In my opinion - Sizuanne Trolls

You see my point. If we are going to ask people to start posts with "In my opinion..." (the most redundant three words in the entire history of words), we might as well as well kill ourselves with spoons.

I think that I think, therefore, I think that I am thinking, in my opinion.

Wow, you really have no concept of what you intend when you post this stuff, do you?

Adamforall's comment in the original thread is in no way equivalent to 'your mom is a fat whore' (I'm presuming yours isn't, otherwise this would invalidate my point). Whereas your post about the guy in the KKK meeting is equivalent to saying anyone that speaks out against god should get their asses kicked. Can't you see that?

I see, sir, that you are a literalist. Concrete thinking.

(Notice that while I have a right to call you an idiot, I did not.)

And calling my religion rubbish IS like calling my mom a fat whore.

Get my point now?

Yeah. One minute you're missing me, the next you are stealing my point.

I merely wish to walk in your footsteps, oh great one.

The assertion of the existence of such a place should always follow, or be preceeded by "in my opinion" so we can dismiss it as dogma.

It's fact in my mind. The book is a tool to keep masses in-line.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is insulting ME!

I'll cyber-smash them if they think different than me, cuz I AM RIGHT.

P-

That's a philosophy, not a religion. There's a vast difference.

In fact, these are very different. One attacks an ideology, the other the reprehensible behavior of a person.

Consider these two sentences:

Your religion is rubbish.

In my opinion, Christianity is complete fantasy, controlled by deranged and powerful men to prey on weak-willed and frightened people.

Which of these upsets you more?

And what I'm saying now is that he cannot just put a statement like that out there without *expecting* some kind of retort. And posting something expecting a retort is trolling, as I said.

I would say it's trolling if getting a retort is the purpose of the post. In a forum like this, I would expect retorts whenever someone utters a clear opinion, but that doesn't mean everybody who utters a clear opinion is a troll, in my opinion.

Your ideology is a fat whore.

Hey, I miss you too. I hope fatherhood hasn't stopped you risking the reverse-sweep from time to time.

Does this make the bible a pimp?

In my opinion, that would be rather difficult to achieve.

Next time try harder.

Did I tell you I hit 842 runs last season, including 3 tons?

Out of interest, do you believe that atheists are bound for hell?

IF so, do you think it matters to an atheist whether that is your opinion, when you express it, or a matter of fact as you believe it to be?

My personal belief? Is that what you're asking?

Just want to be clear before I post what I believe and then have someone climb all over me for *that* too.
