Listen, burrito, I really like you as a person. I mean that, even though I don’t even know you.
Wait, nevermind what I just said. Let me put it different.
Imagine you were in charge of a website named “ilovephilosophy”. Well, your motive would be to find the most intelligent people alive, and to force those most intelligent people alive to post interesting, VALUABLE knowledge. This would be the idea of your website. You want to turn these most intelligent people alive into your personal slaves. And if they get out of line, then you threaten to shoot them, or their loved ones, their closest family members. You do this, because you want a SUCCESSFUL online philosophy website, where the best and brightest go to do philosophical work.
But we are not there yet. As of right now, anybody can join this beautiful philosophy website, and write absolutely STUPID and INANE bullshit. I mean, take a look around you. People write completely dumb stuff. But, in order to keep “civil” we have to pretend to take them seriously, even when we don’t. This includes petulant little teenagers who post STUPID PICS up, where they appear to have taken a wrong detour away from 4chan. What would YOU do with these teenagers, if you had to run this magical philosophy website? I know what I would do. I would BAN THEIR ASSES and not think twice about it.
I would ban them for, I don’t know, 3 months for each trolling occassion. So you got off lite if you ask me. You’re lucky I’m not in charge of a philosophy website. Face it, you ARE a troll. Why? Because you don’t have anything interesting or relevant to say. And when somebody comes along to DOES say something interesting and or relevant, you don’t contribute, you don’t agree or disagree, you just post some stupid 4chan pic, and hope that your mere presence alones garners you some respect and dignity in the eyes of the greater community. This happens ALL THE TIME, trust me on that.
If you were not a troll, then you would actually post some threads, make some serious comments, and share your ACTUAL VIEWS of the world. But, you don’t. I think you need to finish puberty before you register at this website. When you have small children and teenagers running around a forum built for adults, well then, this is what you get, TROLLING. And, not coincidentally, it usually is the TROLL who accuses others of trolling. Isn’t that funny how that works?? Maybe we should have listened to Jesus Chrsit, our dearest Lord and Savior, and he who is guilt should not cast the first stone. Then again, teenagers haven’t lived long enough to really be guilty of anything. So I guess ignorant, naive teenagers can cast the first stone. Uh oh, nevermind then.
I think a philosophy website should have an age restriction of 25 years old. That would cure 99.99999999% of trolling. And I don’t even think you would be allowed on this forum, huh?
At the VERY LEAST, I actually try to GIVE something to this community, other than asinine threads and comment. What do YOU do? What thoughts do YOU have worth giving? If nothing, and you troll, well then that is a bad combo, and I would expect another ban, if that was what I did all thie time.
