Yeah I agree... It makes me reeeeaaallly mad. Oh well, guess the best thing I can do is trying to hold my tongue even though it's hard since I've got a bit of a temper.

I feel like verbally attacking 'someone' right now.

So this has become a bitching thread for people who are fed up with the bitching they percieve?

MarsConjunctMercury-

I'm fed up with the stupidity of several threads that make NO SENSE at all. And which EVERYONE notices that it's people just trying to breake the equilibrium of this forum.

who said anything about being fed up of the bitching? -

Read more carefully next time you are trying to defend your *buddies*

What I find much, much, much more annoying than the trolls is the fact that troll threads get dozens more answers than many serious, well-intended threads.

Why does the "belgz hotline" thread have 23 replies (and the anti-pisces thread has 115 posts!), while posts discussing what certain placements mean or asking for much more legit chart interpretation help often have far fewer replies, sometimes no replies?

So many interpretations of aspects and placements available online and in books aren't nearly as useful, either for experienced or neophyte astrologers, as a lively discussion of how these aspects actually play out in real people's lives. It can also be very helpful to discuss the interpretation of a real person's chart as a whole, or to discuss transits or synastry.

My suggestion is, the next time any of us feels irritated by a troll, instead of replying to their post, reply to a legitimate post that has only a few replies, and that delves deeply into complex astrological issues.

I'm not saying we shouldn't reply to the troll threads--hell, I do, especially if they generate a lively discussion--it's more that I wish it was easier to get a more complex astrological discussion going here.

Lucia23-

Yes!, I agree with you.

I've never replied to any of their senseless threads.

And, I made this one, because I totally I needed to let all this out.

Not that it takes away my sleep, LOL, just that I really appreciate Lindaland, and was bothered by the fact that very interesting threads were getting lost, due to this other 'empty' troll threads.

Lucia: You are so right!

I try not to pay any attention to the trolly threads - if I do, I reply and get it over with.

If people get this mad about some namesless faceless person that they don't know, well, what will they do when they are facing a real crisis? I guess I'm just used to **** like this, (I've had Pluto in my life touching five friggin' planets for 15 years) so I just don't care.

Ask yourself one thing before getting mad (and paying attention to a troll) do they even matter? I think your answer will be a resounding NO!

Just ignore them and they will get tired of their little game.

xrâräx, I agree. But don't be suprised that MCM is defending them because he's either one of them or all of them if you catch my drift.

Excellent!! Or bump up 10 or 15 good posts from a few months or years ago to get the mindless spew -- the stuff that's only meant to disrupt discussion, get attention of ANY kind, and bring discord -- off the first topics page!!

The problem is when really new noobs come in, not knowing that the OP is a forum-troll, and post in there going "what's going on?" or say something supportive to the troll, which only encourages the subhumans to spew more.....

I'm not defending them. I adore Belg as a person but do not defend her (frankly rude) way of approaching a subject.
Bipolar creases me up, and i am truly mystified as to who he is. So is Belg. I know Belg and me are 2 different people. But even i have my doubts about this Bipolun character. How can one of her pictures in her album reportedly have the same derogatory title that his had i.e, fatpig. I don't get that.
Mind you i don't think Belg would wind me up. So in conclusion i'm intrigued about Bipolun. I notice he never swears too! Interesting.

hiii Dulce Luna!!!

And, just for the record- MUSTANG- If you read one of my post carefully I said that ALL this didn't take away my sleep. I don't make of this forum my life, but I enjoy coming here and reading/asking/writing about Astrology; therefore it bothered me to see all those senseless threads.

And felt like speaking up.

Ohhhh I'm so aggressive!- I get so mad about little things ..., I probably do not know how to handle real life crisis.
*insert ironic tone*

jee

I'm out of this thread.

That wasn't even directed at you, specifically. It was an observation about human behaviour - if someone is getting this bent out of shape about a few annoying threads that are completely insignificant to their life, well, I think that means that they're thin - skinned. I think it's a fair assumption.

I think you like the drama or you wouldn't have started ANOTHER thread giving the trolls exactly what they want.I find it odd that you don't like that there are threads unrelated to astrology, but then you start one of your own. Not only is it counterintuitive, but it's giving them the attention that they crave. You're just feeding into what they they want, ya know.

Why don't you just not read their threads if they bother you so much? (See above paragraph for answer )
It's like those people who complain about certain music or tv programs - turn the channel!

How are you even any different from them? I have a different point of view and you jump down my throat because of it. Not to mention that you started a thread to polarize the board. This is actually a troll thread too, really.

Well I sure as hell do not like it and I'm commenting. If it's not this shyt, it's another retarded "Oh, aren't Cancers something" by guess what? A Cancer! They do it constantly. Or the pisces crap...This board IS pathetic. It's about 5 immature, idiotic people who've ruined the whole thing and run off the more meaningful posters. The longer it continues the less chance the board will even survive as what it was meant to be.

I don't think that what I did is what the trolls want. But what you are doing now, it really is.

Besides, I didn't jump at you for having a different point of view, BUT because you made an "observation about human behavior" (that as a human being I felt included) and because, after all, like you said, it was ME who started the thread.

You like to judge. But you don't know anything about me, so don't make assumptions about the way I am.

I don't like drama.
Do you?

If u are so balanced and not "thin-skinned" like me, then you should just ignore all this 'screaming for drama thread'

And let me tell you, just one more thing, I usually do what you said: "turn the channel"- but we all have our days. And I didn't want to change the channel today!

However, I'm all up if the Moderators of this forum want to delete this thread, because, I see, after all, is not productive at all.
