the tale of the happy kingdom

once in a country far away there lived a happy peaceful people
who got on their lives doing every day stuff chores and chatted with others
about every day life things
but the country was not always peaceful there lives horrible trolls there
there were many different types of trolls wood trolls, hill trolls and mountain trolls
but the worst one of all was the pyro troll
it was a hideous creature who lived of flames provides to it by the inhibitors of the country
it stole their attention and the more it got the more powerful it became
even curious people who just wanted to see what the troll was up to feed it's power
and increases it's strength
one day the people got an idea they decides they ignoring the troll who obviously required
their attention to live would be the perfect way to conqueror it's hold on their happy kingdom
they pretended the troll was not there
they didn’t reply to anything the troll said
they didn’t even click in on the treads the troll posted
the less attention the troll got the smaller it became until in the end
it was tiny and insignificant and you could hardly se it with your bare eye
the vicious hold of the pyrotroll was broken and the kingdom was saved and people could move on with
their everyday lives
the troll never posted commercials again
:twisted: :evil: 8)

You forgot to say 'good-looking' too.

Its a shame this country doesnt have any almighty moderators who can rid the country of these trolls in just a few clicks. One of the ingrediants of a happy kingdom is a leader, without one the pyro trolls will never go away.
I think we really havent done him any favours replying, when people do a google on his service to see if its a scam they will find that topic and quickly conclude that it is one.

the migthy protector of the country is slumbering and we can all pray that if the need truely arise the protector will wake from the dream and strike down the enemies in a swift blow

Maybe the king should appoint a new knight, because all the appointed knights are off, fighting other dragons, seeking other quests. Which is what knights do, when all seems quiet in the homeland.

maybe you should apply you are a just fellow pure at hart and spirite
and spend long hours seeking the welfare of the kingdom
you as well as any should be able to forefill that role of knight of protector of the kingdom we soo love

I also think the king should appoint a knight or two - especially a jedi knight

Who else to than to a five star member should this honour fall?
I'll try and see if i can send a messenger to the king.

I meant jedi Rudegar

spidermans uncle quote
"with great power comes great responsiblity"
responsibility is work
i'm a free spirite having too much responsibility would not suit me
so i'd rather be a shepherd it's lovely nature and you make your own
squadual have a stra hat plus a whistle plus all the sheep you can hhhhmmmmm eat

lmao :lol:
Rudegar, M4io, dcs and cruisin-thru for our kingdom's protectors!
The campaign starts here!

The king appears to be dead. Long live the king . . . .

The king PP is very much alive, he just likes to rule in silence.
In the meanwhile a full eclips has past thru our kingdom, and only the kings first knight Itsme was able to beat the dragon responsible for darkening the sun in our lifes.
Even under siege PP has found the time to appoint your servant as an apprentice. Although ignorant about the great mysteries of ruling, I will try to keep an eye on the simple things of government. (One thread causing grieve has been blasted in the abyss of obliviance).
I can only hope to prove myself worthy of such great honour bestowed upon me.

The question is... could the troll have had anything to do with the dragon?!?

national feelings

read in another thread about people talking about national feelings and patriotism and the likes
i never really understod the concept at all
when the country i live in win at sports, win a war (been 1k years )
invent a timemachine break guiness record of standing on ones head
i really dont get how it should reflect on me for better or worse
i never contributed to any of it apart from being born a surden place
i fail to see how i could take pride in any of it
sure i vote and i agree and is happy about some aspects on the system of where i live but i'm 1 in 5million
i can only really take any pride in things I do myself
maybe it's kinda like religion with feeling strengh in feeling one is a part of something bigger then oneself
who knows
but in the grand sceme of things i believe that nationalism have caused more wars in the history then religion
where religion have just been used as an excuse alot more

Group Identity mate. It sucks. Same reason people go crazy over a stupid football team.
If people thought for themselves and had a little personal accountability this world would be very different.

I agree. people forget that our phsycology is also an artifact of evolution. after all, as a group we are very successful.
the culture here pays lip service to patriotism but it seems to me that in countries like America people genuinely feel that patriotism. Propogander/media must play a big roll in this behavior.

nothing wrong with patriotism. but it tends to go overboard. nationalism does cause conflict but it also gives people a sense of belonging.

my dad gave me a great sense of practicality. his philosophy is: there are really no losers in sports except the fan. both teams, both players on both sides are millionaires. when they lose a game they don't kill themselves. when the season is over they go home to a mansion. the only loser is the fan who thinks life is over after their team lost.

What counts as trolling?

If I were to in insult the HTC HD2 would I be considered trolling?
If I praised it instead, would I be considered trolling to?
If took a dump on the iPhone, would I be a troll?
If I praised the iPhone, would I be a troll?

Well, I think the context certainly helps in determining whether something is trolling, as is the way one says it. If you talk about how great the iPhone is in a respectful manner and in the General Discussion subforum or the Off-Topic subforum, that's not really trolling at all. If you go to the HD2 subforum and make a thread that's about how the iPhone is so much better than Windows Mobile, and how the HD2 sucks so much, there's no doubt about it that you're trolling.
It's the same if you go to an iPhone forum and create threads talking about how the HD2 is so much better than their stupid iPhones. All four situations you listed could be done in a manner that would be considered offensive/trolling, and all four could be done in a respectful manner in the appropriate places and be more or less acceptable for that forum.

