Martin 20 minutes into the future
Carl-E:
I wa stalking about your recent posts that came to mind, in which you seemed to revel in your provocateur status more than anything. But I really do appreciate that you're finally putting some reasoning behind your opinions, it makes it easier to have a conversation!
I think though that he'd not been a knoght in shining armor. He's just a good friend to his friends. he had been putting a lot of time and energy into the relationship with Dora, but from his point of view, that was for him, at least partially. He's not completely selfless, he's just less selfish than most.
Hyperbole makes a good paintbrush, but it hides the details.

Really?
Boomslang:
Well, if Marten DID try heroin, I'm pretty sure he would no longer give a damn about Dora.
But,
A. Marten probably couldn't find a heroin dealer in the first place.
B. Oh, it's just about the worst solution possible.
But he does work in a library, he might be one of the few individuals who can still do their job while on smack.

Don't misunderstand me - I do revel in the position of provocateur, but you can't stir shit if there isn't shit to stir.
I'm currently re-reading all of my comments on the Epic Locked WCDT thread, and so far I'm fairly pleased with my conduct there.

Now _that_ would be interesting. I don't believe Jeph would do that, but it would certainly keep my eyes locked on the screen..
Carl-E:
I skipped the last 10 pages of that thread, I may go back in at some point. I was only judging by the shattered post-lock threads.
While you can't stir shit when there's none to stir, just stirring it for the sake of stirring it leaves everyone with a bad impression of you.
Not to mention the smell...

There is evidence of this having already happened. Much of this is due to the fact that, while Wiregeek was, on occasion, intentionally abrasive, his attempts at abrasion couldn't hold a candle to most of the efforts of the character whose name I forgot, but who started off with an avatar of a crossed-out Dora with grown-out hair, and who now wields a blowfish as avatar. It may well be that some of the irritation caused by said blowfish rubbed off on Wiregeek, who mainly stood out by expressing his hate for Dora, and his desire to have the storyline go in the direction he desires, rather than sit back and enjoy someone else's story. Repeatedly, ad nauseam, to the point where it almost becomes the focus of his forum persona. This is interesting behaviour, but not nearly trolling. At times, Wiregeek is rather sincere, even though you may not agree with him. He reminds me a lot of my kids when they were younger.
Having said that, I do have an opinion about intentionally causing mayhem just for the fun of it. You probably know as well as I do that the worst idea is to 'feed the troll'. If the intent is to get you angry, and you do get angry, they've accomplished what they set out to do. Same as with kids, really.
