Stalk trolls, don't ban them!

[textflesh]

Hn, seems to me like the whole banning trolls and forgetting about them thing has become an ancient tradition. BEWARE BOYS AND GIRLS! BEWARE! TROLLING WILL NOW GET YOU CYBERSTALKED

How amusing, that someone with such piss poor layout in web page design would bitch about someone else's artistic abilities or argueable lack thereof.

Kinda creepy. And it seems that if you're going to dedicate a whole night to finding info and making a post about it, then wouldn't technically be praising the troll?
blahblahblah me trying to sound smart poopblah.

very very true, combine that with the fact he's still posting on my journal about this means he pretty much refuses to let this shit die.

Hopefully Rich Johnston will take the story. He's fully aware of it and his response was "Wow..." So. We'll see. I'm hoping.

I think Paul is sort of a funny fellow really. As he doesn't realize that all he's done is make himself look like a jackass.

The sheer wankery of this makes me laugh.

I find this more then a little creepy. The cyberstalking, not the trolling, that is.

My kneejerk response to this, before I actually followed the link and learned it was about cultscomics, was that people who stalk trolls are the same personality type who become trolls themselves and were just annoyed that someone else beat them to it. And having read it, my opinion is not changed.

I mostly agree. Keyword, mostly.

Ah, well. Frankly, there are some trolls who actually deserve a wee bit of stalking -- though mostly what my friends do is ban them and then snark about them in their journals under friends lock.

Your icon made me very very happy. Some trolls deserve to be publically mocked. Granted. I agree. However, admins and mods should take a higher path and not sink to the troll's level.
