Trolling...... Mods Only

Postby Canuck Utopia » Sun Jun 21, 2009 10:03 pm

Here we have a thread about people who pray:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4011#p118537

And then we get this:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4011&start=50#p120339

Neo Art wrote:If you don't like being confronted with people who believe that your beliefs are wrong, silly, and not just a little bit dangerous, then don't come to places where that's a valid topic of conversation. But don't expect me to cowtow to you to spare your precious feelings about your violent and bloodthirsty religion.

I think he went a little overboard on this one.

How, exactly, did I go overboard? I expressed (in quite explicit detail, I grant you) my feelings towards a certain religion. The fact is, as far as I've been lead to believe, that I am free to express my viewpoints on topics. I expressed my viewpoint about a religion. if you are bothered by the fact that I feel that way, or if you are offended that I might view it as such...well, then I think my initial comment that you quotes can apply equally well.

It would appear that Neo has little interest in the topic at hand, and would rather just hurl insults:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4011&start=125#p122008

I'm very confused. First I'm accused of not discussing the topic at hand, then I'm chastised for offering to pray for your guidance? After all, you seem to have no problem with the idea of random strangers on the internet offering prayer without being asked, so I thought you'd be perfectly fine with me doing so. Which makes me think that you need my prayers for a happier lifestyle, without all the anger that prompts you to say things like Especially when you post things like:

Why, did you find it rude for me to interject with my own personal value judgments about your lifestyle and say I'd pray for you, without being asked to? I can't imagine why you would think so, you seem perfectly OK with it.

Having read the entire quote and not just the part you've quoted, as context is important, I do not believe Neo Art has gone overboard. Yes, it is strongly worded but he is entitled to his opinion, but it is not overboard.

Nor is this a problem.

You should accept that while Neo's opinion may not be "nice" in your opinion, it is not by any means trolling. He has expressed his beliefs and you have done so as well in the same thread.

This is not the place to discuss beliefs. Neo Art is entitled to his; Canuck Utopia is entitled to his. We'll leave it at that.

While I accept your decision, I think that expressing opinions is one thing, but purposely entering a religious thread solely to diss religious people is trolling. Neo did nothing to contribute to the thread and purposely insulted people and their religion(s). But you're the Mod.