I think DaveTheTytNIIGuy pretty much sums it up. The context is all important.
I tend to think of Trolls as folk who are being unnecessarily black and white about something and posting it where common sense would tell you it will stir up animosity rather than measured discussion.
Another mark of Trolls for me is their past posting history. Do they always post controversial, argument-enciting posts, or are they most often calm sensible posters. Just sometimes what can look like a Troll post is actually a bit of a vent by a normally sensible person who for whatever reason has become very frustrated.
A person with only 10 posts all of which stir up controversy is probably a Troll.
A person with a few hundred calm, sensible posts and one that is "having-a-go" at something, is not a Troll and should be read carefully without letting your emotions run high.
JMHO
Mike

IMHO, I would add to that;
excessive use of inappropriate language (cursing/swearing)
gender and ethnic profiling
provoking/inciting comments about a fellow member and/or viewpoint
intentionally fueling an already volatile discussion
Essentially ... a 'NO' answer to this question: "If I respond in this manner, will it contribute to the discussion at hand in a positive fashion?"

As it would happen, we have the perfect example

XDA devs is one of the few forums that doesn't warrant my trolly side.
I see no reason to rile anyone up here, we're all in the same boat and are generally intelligent people who are on a quest for knowledge, holding their devices in high regard!
That said, OP, you sound like a clueless 12-year old spamming newbie! Only an 1337-speaking loser would post an iPhone thread on XDA whining about how Apple is better than HTC, and place it in the wrong forum. LAME. You then continued to bump your thread with a double-posted off-topic "YOU ALL SUCK" message in all caps, uninteresting with a mean tone of voice, with no information that was true.
You must now apologize to everyone in this forum, post something relevent, then give up your AOL internet account. After that, you must bust up your modem then eat it, and go stand in the middle of an intersection. If that doesn't work, then jump into a bathtub holding your monitor.
After posting something relevant, you must never post again (take your crap somewhere else), and go play with your Dress-Up Barbie because your IQ is about 6. Get a life, man! I pity your family! Just please, do us all a favor and jump into some industrial equipment.
Thank you for your cooperation

Good 'ol trolling!!! What a joy

The other day I installed that selfaware.cab from here and my HD2 shouted '******!' at someone using an iPhone in the street
Needless to say, the iPhone user went into the fetal position and burst into tears.

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!! that made my monday!!

This thread is fake and gay.
That's some classic trolling.

I have an HD2, my boyfriend has an iPhone.. things are complicated..
Seriously though, if anyone actually tries to claim that the iPhone is "better" than the HD2, they are either:
- An apple fanboy
- Ignorant
- A troll
- An engineer (i.e someone who gets off on the iPhone's build and design quality and completely ignores its total lack of functionality.)
My boyfriend falls into the 1st and 4th category. He tells me about the iPhone's beautifully machined buttons, how they cost $1 per button as opposed to the $0.02 that other phone companies spend. But then he has to sign off skype whenever he wants to check his train times, and then he cries.

Keep an eye on him my friend -- just the other day I had some random sonofabitch message me on Skype with "r u in2 ifonez? u gt cam?" -- before I could even respond with a mandatory pwning he had signed off, most likely to check train times.
You may have stated various times over the years that he was a guy who didn't warrant any 'giving up' on, but that was before the iPhone was invented and he got hold of one.
Gotta make you understand, Mr. Astley, the iPhone SUCKS.

Only on video, which leads into the next common trolling phrase:
Pics or gtfo.

I do have difficulty sometimes with this topic. I oftentimes just post my true opinions and people have called it trolling. I sometimes can filter but sometimes I'm just putting in my two sense. I saw the thread on Iceland photos and wanted to post my thoughts on Iceland that I don't really care if that country sank and was completely eliminated, but I stopped myself, thinking that it would be misinterpreted as trolling.

Marquez

Marquez u prove to b number one pacquiao is just a logo from bob arum sorry if thisvdoesnt belong just tell me and ill deleted i just had to post this best robbery ever

I agree, Marquez worked Pacman over in that fight and got mugged off by the judges. This is another reason that boxing is dying, the fights are fixed. They did it to ensure a big money fight with Mayweather who must now be able to grow a pair, after seeing that fight, and take the fight with Pacman instead of ducking him.
On the other hand, Junior Dos Santos defeated Cain Velasquez decisively via TKO in the first round to win the UFC heavyweight title whilst carrying a torn meniscus. Whilst there were a few weird judging scores at the UFC event it didn't end up robbing the true winner of the fights as the other judges got it right.

Off-topic please.

