Ha. This is funny. So now I am a troll? Perfect - a troll calling out the people calling out the trolls. I will say this, brilliant!

Please read all of my posts over the last week and come to your own conclusion.

I have been advocating Gandhi's non-violence, getting money out of politics, and creating a more fair society where everyone has a fair chance to succeed. How does this make me a troll?

I have to vouch for JohnB, he is not a troll. And I agree with his points of view.

[-] 1 points by JohnB (138) 13 years ago

Thank you yasmine. I honestly was not prepared for trolls escalating to calling all of us seeing their attack, as trolls. It's a brilliant strategy I must admit.

[-] 2 points by yasminec001 (584) 13 years ago

Of course, bro. I can't stand by and see falsity at action. It just goes against my nature.

I really think we need to go to other forums, such as occupytogether.org

[-] 1 points by JohnB (138) 13 years ago

I wonder if moderated forums would solve this problem?

[-] 2 points by yasminec001 (584) 13 years ago

occupytogether.org is monitored. I know this for a fact.

there is also:

occupyr.org

themultitude.org

I'm not sure if those are monitored but there are many other forums out there.

i like this forum. no moderation (if any) which allows for a lively discussion.

[-] 1 points by yasminec001 (584) 13 years ago

I get you. But then nothing is accomplished if we are constantly being distracted by systematic trolling.

Sorry man, I copied this list from another troll list floating around, after reviewing one or two names on it. I should have reviewed it more thoroughly. I tried to change it, but the edit feature wont let me change the title.

[-] 1 points by JohnB (138) 13 years ago

Thank you. I appreciate your recognizing that. :-)

There is an edit feature on your post itself. It should allow you to change both the content and the title.

Ban the Trolls!

Except Tednugent because he's such an obvious knuckle-dragging Troll.

[Removed]

[-] 1 points by HitGirl (2263) 13 years ago

I like that idea.

[-] 1 points by Redmist (212) from Yazd, Yazd 13 years ago

If your gonna start banning people why not start with all the damn Nazi's posting here.

Don't feed the trolls. It only encourages them to make further posts.

I agree that there is a concerted effort to hijack the OWS forum. It's much easier to attach OWS from a keyboard then to actually show up an counter protest.

They are doing all they can to paint OWS in a bad light and to get us into pointless "debates". I wish we could flag thread topics just like we can comments in the forum.

On one hand we want to be open tent and not exclude ideas and on the other hand racist rants and statements that have nothing to do with reality offend many of us.

It's a cold hard truth. If you want to be a Democracy then you have to allow people to express their opinions and accept that others will express their opinions about the first opinion...

If you feel compelled to respond how about a simple, "I do not agree with your statement".

Simple, hard to argue with and let the nutcases spend all day posting there crazy comments with nothing to show for it.

add me to the list!

The Zeitgeist people are the most amazing trolls here. I found a bunch of Internet archaeology from when they tried to indoctrinate Tea Partiers a couple of years ago too. I had never heard of them before all of this.

^shameless self promotion so it isn't just a bump.

we need a whole sub forum for the trouble with trolls

Might as well add Turak to the list.
