I thought the answer would be "suicide".

I was so tempted to post that on your thing, when you were writing about reasons you might not be around. Lol.

I suggested that people be temp banned for 2 days, then 2 weeks, then permanently.

NO SIR. THIS IS A COMMUNITY AND WE DO NOT EXILE OUR MEMBERS.

Isn't that what we all hate about reddit? Why not just do 2 day bans. Amelia will have a blast banning people for 2 days, nobody is permed, everyone wins.

Do me a solid and make up and/or leave Amelia out of it.

She is integral to my plan.

I didn't know either—I've missed a few mini-series over the years. So here is Urban Dict on based: The quality of having an opinion without regard for what other people think, often a controversial opinion but not always. Upon expressing such an opinion it is customary for others to acknowledge the person as being based.

Ah, well that sounds nice.

I thought is was also associated with conservatives, the Right, and/or Alt-Right. Or maybe that's just the examples I've seen, aside from Shoe0nHead.

Also, while not necessarily, it seems like it's often a compliment and praise for being courageous in your convictions.

I agree completely but that was the most upvoted definition on Urban Dictionary, that is pretty sketchy, but I rely on it as an expatriate. I'm guessing the average age on UD is 19. I thought it just meant a Trump supporter who was well-informed.

I like ShoeOnHead even though we don't always agree—reference to a Dali painting and the movie Brazil that I recommend to everyone who hasn't seen it, if you can find it.

Even Wiktionary is compromised too.

Sadly some users, even prolific ones, force themselves out. Apparently /u/useless_aether did. I'm also trying to remember the other one who was 50/50 but slid.

Trolling on Amelia is not integral to anything.

Trolling on Amelia is not integral to anything

We must have different definitions of that word.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Shit disturbing.

What's your definition?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (10 children)

Trolls try to provoke a negative reaction for their own amusement. It's not just anything someone does you don't like, which is how it seems to be used these days.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (9 children)

Fair enough.

So trolls are shit disturbers for self-amusement. Masturbatrollers.

What do you call shit disturber stalkers?

What do you call shit disturbers infiltrators intend on destroying a forum?

What do you call shit disturbers infiltrators intend on destroying a forum, quickly, loudly, and obviously?

What do you call shit disturbers infiltrators intend on destroying a forum, slowly over the long haul? Shills? Not accurate if they're not paid.

I call all of them asstrolls.

I didn't call you a troll, but I said your actions were trolling - also means fishing for shit.

Edit: This might be a good post for /s/Terminology.

I think there's a disconnect between what I mean and how it's coming across to you. Banning people, from an administrative viewpoint is necessary. It is an important consideration to allow an admin the authority to ban people on their own recognizance. Why you think me talking about it is a jab at Amelia, besides maybe a little playfully is slightly confusing.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Okay. It's not clear that it was actually playful.

I don't know a lot of things. I do know TAM did the best possible under the circumstances during the Texas crisis and was heavily criticized. Further, you guys had some issue and TAM tried to make it right. I don't know if that effort was good enough, successful, or if you still held grudges. M7 may be as sensitive as TAM is but he doesn't share it.

Regardless, I don't make fun of folks, except when calling out their hypocrisy, prejudice, prudishness, narrow mindedness, and absurdities. More often I try to amuse myself and the readers.

Lastly, I aim to defend SaidIt and its integrity, even if I constructively criticize the few issues I have with how it's run on occasion. I have no reasons to attack M7 or TAM directly, even in jest, and I stay clear of criticizing their admin actions too as much as possible.

Oh... I was wondering who the fuck Tam was. Lol. Just clicked.

People will get over it but there's still some hurt feelings. C'est la vie.

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

I only learned of "TAM" today too. I call you Musky. Before here I lived in Muskoka in a large log home my grandparents built.

Until the scab is gone and hurt feelings remain I recommend restraint.
