| Dec 27, 2017 at 5:14 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | As I have said, you should read the question wherein Shog9 tells us we've been trolled. If the person with the most experience on this network says it was a troll, and outlines why, it's not just my discomfort that makes it trollish. I'm done here. You obviously don't understand what I'm saying, and I disagree with you. | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 0:20 | comment | added | Pete | In the general case, a large part of your question defines trolling using criteria I disagree with as outlined in my answer. You seem to complain that others don't see the content as obvious trolling as you yourself do. Again, my answer attempts to explain possible why. | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 0:17 | comment | added | Pete | "There has already been a post on this issue wherein the user was identified as a troll" Which may or may not have been the correct conclusion. Look at Em C's answer above for example. For the specific example you gave, I've managed to reconstitute the 'offending' sentence from other meta-posts. However, I'm unable to read the full question (gaining valuable context) or view the poster's profile for potential other activity as the question is not just closed, it's been completely deleted. | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 0:06 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | There has already been a post on this issue wherein the user was identified as a troll. I never said, ""They're a troll because I say they are, how do we deal with them" | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 0:02 | comment | added | Pete | "They're a troll because I say they are, how do we deal with them". My point is that you're making assumptions about whom is trolling. Criteria that are subject to disagreement. That needs to be clarified before deciding on appropriate strategies for dealing with actual trolls. Something which you don't seem to understand properly. | |
| Dec 26, 2017 at 23:49 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | The premise to your answer, that "that anybody who posts a question about sex without self-censoring (to some unpublished standard) using somewhat absurd enthusiasms and bowlderisms is automatically a troll" is incorrect. The person with the most experience on the entire network agreed with me that the person is/was a troll. This is a question on how we deal with trolls, not what my criteria are, which you do not seem to understand properly. | |
