| All,
I really feel like we are destroying our own forum by allowing the trolls to
take over healthy conversations.
In my opinion, responding the the trolls dilutes anything positive coming out
of our forum by allowing the troll to set the tone, pissing off/on people, and
acting like the children these trolls are.
Trolls want one thing. Attention, and boy do we give it to them! We need to
stop and begin starving them of this attention by not responding and they just
might take their vitriol somewhere else.
Instead of responding to the trolls, and thus spending your precious time and
energy on them, spend your time and energy on yourself, your shop, or MOC.
What do you think our buyers think when they come to the forum and see all of
these useless messages of bickering back and forth?
Do you think they might avoid asking for help, thus avoiding an attack by a troll
themselves?
Do you think they may go somewhere else to buy their Lego to avoid this hostility
and silliness?
At best, it means nothing to them. At worst, we lose a sale. I would prefer
we err on the side of caution, and just leave the trolls to rot in their own
sad, childish little world.
Don't try to argue with a fool, they will just bring you down to their level
and beat you over the head with their experience.
In my opinion, trolls are bullies, just ignore them since we already have terms
in place for bullies who go too far, therefore, save your time and do not feed
the trolls.
In my opinion, trolls are not smart, nor logical, and you are not likely going
to bring them to your side of the argument, therefore, save your time and do
not feed the trolls.
In my opinion, trolls want to try to get a reaction out of you, this is what
gives them satisfaction and power since they can't get satisfaction nor power
by anything constructive in their sad little useless lives, therefore, save your
time and do not feed the trolls.
Kind Regards,
John
P.S. I will not be feeding any trolls on this thread.

| i got the perfect idea,
you should label people who diisagree with you & confront you with facts ..
Trolls,
that way we can toss all dissidents in 1 single box,
because posting in the forum like this isn't garnering YOU attention. .it's
not like you are. ... the troll , in this situation.
mirrors are awesome!
but hey. you should ignore me, that deems me a Troll, i am ignoring Nubs, hence
he is a troll...
see how this works...
i will not respond to replies from you, because that would give you attention,
thus makling you a troll..
Circle Logic conquers All....

Now, I have been holding back on what I have been meaning to say to you because
I do not like to get into it with people but hot damn. Every time I see you post
something, it seems like you're trying to make another person feel like total
garbage. Do you have nothing nice to say at all about anyone? Most of your posts
are argumentative and look like they're designed to pick fights with people.
I never thought I'd add someone to my ignore list but you managed to force
my hand to do just that. Who even knows how many you have already ended up on.

NOW!!!!!
LOLOL
never hold back bud, feelings are not something i involve in a business setting...
neither do i use off-hand profanity.
no one asks me for nice thingsto say, ..
maybe you EXPECT my posts to be confrontational, instead of looking at the situation
from an overview.
- is it ok to repost spam emails into the public forum?
it's a simple question.
- if someone wants sellers to critique their store & specifically asks for sellers
to tell them what they is doing wrong, am i not suppossed to do that for them...?
i should lie...
-- is it ok to create a forum thread calling brinklink members names you
do not like or who disagre with you, suggesting these members are bad members
who drive away customers...?
careful.. careful, thin ice this is...
i do care about how much you are now ignoring me, i'll just sit here & wait
for your response

Doesn’t that mean that you will be on the bricklink forum the ENTIRE time waiting
for someone to reply? So that means you are “living” on the forum just like you’ve
accused me and 8 (or more) others of doing! 🙃🙃🙃

| from my being ignored viewpoint...
the problem here is that a few members have been living in the Forum here on
Brinklink, daily , for likely more years than i can count on both hands,
they think they own this forum, that they control what occurs here, as in this
post itself, labeling people you do not like
i'm not sure who you think you are, but the forum is just that .. --
'The Forum',
not 'our' forum as you keep referring to it as. it doesn't belong
to you, it belongs to everyone..
why you are choosing to post something like this about Brinklink members who
disagree with you or confront you by labeling them & suggesting their intentions
for joining a conversation & incinuating people who disagree with you are BAD
& drive away customers...
well that makes YOU the bully...
doesn't it

It's because you jump into every conversation to "confront with facts", as
a newer member.
Especially to calbricks, who you were interacting with for the first time.
This is just a feeling, but I'm sorry if there's someone overly-critical
and judgemental in your life. It won't last, and I hope you gain the ability
to set healthy boundaries.

so....
you have zero issues with Calbricks reporting someone for spamming him in a private
message, then copy & pasting that exact same message into the public forum here,
amplifying the spam to the entire brinklink userbase...?
WOW!
i never recieved that email, i learned about it via calbricks post... i am simply
amazed he is .. allowed... to do that..
not sure why being a new member has any bearing on the relevance of a response...
but hey, i'm not you

Problem with it? No, why would anyone take issue with it? It's not harmful
and can be part of a civilized discussion. If you don't like it and have
an issue just ignore it instead of trying to belittle people with sarcasm, I
think more people will take issue with that.
Lets pretend we are adults and can have a normal conversation, I suppose a some
silliness is fine too, I mean it's not like mustard is hurting anyone. I
don't think you need to hide your opinion but you could tone it down a bit,
I mean who has time to get so worked up over a forum post?
