threads just fall the forum, to be replaced by troll threads.

Do not comment AT ALL if the original post is mindless stupidity. Only comment on posts where the original post is useful to our debate. If no one but trolls reply to the pointless idiocy then those posts will fall faster of the page. I know it is difficult to let dumb-ass posts by dipsht trolls go unanswered, however it will make this forum much more useful.

Peace.

I think it may be more useful to comment on good posts - in any case, if a post was submitted or commented on just minutes ago, a reply shouldn't matter much. I think troll threads can be hijacked, just like good threads.

Quick question.

Shouldn't you be engaging every person that comes to this forum? Isn't social media about reaching out to the masses and spreading the word?

Man if Ghandi or Dr. King had your attitude...

There is a big difference between engaging in debate, or a dialog and shouting insults and posting mindless nonsense. I am happy to debate anyone, who does not engage in name calling and nonsense. If you have a point, make it! I am talking about posts that are only disruptive noise.

As I point out these same trolls posting nothing but NOISE, never comment on posts with actual content. Don't just believe me start watching for it. The trolls will post endless comments on a post like "Get a job, smelly Hippies." but they will not comment on anything real. This is a tactic.

some people just like their world view too much to believe they could be wrong, maybe they are right, maybe they are not.
