I see a new way developing on this board for trying to electronically assasinate posters who are not liked.
Just call them a "troll".
If they say something you don't like, don't agree with or just prefer they didn't, then save yourself the thinking power required to formulate a sensible reply - just label them a troll
By doing this you advise all other readers that the postings of that person should be ignored. You are doing a service to others by showing the unliked poster has no credibility.
CALL THEM A TROLL

And upon further examination, we realize that those who do the name calling are doing so by their own unqualified appointment with no attention given to structure or equality.
A "troll" on this board seems to be anyone who rejects the use of a double standard by which to judge others.
A "troll" would be anyone who suggests use of this board for any purpose other than humiliating 2x2s.
A "troll" would be someone who recognizes there are non-2x2 abusers of the gospel.
A "troll" asks for others to account for their methodology and idolatry also.
Eventually we'll all become TROLLS in soneone's eyes. !!!

You're welcome...and welcome to the board. In addition to calling people who disagree with you a troll you can say they are attacking you. Or that since they have all the answers you are not going to discuss things. Or just respond to all of their questions with more questions. Label them as a worker supporter and refuse to discuss anything. Some posters are very adept at this.

Since you appear to have an issue with me personally, I'll attempt to discuss this with you...personally. I don't know you and I don't know what your problem is, but I will respond to your points as you wrote them. In addition to calling people who disagree with you a troll you can say they are attacking you. Trolls are trolls regardless of whether or not I call them that. The first half of this quote (and I've said this before) are your words, not mine. Or that since they have all the answers you are not going to discuss things. I saw no incentive to continue the conversation since you had declared the solution and iced it over by speaking to me in a derogatory tone. If you expect a conversation from others, then be conversational towards them. You made some personal comments and then mocked me for not responding. Will you acknowledge that you made some personal comments? Or just respond to all of their questions with more questions. ...and? Label them as a worker supporter and refuse to discuss anything. What would you like to discuss (emphasis on the word "discuss")? Don't get me wrong, I know exactly what you want to talk about. I just don't see the point in arguing with you about it. Either we can have a discussion, or not.
Some posters are very adept at this. Adeptness abounds here. Welcome to the forum.

Some posters are very adept at this. Adeptness abounds here. Welcome to the forum.[/quote] Wow. You took this personally. Are these things you utilize to stifle discussion?? No one mentioned your name. It was just adding to the list of methods people use when they do not want to discuss topics. As far as personal comments - I do not know anyone on this message board so personal comments would be out of the question. You may have mistaken me for another admiring fan.

Ilylo, I love ya, but ya gotta lay off this troll. This guy is an IDI0T, and intelligent dialog is the last thing on his agenda. Remember, when it comes to the people here like Howard... Never argue with an IDI0T; They will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Actually, I did argue with ilylo once, and his thoughtful dialog and careful, logical, reasoned approach to discussion made me hate his guts... until several months later when experience taught me that he was right. Dump your ego for a while. You just might learn something. (Unless that's what you're afraid of...) (And no, I ain't ilylo.) -TJ
