delusions of grandeur Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Axe Clown sure has a way of corralling in all the trolls. I really dowonder if they all have a hangout forum where they chat about the good trollings they got in that day. You nailed it. I am not sure what is funnier - Baby Jane's Schtick or the fact that most of these people think they are somehow above other people because they are 'veterans" of a fantasy football website??? It's a chivesing fantasy football chat room. It is like a grade school clique and that is far more annoying than anything Axe has said. 8 teams make the playoffs in this league so the schedule means very little. You guys were all talking about how Axe would try and make excuses - the only people making excuses are the "veterans" First off, the clique that once was here is all but gone. The issue here is that the guy is an obnoxious troll, and is making up advantages as he goes. The latter doesn't have anything to do with any clique, him being a troll, or even people being scared of the disadvantage. You've been here long enough to know that corrupt commishing does not go over well here. I can't believe that our objection even has to be explained that you can't just allow a commish to make up and manipulate the schedule to his advantage, no matter how many other disadvantages he's agreed to. That's just sheisty chit and FF 101, and I have no idea why you feel the need to condone it, other than some butthurt animosity you've been holding back. It's the principle of the thing. None of us could care in the slightest whether this does in fact give him an advantage in the sham of a league he came up with. It's also par for the course for a guy who's been nothing but an obnoxious ass taking over the forum and pushing buttons in his short time here. The plus side is that he basically went from a can't lose league (where he either wins or has plenty of excuses) to essentially a no-win situation, since he's revealed himself as nothing more than a joke.

Seahawks21 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 dammit i can't find it but I saw a study last year that a psychologist did about people that troll message boards. Without friends or companionship these people build these personas to the point that they start to believe them. And the personas are all the same. It acts as a shield. They use other people's frustration with them to make them feel stronger, and manipulate every situation so that they can't be hurt emotionally on a message board, as a way to cope with their pain from their lack of self confidence. These worlds were actually pretty fascinating. Proving them wrong won't get rid of them because they don't care. This place has become Baby Jane's life. And he will be here as long as there are still people here he can torment. The doctor said the best thing we can do to help is ignore him and hopefully he turns to more conventional social behavior eventually. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor said the best thing we can do to help is ignore him and hopefully he turns to more conventional social behavior eventually. Not sure if this is what you were thinking of, but I did a little searching out of curiousity. http://newsfeed.time...-say-its-wrong/ A little snippet from the article: “Trolling can (1) be frustrated if users correctly interpret an intent to troll, but are not provoked into responding, (2) be thwarted if users correctly interpret an intent to troll, but counter in such a way as to curtail or neutralise the success of the troller, (3) fail if users do not correctly interpret an intent to troll and are not provoked by the troller, or, (4) succeed if users are deceived into believing the troller’s pseudo-intention(s), and are provoked into responding sincerely. Finally, users can mock troll. That is, they may undertake what appears to be trolling with the aim of enhancing or increasing effect, or group cohesion.” And here's another link that references the study you were thinking of, along with a couple others. http://www.osnews.com/story/25540 Edited July 17, 2013 by SeductiveNun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Whether you are thrilled to be in the presence of a fantasy football master, or simply feel resentful of my expertise, the bottom line is that everyone here is becoming a better fantasy football player through the tutelage of Baby Jane. Trolls intend to instigate chaos or argument. I never argue; I only educate. Naturally, if there is to be any value to my education, it must at times be in conflict with the accepted consensus--but I am only in opposition to the consensus when they are wrong, not simply to be in opposition. Those with discernment can easily tell the difference--and those are the ones bringing home the trophies at the end of the season. As the nursery rhyme goes... "Listen to the Elf, Trophy on the shelf. Listen to the others, Go crying to your mothers." Edited July 17, 2013 by Axe Elf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
