Guest Gritz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 With the season just getting ready to start we as Falcon fans have so much to be enthused about. We have a great deal to look forward to and to discuss.With all of the above going on I have decided to change my ways. I am no longer going to engage in any kind of discussion with any obvious trolls. The many posters who have urged us all to "Not Feed the Trolls" are absolutely correct.The truth about the matter is that I have been among the worst when it comes to slapping these mouth breathers around. They ceased making me angry long ago but I found more than a little fun and sport in verbally slaying them. In doing so though I was only giving them what they all crave....attention.I'm done. I want to talk about football, and more specifically the Atlanta Falcons and all that is front of us.I know myself well enough though to know that this won't be easy for me. Please call me on it if you see me going back to my old behavior.Go Falcons....losses and major suckage to every other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconinPA Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I respect your decision Gritz, but I look forward to you putting the trolls in there place. Not a good day for AFMB!!!!!Please say it aint so???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Gotta neg you bro. You, alone, will not make any impact on the troll problem but a well-phrased insult brings enjoyment to the board. I will do everything in my power to thwart your efforts in this.You know how I can be when I set my mind to something. Give up now and make it easy on yourself.

I just have been feeling guilty about my part in it lately.....I mean if you do just look at the thing analytically the "Don't Feed the Trolls" crowd are correct.Aren't they?

kibitzer Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Legendary, Malt. Especially when the Viqueen fans decided to have a h0m0 convention on our boards a couple yrs. back.I'll support ya either way, Gritz. I happen to agree w/the idea of not feeding them; it puts an anchor in their stupid threads that makes them sink into the abyss. But, I ain't sayin' I'm not gonna laugh if you smack 'em around, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think it should be a case by case basis. Some are just too much fun not to mess with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobkowski Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Where do you draw the line? Many of the trolls come on here and put "OUR" team down in nastydisgustful ways. Not just to get attention but to treat our players and team like dirt.I take exception to it; and don't like being a door mat. So if I can take their regurgation and cramit back down their throats so they can eat it, well, I think I will have to do it on occasion. :ph34r: RISE UP DIRTY BIRDSTO H3LL WITH THE STANKSGO FALCONS !!!!!

I just have been feeling guilty about my part in it lately.....I mean if you do just look at the thing analytically the "Don't Feed the Trolls" crowd are correct.Aren't they?It depends on the type of troll. If you are talking about Swifty's antics, yes, the board is STUPID for continuing to debate/attack him. If you are talking about the trolls that pop up for awhile then leave, who cares?It is, also, not a matter of who is better, it just has to be done. I wasn't around when the gravy boy thread first arrived but you took care of it and many people laughed. That is what is important. All your pledge accomplishes is depriving the board of one of its entertainment sources. Don't be a fun sucker.Now admit that you were wrong and let us never discuss this foolishness again. Or else.

TeamPlayer1 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I admitted that it wasn't going to be easy....I probably need some type of 12 step program or something.That's true Gritz. First step is moderation and quitting anything cold turkey is not very moderate. Maybe cut back to a couple who really deserve the slam.See, there you go! When we're 5-0 they will all be gone and the problem is solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Can you call a troll a 'window licker' just ONE more time?! You do what you gotta do gritzy. Yeah, or tell us how their parents met at a family reunion or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just retire from the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal Line D Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Dang Gritz say it aint so?!?!?!? :unsure: You troll bashing has such hilarity that it honestly makes my day better.

"purdy". Did you make that, or is she an unrelated to the family type? (and btw, don't try to pull any "that's my wife stuff... I know how old you are and will rag you mercilessly Jerry Lee Lewis style!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
