there are literally only 5%-10% bad cops. The other 90%-95% are fine.
Except for the fact noted in the article that there are literally (as in literally, not figuratively) 14% bad cops.
Nice way to rationalize and minimize and be an apologist for a group of people who literally can destroy just about anyone's life and have next to no accountability. If you weren't so busy licking your master's boots you might realize that even 1% of a group like that is entirely unacceptable.
The idiot troll manages to get nearly 25% (8 of 36, at the time of this writing) of all the comments. I'd be ashamed of myself for falling into his trap; apparently 1/4 of TD readers aren't.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: You are all right and wrong.
Funny how you try to refute a comment I made ("You obviously don't know much about Linux") by linking to a post where you say practically the exact same thing
I know how to use and maintain a Windows system, but I only know how to use a Linux system.
(emphasis mine)
Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?
And since you clearly agree with me that you don't know much about Linux, let's repeat this for emphasis:
... maybe you should just not speak about things you don't understand.
Re: Re: Look, the ENTIRE comments section (minus 1) is dedicated to the troll
You know, you are managing to be more annoying than the troll himself.
Yea, my SINGLE comments pointing out the absurdity of replying to the troll are more annoying the the MULTIPLE, often in the teens, replies to him. That's logicial.
Perhaps you find it annoying because you know I'm right: " I do think we shouldn't feed them useless replies (I am guilty of it I admit, it's stronger than me sometimes)"
I've seen some amazing replies to trolls.
So have I. But we both know they are exceedingly rare.
Some of us see nothing wrong with replying, not for the troll's sake, but for others who might read the comments posted.
Yes, thank goodness there are people like you with your giant intellects to come around and protect people who might be persuaded by his lunacy. You're such a hero!

Seriously, do you really think so little of the average person that they can't figure out that Blue is full of shit all by themselves? Do you really think you're that much smarter than everyone?
(Don't bother. It's clear the answer is "Yes" to both of those questions).
Funnily enough, I'm sure Blue quite enjoys your antics,
Actually, I am positive he doesn't because he sure whined about it last time.
Although, come to think of it, you may be right this time. He's got you and a few others on his team. Way to go! Aren't you proud of yourself?
They've got to get a real kick out of knowing that not only are they getting under your skin so much,
It's funny that you think (but are wrong) that they get under my skin, but fail to see that is exactly what Blue is doing when he gets all those responses. And now he's got you on his side. Brilliant!
There's also the part where you're just flat out wrong.
I'm afraid the who is wrong here is you. I did this "campaign" once before and (some) people got on board and were reporting everyone who replied to him. You'd see loooong threads of comments that were hidden. Guess what happened? (Yea, you can see this coming) His comments evaporated. For a while, at least.
This was about 9-12 months ago, maybe a little more. Sorry, I didn't mark it down in my diary.
making the problem worse, not better.
Again, you're wrong. I'm actually trying to improve the situation, and have had success doing so in the past. If you just wanna sit there and bitch about what I'm doing, guess where that leaves you?

Have you ever installed Windows in the last 10 years?
Yep. A VERY big part of what I do for a living is install Windows. In my personal life, I ONLY install Linux. So, yea, I am what you what call an expert on installing both OSs.
Look, the ENTIRE comments section (minus 1) is dedicated to the troll
Way to go everyone! Keep feeding the troll if this is the result you want: utterly idiotic conversations.
Yea, but I'm the one "out of line" for suggesting to report the troll and report everyone who replies to him, because there is clearly a lot of value here.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Great conversation here!
Please point out specifically where I've insulted you, at least any more than you have insulted me.
As for condescension, has it occurred to you that maybe your preachy, know-better-than-thou attitude brought that on?
Incorrect, I'm not on his side, I'm against yours. Far as I'm concerned ...
Oh, ok. So you're allowed to express your opinion, but I should refrain from doing the same. Gotcha.
Hypocrite much?
Regardless of your intent, the effect is of you being on the troll's side. Good job!

Great conversation here!
Seriously, report the troll and the people who respond to him. It will (eventually) suffocate the troll so there can be actual intelligent discussion.
Or, you know, you can just continue to empower him by replying to him. It's exactly what he wants.
