In response to the bible, and equally credible book once wrote:
"Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the stinky cheese man."
This... The reason why using religious text on the internet is usually a bad idea (in a non religious setting)... The only reason to bring a religious text into a discussion is for added credibility and authority. A point can be valid in its own right. Since the internet is a diverse place, using a religious text for added credibility and authority is useless as not everybody recognizes it as such making it moot. Worse yet, this is not the best scripture to use as we already established that certain kinds of trolls can be a problem because they refuse to change... That’s a given. What we need is the scripture where God restores order with a stern talk and ostracism.
@Tessra: Oh and think for a moment about how many “serious” or neutral posts you’ve seen from Irishman and compare that with his post count. If you can find more than 10 PM me and I’ll send back a cookie.
“If you always joke around, people will hesitate to take you seriously” <-- This is the very point I am making. If someone other than Irishman had posted it, it might still have the same weight, but since Irishman spends most of his time joking around the original post looses its power.
To a certain extent, people need to chill to deal with trolls. Getting in an uproar every time someone posts a less than nice thread doesn’t help. It’s like dealing with a child that cuts up for attention. The more of a fuss you make about its behavior, the more it will act up. The best thing is to ignore what you can and swiftly, but decisively discipline when necessary. Therefore, part of the problem is that active mods like Neko need to be put on the complaint section and other problem areas so they can actually mod the stuff that needs it. Shame that in all this time that solution hasn’t been applied.
And Drey a god? PSSSSHHHHTTT!
He doesn’t even have centralized holy scripture explaining his origin.