I'm going to have to disagree and i think that's the point
These judges have a different criteria for judging. Fight itself was close, very close. I gave most of the rounds to Marquez in the first half and most of the rounds to Pacquiao in the second half. I really think it was Marquez that lost the fight by letting off towards the end. If he felt that he got robbed in the first two fights (which i agree that second fight should have been a draw), he should have made sure that this didn't happen for the third time.
Now in terms of judging criteria, there really isn't a standard and this is the same issue that MMA faces where some judges favor attackers based on aggressiveness, controlling the flow of the fight (meaning the action is initiated by this person) and actual number of punches landed (punch stats showed just that)
MMA judging is even worse since they have added elements of submission, takedowns, etc. Making it even harder to figure out what each judge "favors"

Don't tell me about how awful MMA judging is mate. I saw a judges card after a fight and he had me losing even though I battered the guy the whole first round, good thing I KO'ed him in the 2nd. He had the guy winning the round because I slipped throwing a headkick and my opponent ended up in my guard for all of 30 seconds or so and landed a single punch to my chest so he scored it 10 - 9 for my opponent.
I've had training partners losing via very dodgy judging on more than one occasion as well so I'm acutely aware of the problems with uneducated people judging mma bouts.
edit: I was commenting on the judging for this particular UFC event and not MMA on a whole in my previous post.

Cool story. You are my hero.

It was a close fight as these two are made for each other. Marquez did exactly what he said he was not going to do and that is leave it to the judges.
Both him and pacquiao were way too conservative.

[Q] 7-1 paris terrrorist attack, how do you think about it?

so, i'm curious how the users of xda think about the charlie hebdo attack of last week?
i think the UN should compile an army force and send them out to the middle east to prevent the terrorist groups
from traveling further and try to prevent groups from attacking innocent and harmless civillians (anywhere in the world)!
i believe the people of Isis and Al-qaeda should be taken out by force! honestly i don't approve of any violence! however in this
case the diplomatic way didn't had any positive result! therefore for the first time i'm saying yes to open fire! obama and other worldleaders should
finally put action to their words! these terroristgroups are an absolute thread to freedom of speech and expression!
so please give youre opinion and you're thoughts about this awful tragedy
(sorry for my broken english) i'm dutch :silly:
my condolances to the victims and family of the fallen!
je suis charlie

And as such the victims will have died in vain. Charlie Hebdo stood for freedom of speech through humour. They abhorred violence.
Murdering others because you don't agree with their ideas, however controversial they may be, makes you no better than those who murder others because they disagree with their ideas.
Murdering innocent people because you're upset over a cartoon is pure cowardice. It's not brave, it doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a pathetic coward.
But answering violence with more violence isn't the answer. That's how this whole mess started in the first place.
The problem here is religion. For as long as history can remeber, people have been slaughtering innocents in the name of some fictitious god. Christianity is no better, or have people forgotten about the crusades?
Cue more butthurt people now painting a target on my head just for saying that. Freedom of speech kids, it works both ways. You get to preach about your god to those who don't want you to, and we get to ridicule it. If we aren't allowed to ridicule it, you're not allowed to preach to us. It's both sides of the blade.
Religious followers being upset because someone drew their fictitious figurehead is as ridiculous as all of us going on a murderous rampage because someone drew the Android robot with a pink hat. But people are so brainwashed from birth that they can't see the sheer idiocracy of what they're doing.
That is what lies at the heart of this. But nobody wants to see it. All the imams have condemned the attack, but not a single muslim is willing to take a good hard look at their religion and see that it needs to change. In the west we have learned to accept (the hard way) that there are others who believe different, and we have learned to share our lives with them. We accept that someone won't pray at dinner, that someone won't thank a god every evening. Now it's time for muslims to make that growth as well.
What none of them realized is that those controversial catroons weren't meant as an insult.
The west learned through Apartheid that a seperate society doesn't work. We adapted.
The French shared their country, their lives and their culture with the muslims who came to live in France. They took them into their schools, their busses, their shops, their homes. They gave them the same rights and liberties as citizens.
Charlie Hebdo welcomed them into their lives by sharing their humour with them.
And as a reward for their acceptance, they were murdered.
And that is unacceptable. It is also why there is now such a backlash. If you come to live in our counties and want to share in our lives and become. A part of our society, you can't cherrypick the parts you want. It's all or nothing. You want the right to practise your religion in our society, then we retain the right to practise our humour.
I have gained a newfound respect for mayor Aboutaleb. That man should be an example to all muslims.

A wonderful humanist once said an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Then I look at history the Christian crusades where many were murdered. Centuries later into the 21st century where Muslims, and I'm not meaning all Muslims, have the spotlight in committing many heartless acts against humanity. The cost of human life..................... the torture ,abuse,deprivation or murder of a human being there is never an excuse for that. I'm assuming these individuals have a built up, or have instilled in them, a hatred for the western way of life and use religion as an excuse to commit atrocities.
Apatheid indeed did not work, several of my friends who are Caucasian have worked in South Africa and it was an unsafe place to be for them.
There will be a balance for both, I'm thinking 2 or 3 lifetimes away. Hope is almost always a positive thing.
I have Muslim friends, some I have known most of my life and they are very different to what I have seen in the media.
I think I have written enough I'm emotionally drained.
Round and round we go

Political threads aren't really something that we allow. To much potential for emotions to get out of hand resulting in flaming of members.
