Looking for a ruling on potential troll

Postby Intangelon » Wed Jul 29, 2009 10:50 pm

Godly Nations starts out innocuously enough, expressing opinions, however unreasonable:

My Japanese friend and I agree that people should not use those words in English, and should otherwise replace them with perfectly acceptable English words. We both feel that it is degrading to his Culture, just as the leprechaun and the green beer is degrading to my own. We also both agree that this whole 'put on animal ears' fad is simply ridiculous.


But then the generalizing insult about the US gets in:

This behaviour, we both agree, is what makes America a retarded and crappy nation.

I guess you are right, then, I suppose, this is a manifestation of American retardation.


In addition, he's hectoring Nanatsu about her choice to drop the occasional Japanese phrase and simply will not let it rest. She's taking care of herself, as you'd expect, but Godly doesn't seem to understand how unreasonable and deliberately fractious he's being. Or am I overreacting?

Intangelon, that thread is why General should occasionally be lauded, praised, commended and generally given cookies. Thank you for the link.

I could not do more, and cannot as a mod do as much, as the Generalites collectively have done. A trollish argument has been put and dissected both logically and humorously. Perfect.

I will go and say the obvious, but mods are not really needed in that thread any longer. I'll just check in occasionally to make sure that hostilities don't break out.

My pleasure. That's why I didn't run in here with a demand for any action, just a clarification. Much of the Generalite Self-Policing Force acted with dispatch. Thank you for looking into it.
