Online trolling is the practice of behaving in a deceptive, destructive, or disruptive manner in a social setting on the Internet with no apparent instrumental purpose. From a lay-perspective, Internet trolls share many characteristics of the classic Joker vil- lain: a modern variant of the Trickster archetype from ancient folk- lore. Much like the Joker, trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting ‘‘hot-button issues’’ to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortu- nate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, mer- ciless amusement. This is why novice Internet users are routinely admonished, ‘‘Do not feed the trolls!’’.
Am I in the wrong for pointing out Zyklons behavior here? In turn Crensch has become a troll in his actions, seriously guys how do we turn this mess around for the sake of Voat?
You are. And it's funny how all of you are all of a sudden holding out an olive branch despite 7 months of constantly bringing the situation up, only you were attacking the pedophile's victim, and attacking me for defending her.
You, personally, mostly stayed out of it until recently when you decided to have a problem with me calling out your sick fuck buddies.
Hate me all you like if that makes you feel better. I have been watching and lurking and both sides have relevant points.
I just want this to end somehow... not sure how or what to do about it. Surely this is not good for Voat, right?
I don’t trust many people here but the ones I do are purely responding to your outbursts in the only way they know, even on your side of the fence.
Does this make it all right? Oh heck no, definitely not all of the time. I just don’t understand your posts in how you have to constantly beat a dead horse over and over again. Is this pride I sense ?
I think the best option is for people to just block those who are spewing this constant drama. If one is certain of oneself what another one says becomes totally irrelevant.
If you come back to me excluding an ad hominem reply I will truly be surprised as this seems hard for you to do lately.
There was no ad hominem attack against you in the previous comment.
I called you a sick fuck for defending your buddy in a comment before that. If you want to get technical, yes that is ad hominem but it is not a fallacy because I did not base any argumentation off of that.
Given what happened, only one side has relevant points.
Did you see my latest submission?
Maybe you should ask yourself where it goes from there. Maybe you should ask yourself how you come back from that as a forum.
Who is going to feel safe here? Who has felt safe here for the last seven months? Only your sick fuck buddies.
And only now, now that they're not having any more fun, because I am constantly calling them out, are you wanting to talk about how to move forward.

Are you saying all is lost?
Who is going to feel safe here? Who has felt safe here for the last seven months?
I don’t think anyone has ever truly felt safe here.
Only your sick fuck buddies.
What does this even mean an no I don’t tjink so why would you even say that? Who are you specifically referring to here?

I don’t think your calling out anything will change peoples perspective on how to deal with life. Voat is mostly separate to peoples IRL day-to-days. A lot of folks that I have known merely came here to break away from normality and they role play I guess as a form of escape.

Some did, and now they no longer post here. And no new posters aren't going to be interested in having fun and not being so on guard with any information they might share because they might get doxxed.

Every shitposting buddy you have that cannot respond to this submission. Every single one. Not one of you publicly called out anyone doxxing me.

Everyone that comes here comes here as an escape. You and your ilk stole that from many people now.
Constant doxxing, harassment, threats...
And your targets feel alone and attacked from every side because every last one of you seems to be fine with that kind of behavior. Most partaking.

I am not and your name calling means nothing just shows your ignorance on the matter.
