Ok, so I usually don't comment on reports in the regular forum, but I'll just leave these points: 1) Our definition of trolling differs from the standard definition of trolling, precisely because everyone trolls from time to time, it's just the nature of the Internet. What we don't allow are people who troll repeatedly. 2) You don't see anything being done about that for two reasons. Firstly, because staff discussions about reports happen in a private subforum which you don't have access to, and secondly, because the post in question is a little over an hour old, the report regarding it is less than an hour old, and the staff aren't superhumans who can discuss and come to decisions on every report in an hour. Sometimes it takes days to reach a decision on a report. 3) I was about to figure out why without being a detective, so you are actually correct in regards to your last point.

How low are some of your pre-conceived notions? (January 5, 2017 at 1:27 pm)Shell B Wrote: There's a common misconception that moderators and admins have to behave a certain way. They're not expected to. Napo knows that. If LP were acting as a moderator, he would behave as a moderator should. The rest of the time, he's just a member saying what he wants, which is his right. When a black guy shot and killed a couple of police officers from a tall building several months ago, I remember plenty of people blaming it on cops. I wouldn't go so far as to say they were "defending" the act, but they certainly seemed to be sympathizing and shifting the focus of the blame away from the killer himself. But other than a CNN Panelist, I haven't seen anyone else do that yet in this particular case. Hopefully it stays that way.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Let me rephrase, if I could go back in time, and do it once, I would. As it is, I ofcourse wouldn't do it again. It's already got the required reaction so doing it again would be a bit boring.

Then your purpose was to call me out? You have something to say, say it, don't cower under another subject.

I myself have only now seen the report and gone through the thread to get up to speed. That must make me part of the conspiracy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
