>>56893501>>56922123I'm going to go off on a limb here because some people (not targeted) don't seem to know the distinction between friend and foe. The reason that these people are ostensibly trolls is because they don't contribute anything at all to the thread. All they do is wait for when someone appears to be vulnerable and try to dupe actual contributors into dogpiling on them. Whenever you ask them about who they are or what they've contributed, they always give some variant of "I keep my complaints separate from my writing". They do this because they don't actually have anything to back themselves up. It's why they refer to themselves in vague terms like "we" or "I" and it's why they pretend to have been here when they really haven't, and it's also why they try to mimic the behaviors of established users. Likewise, anytime you point this out, they start running around in circles saying "Anyone who disagrees with you is a troll". They don't know how to argue. They just know how to point the finger. They don't criticize constructively. They never back up any of the inane claims that they make up about their targets. Contrast this with the people that they complain about who actually verifiably have contributed something to the thread. Sure, our stuff might not be palatable or even good but at least we MADE SOMETHING. In the words of Archivist, "If you are creating, it means that they are not", and in the words of Bill Murray, "It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it’s damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person", and in the words of Joseph Goebbels, "Accuse the other of that which you are guilty". You simply can't win with these people. They will forever be stuck in a parroting cycle of "I'm not deflecting, you're deflecting" because above all else their aim is to confuse and obfuscate details by slinging shit and hoping that someone is dumb enough to allow it to stick. There is very little that separates them from Shaun
