Macnamara Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 21 minutes ago, KingKitty said: The last five or so pages of this thread illustrate one of the main reasons I had decided to drop off the forum a couple of months ago. Around that time, I had noticed a great many new members to the forum appeared rather suspicious and insincere. The overall feel and tone of this forum has been changing, as a result. To me, it's quite clear who these individuals are, as well as their intentions. The solutions is to simply offer them no response. You don't even have to put them on "ignore", just simply stop responding. I completely understand what you are saying there is a shift in our society towards people acting out in a childish way because there are no consequences for their lack of respect. There are a lot of people in our corporate dominated world who don't really understand what it is to take responsibility for anything. They are children in adult bodies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebird Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 1 hour ago, sock muppet said: I don't think it's possible to completely eradicate the phenomena known as trolling, if it's on topic then it's on topic, but @Firebird was asked to provide evidence to back up the insistent claim that the poster had, and provided none, therefore to prevent the thread from being cluttered with nonsense a delay of some arbitrary amount, just like when you first join, indicates to the poster to remain faithful to the thread with genuine information. Sharing my experience with corona isn't ''trolling''. You come in contact with different views and you assume it's trolling. That's worrying if that's how you view other people. However, sharing my experience or that of others is no evidence for you. Hearing it from researchers is also not what you'll accept. What you want is something I can't give you. You need to go to a lab and see it yourself, study the lab samples. Perhaps they can make a TV show about it and invite non-believers. Maybe that will help, IDK. I suppose some would still deny it ''cuz it's on TV so it can't be real''. Some will just waddle along and dismiss everything. It's like flat Earth believers.

Dude, this is the ''Coronavirus Mega-Thread''. A bloody mega thread, so all things coronavirus. That means you can say it doesn't exist and I can share my experience with it and say it exists. That's not trolling at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined in Dec 2020, never really contributed to forums before but I was going nuts *knowing* convid1984 was a hoax all by myself as no one in my immediate believed me - all thought I was certifiable and I "felt" like I really needed to express my *anger* *fear* *trepadation* *thoughts* in a place where I wouldn't be openly ridiculed hahaha "big shot"- what made you think that? out of curiosity. I remember when I started joining in on conversations I was polite (and think I still am for the most part, unless people are rude for no reason as that always grinds my gears lol - but I get over things quickly ) - I only get on my high- occasionally - apologies all I don't think my posts are, but thank you for your kind words/feedback, appreciate it.

How is it that every time you are asked to prove this, compared with the plethora of evidence that this is not the case, all we here is from you is radio ga ga, radio goo goo?

You're welcome. I don't know what made me think "big shot" to be honest. I'm just a wanker sometimes, as we all are. Seriously though, I value this forum highly and it would be a real shame to see so much work from genuinely awake people go to the dogs. I know there are others who have contributed much more than I and people like @skitzorat @oddsnsods @EnigmaticWorld @Velma @Golden Retriever @Macnamara @Bombadil and of course @Ziggy Sawdust make/made some damn fine observations over the last 2 years. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm judging you. That inevitability will be yours and yours alone. Sorry, I'm not following you after the first part... I'll say it one more time: nothing will satisfy the skeptics except maybe seeing it for themselves in a lab. It's like saying there is no Antarctica even when you are shown pictures, stories, satellite images etc. YOu can say it is all fabrication. If that is your level of skepticism then the solution is to take matters into your own hands and see it for yourself.
