Yes. If you kindle a Kindle you can feel as Hitler felt burning all the books in Germany without the hassle amassing a political movement.



Yes, because I can more easily take that which you aren't using.



Curse you sudden but inevitable betrayal.



I for one welcome our strong AI overlords.

They aught to use ^this^ to replace:

I would say "BIJOURACKTM but I'd just as soon avoid Nobbys' internet lawyers.

Correction, me getting mute is just a bonus. That wasn't the intent. You said yourself that OOT wants to entertain itself by having others go through emotional breakdowns. Your intent was not for me to get muted but to react to your trolling. How can you do that if the person can't respond? What's the point of trolling if the person can't respond? The two can't co-exist at the same time.

You can't troll a muted person, because the muted person can't respond. There is no way of knowing if your trolling is successful under that circumstance.

That is not to say that having that person muted isn't funny or an acceptable conclusion as well, such as, "I'm trolling you, but I would love for you to get muted".

As stated before, I'm not a "victim". Posters responses are very predictable, that is why I post. I post knowing that you will respond a certain way in order for me to have fun. Your trolling is done with the same intent, hoping that I will respond in a certain way. So, if I'm a "victim", then likewise, you are a "victim".

Here's a metaphor:

You state that you're living "Pay-check to pay-check" and need to find something to do to get a little cash. I know that you're thievish, but at the same time has too much pride to ask for money. As a result, I purposely leave out a few dollars on my desk knowing that you will steal it. You steal the money and pay off some bills.

I'm not a victim in this situation because I purposely placed myself in that situation and allowed you to steal from me for my own personal goal.



I'm not denying the fact that I got muted is a win, I even stated that in the previous post that it was a "bonus", but that is exactly what it is, a bonus. It was not the intent and I'm smart enough to realize that.



Simply put, your goal can not be to troll and have me muted simultaneously.


I was not "trolled for 24hrs". There weren't any trolling done after I got muted, the thread effectively died. Then all of the sudden, when I come back, people started posting again, i.e. you. This completely supports my claim that your intention was not to mute me, but to ridicule me in attempt to make myself look foolish.


If it had been any trolling, it would have been because they knew I was going to come back within 24 hours, which supports the desire of me NOT being muted. Otherwise, why don't you make up a fictitious person and just troll him/her for your heart's desire?!?!?!

It has been well established that I only respond to other posts, so if you don't want me talking, then you would simply stop replying to me. But people don't, because that's not what they want. The fact that I got muted is just a funny bonus that just so happened. It was never the original intent, because if you didn't want me talking, then you wouldn't attempt to troll me.



Here's a metaphor

Kid A in school has been having conflicts with kid B in school. Kid A knows that Kid B has aggressive behavior and loves attention. Kid A knows that if he were to walk up to him in the court yard during lunch that Kid B would make a scene and try to hit him with a left hook. Kid A has been looking for a fight, but he doesn't want to start it because he would get in more trouble, so it's best to allow Kid B to start the fight in front of everyone so he can deal damage by "defending" himself.

Kid A walks up to Kid B and sure enough he does exactly what he anticipated. He gathered a big crowd and swung a left hook. Kid A, predicting his move, dodges it and round house kicks kid B in the face. As kid B falls down, his right leg accidentally bumps up against Kid A's leg while he's in the air, causing him to stumble down, falling on his butt.

I'm Kid A who predicted your movements, lead you into attacking me and roundhouse kicked you in the face who later just so happen to fall down, but got back up.

The trollers are Kid B who got kicked in the face but wants to focus on the fact that kid A fell on his butt in order to bypass their own embarrassment.

Please explain, maybe I am mistaken...

the lengths of alma's posts are directly proportional to his obliviousness.

Maybe I'm reading to deep into it, but the way I see it is, "driving someone off the board or suicide" has the same conclusion of being mute, not talking.

So you think it's impossible to want to torture someone to death, then?

Your argument makes no sense whatsoever, but even if it did it would still require people to be unable to have goals that are illogical or self destructive.

The laws of probability demand it.

You don't want to torture them indefinitely, either. I mean, surely you have better things to do with your time at some point. So when they die it's sort of a "oh good, I can get on with things" scenario.

You can analogize this to your own situation however you like.
