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?
It might not be your intention, Nadesh, but yes, IMO your responding to documentation of Zyklon's fuckery with a definition of trolling as if it is some innocent "archetypal" fun is actually wrong, as is your characterization of @Crensch's continued exposure of it as equivalent "trolling".
I agree with @Sandhog: Zyklon went far beyond trolling.
Trolling implies mere hi-jinx, a detachment from direct gain (other than simple amusement) from the destruction of the target. It minimizes the evident facts of what Zyklon and behind the scenes, Kev, did. In essence, it says "Crensch is the bad guy here because he's making a mountain out of molehill."
Justice is rendering to each his due. Zyklon, Kev and all who helped them need to have their behavior fully exposed and condemned. Those who participated who have not shut down their accounts need to take responsibility for doing so and apologize. Those who exposed it, need to be recognized as having been correct instead of being scapegoated as the problem.
FINE. Pedophilia is a serious crime. This shit show is wayyy out of Hand. Since crensch wont report THESE LITERAL PEDOPHILES HE HAS PERSONAL knowledge of to the police should we call the police and report crensch? NO becase its all just words on on a page and crensch is full of shit.
The tittie pics that destroyed a Free Speech Platform. Fuck THIS im gonna go get a drink. ALLL yalll disgust me.
Sorry, Clam decided to try and force me to prove zyklon had sex with children - suggesting that he didn't realize the word "pedophile" is simply the attraction to minors, instead of actually having done something.
DGB is taking that torch and running with it, since clam put a lot of effort into pushing that narrative, and DGB thought it stuck decently.
DGB is saying if I know zyklon had sex with children, why do I not go to the police?
Ah, I gotcha. DGB being? Sorry, I am drawing a blank with the initials. There is so much confusion and emotion that it is impossible to see clearly unless we set that emotion aside and deal with the facts in a logical manner. People are just reacting instinctively right now and have been for a while. I do think that we all want to arrive at the truth. We can get there if we combine our knowledge. I am certain of it.
Finally, you're about to do something right for a change. Or something really stupid like just pretending to leave without actually leaving, thus being shown to be such a weak woman that you won't follow through with your decisions because a man is mean to you.
It ties into ES and possibly WoS although I suspect he was a victim of the gaslighting just as much as everyone else. Definitely ES though and probably other people.

I’ll leave this here:

Still defending pedophiles.
Sick fuck.

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

If you want peace, work for justice.

What are you referring to here? Please explain.
Crensch ago
These idiots seem to think that for someone to be a pedophile, they have to actually have sex with children.
They don't realize that words have meaning, like the word "pederast".
SandHog ago
I seem to be missing something here. What do you mean?

DanglingGoatBalls.
As for the rest of it, @Nadesh arrived at the truth.
Crensch ago
Oh, look at that! I complimented @Nadesh!

SandHog ago
No no no. We've all been fucking had.
Crensch ago
Oh?
Sounds suspiciously like the stuff I hear from the Poal people.

Vindicator ago
I agree. Evidence suggests DGB is ES's new sockpuppet, too, by the way.
Crensch ago
Gonna need some heavy info regarding that.
Everyone else? Me?
Kek.
Need even more info there.
SandHog ago
sent info
