Blue.
No... green!

The Spyderco forum has always seemed to me not to be the kind of forum where we make troll lists. That can get subjective and is a bit too close to rolling in the mud. Something we strive to avoid. It's generally best to leave that kind of thing to the forum administrators/mods. They are pretty good, though usually work quietly. I'd honestly feel bad if they had to jump into a post due to my actions and I'd guess a lot of the regulars here feel pretty similar. Care for yourself, let the mods do the rest. :)

Joe is giving you the benefit of the doubt...might be better to read a while before you stir this pot.

The only trolling I've seen recently was from someone calling themselves Large Marge ....

Are you serious?

I laughed when I read this thread.

Here is my recap. Someone with the name "Large Marge" who had at most 4 posts when the thread was created and joined the forum this month is asking why there are so many trolls. Every bit of it sounds troll-ish. Wasn't "Large Marge" a troll character in a movie?

If you are serious, here are some things that I think cause it. I think it has to do with people believing the wrong side of the media and that only bad people carry knives. There are people out there that pretend to be things they are not. The whole zombie and tactical trends seem to dig at people to be more troll-ish as well.

Every forum I have ever seen has had trolls and I don't think this forum has a higher percentage of them, but the people here seem to get taken by them easier. When a troll starts a thread about why something sucks, you get all sorts of people who are normally very rational... get bothered and answer with their feelings and not with reason.

Yes. Your OP is more inflammatory than anything I've read here lately. This is a nice place compared to most on the internet. Let's keep it that way. Asking people to point fingers in public isn't contributing anything positive.

Same reaction here.....somebody is looking for some attention. :rolleyes:

Ah...is a pattern emerging?

I've never read a more rediculous opening post for a thread. No more from me.

Sorry, I forgot. Welcome to the forum.

Not sure if there's a Large Marge troll character from another film, but I do remember there being a Large Marge that is an undead truck driver from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
