It would seem that only a few words, can change the world. Observe.

Though I have not cussed anybody out, or even ACTUALLY flamed somebody, roughly 15 posts have in a small part rocked the NS world. I sit back and am ion awe at the somewhat excessive reaction to my posts, which were for the most part, only there to prove a subtle point rather than actually insult anyone.

Now, for any of you who are still wondering I was not ACTUALLY insulting anyone. Rather, I was providing the setup to prove a point.

My point you might ask? Nothing more than that in roughly 15 posts, I Galliam, can rock your world.

That is all -_-

Actually, almost all of those posts were flames.

On the surface maybe, but no actual harm was intended, and I was hoping that that would be picked up on (it wasn't) So at any rate, my above post still stands.

You're kind of corny. Think about it dude, you're taking pride in getting people riled up in an internet forum. That's pretty lame, don't you think?

It doesn't matter what you meant. Sarcasm can't be detected on the internet. Thus, it is still a rules violation.

Yeah quite sure those posts = flames... =\.

Yeah kinda pathetic...

As long as my statement is made. On the flipside, these ionternet people are getting riled up over a relatively small thing that one person has done.

Which is more what my point is about.



And yes, sarcasm can be detected on the internet, otherwise the Onion wouldn't be funny.

Just out of curiousity, do intentionally post these things in order to insult or upset people?

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts rude or offensive messages on the Internet, such as in online discussion forums, to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants (see Anonymous Internet posting). "Troll" can also mean the message itself or be a verb meaning to post such messages. "Trolling" is also commonly used to describe the activity. For more discussion on definitions, see below. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_trolls)

Oh yeah, it's all the rage these days... there are trolls... erm, I mean study takers all over this board doing valuable scientific work.

I likes this guy! One more mind, opened to the simple truth.

Hey now, My study was out to prove a point, which was in my opinion, made. So I ended it. I will defend my points and beliefs to the death.

it is good that some people can detect sarcasm, we are well proud of them. *sarcasm* Others cannot. Perhaps you should consider modifying your posts to include a *sarcasm* tag like I have, and people might be less inclined to call you for flaming/griefing/trolling/boorish-ing, whatnot.
and anyways, i know people who've thought the Onion was for real.

One, that would have defeated the purpose, at least for me. I don't feel I should have to qualify my statements, especially on a forum of intelligent people.

Two, Unfortunately, I know people like that too. For some reason, many more since I moved to Kansas.

To the death? Want to debate sometime?

You know, I find it interesting that you are talking about how sarcasm makes them not flames, when you apparentally failed to realize that this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10656881&postcount=39) was humor.

I find it all quite humorous, really...

Actually, I did. I was being sarcastic to sarcasm. I'm not as dumb as I look. ;)

Freed mind brother! Thats exactly what the aim was. Make a point, a little humor. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be taken THIS seriously, though I'm glad it was. This way, there is way more exposure.

I'm not a huge on most debates that go on here.

Abortion, Left vs. Right, God etc... I find it pointless to argue about such things. Now, about my artistic expression, thats something I'll get adament about.

Aha. Well, the way you said, as opposed to sounding witty you sounded a bilt like an overbearing twit. No offense.

I take it then, that you do admit that meat pies actually exist?

Lol. Debate deathmatches?

No they don't! they're a conspiracy!

It could be part of the Pornist religion.

I've heard of them, yes. Mincemeat that is. Figure its the same thing.

I like how you quote your own post.

Were you also just being sarcastic to sarcasm here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10657189&postcount=42)? Or are you full of shit?

Obviously, full of shit. -_-

Just so we're clear.

And in regards to your second post in this thread, if intent is all flaming is measured on, if I called you a stupid douchebag whose mother is a whore, that wouldn't be flaming because I don't intend it to harm?

Come on! I want to see what it's like to debate to the death.

Wait, debate is the thing with the swords or pistols, right?

I wouldn't consider it flaming, because I realize its the internet and has no real bearing on my life.

All that would be to me is childish goading, something that I aggressively engage in myself. Its fun, you all should try it.

No no no. That's called "high school".

Those are fun too... :cool:

No no no. You actually have to kill him with your debate. Example.

:cool: Well I think that pineapples are great.

:p Pineapples want to kill you in your sleep.

:cool: What?

:p My cousin had a pineapple fall on him this one time while he was sleeping in the grocery store and it landed on his throat and he had to go to the hospital and everything and he barely made it out of there alive and that's why I don't think that pineapples are cool because they'll try to kill you in your sleep like they did my cousin only he survived, but how many mysterious deaths are caused by pineapples we must wonder

:cool: Has a heart attack due to trying to comprehend this arguement.

Awesome! :p So, how's your cousin now?

Poetry in an insult.

Thank you? I'm not sure if you're complimenting me.

I have but 3 words to add to this.
