    Clearly you weren't here before the election, or after it.

    Maybe you should look around before poking your head in and passing random judgements on people.

    Makes the second line of what you quoted ironically relevant to your reply though.

    I was here at the previous "election". Trump's victory was no surprise to me.

    On whom did I pass a random judgment?

    The place is full of fratboy trolls; that's why the number of posters who come here has nosedived.

    If you want to have a serious debate, PF is alas no longer the place (it was never perfect but occasionally you could spar with a smart person).

    If you want sport, shooting ducks.... well this is the place to put down the frat boys.

    I still live in hope that the old days may return.

    Were you using my post as some kind of justification for whatever point you were trying to make?

    Plus, I'd dare say, if your intention was to use my post as some kind of example of "frat boy" posting, then your response doesn't meet your own standards.

    I am indifferent to you. I do not know you. Your post uses convoluted sentences which I can't be bothered with.

    But as they say...if the cap fits... then wear it.

    Nor do I know you, nor do I care. You're the one that chose to try and make my post some kind of example.

    Of course the irony is you're as guilty as I am in your own scenario.

    Just read slow and watch for commas. You'll get it.

    Go "frat boy" someone else.

    Yes it was adolescent drivel. It wasn't funny, clever, informative, challenging or in the slightest way interesting. It was just another tedious shot in the tedious culture war. Dull as dishwater.

    I am sure there are many others just like it but I got bored reading such trash so chose your post. Nothing personal.

    That's your post I'm judging. I don't care about judging you.

    Oh but it was funny, if taken in context with the person I was talking about.

    Of course you wouldn't know that, since you only like to come here and occasionally exercise your own adolescent drivel.

    Maybe you don't see the irony of being guilty of doing what you're complaining about, but I assure you, it's very obvious.

    Instead of trolling people's postings, maybe you should offer something worthwhile.

    Dazzle us with one of your "serious debates".

    So you think your own post was funny?

    Me too. All my posts are incredibly funny.

    You want me to spend time constructing a serious debate in the hope that it will not be de-railed by fratboy trolls? Why would I do that?

    Oh, I see.

    We're not worthy.

    Or perhaps your posts just aren't as clever as you think.

    I mean your grand contribution most recently is trolling me.

    *golf clap*

    You edited that way too slow.

    Plus the most recent troll in this thread is your own post, so....you know....glass houses and such.

    I commented on one post. I, unlike you, have made NO personal attacks. You started the whole thing with a personal attack.

    You are the one who is trolling because I forcefully critiqued ONE of your posts!

    This is what happens on here... if you disagree you get trolled with abuse and then called a troll yourself!

    Stick to critiquing posts, refrain from insulting the poster and you won't go wrong.

    Well, unfortunately for you, I directly quoted your post before you could change it. You're welcome to ask a mod to "look into it" for you if you'd like.

    You didn't "critique" anything, you tried to hold my post up as some kind of "My posts are above the peasants", while all the while doing exactly what you were trying to accuse me of.

    Like I said, you're welcome to post something worthwhile instead of trolling others, but I wouldn't want you to "play chess against children".

    Stick to posting something worthwhile instead of spending your time looking down on my posts and you won't go wrong.

    It was analogy not a personal attack. Debating with people who talk about "pink vagina hats" is comparable to playing chess with children who do not know much about the game of chess. It's boring, unchallenging and a bit of a waste of time (except at least with the children playing Chess you could teach them something).

    But clearly I had to explain it, so I did.

    But listen - here I commented on ONE post and then have been amusingly replying to the OUTRAGE that you have showed because of this.

    For you "trolling" is to critique ONE post? Apart from that I have just been answering your rather shrill hysterical and abusive posts which are directly addressed to me.

    If you don't want me to post on this subject then STOP REPLYING.

    I talked about "pink vagina hats" because that's exactly what they were walking around in.

    Don't blame me for the popularity of vagina hats. Wasn't my idea.

    [​IMG]

    Disturbing, I know.

    Outrage? Oh I'm not outraged, I'm enjoying myself.

    And yeah, when you come in complaining about the same thing you're guilty of, I'm going to point it out to you.

    Oh and by the way, you might want to look at the site traffic. Doesn't seem to be nosediving from what I've seen.

    Nah. I like replying.

    Yeah it's clear that your accusations of trollery are nothing more than trollery themselves. It's a new technique to accuse someone of trollery based on one post but ho hum - the quality even of the trollery is at an all time low.

    The site had many many more members a few years ago. It seems to be only fratboys now, with a few exceptions. Before, there was more of a mix of types and you could have good political debates.

    You like culture wars? Clearly you are used to that. Do pictures of pink vagina people float your boat?

    Then we're in fine company with your contributions I suppose.

    I eagerly await your next "better than thou" post.

    Well, the poster has apparently lost his sense of humor somewhere! The vagina hats are hilarious! :laughing:

    Yes laughing at people because they are old. Hilarious!

    Pretty much proves my point and neatly illustrates the moral decline of parts of the United States of America.

    Laughing because she has a "keep your hands off my vagina" sign and is dressed as a vagina, you mean. ROFL. I can't help it if some people are absurd.
