The problem is we have seen plenty of what you write and argue. From that we form opinions and it appears plenty of your work is just the opposite to your postulations.
If that is how it appears then that's 100% faulty perception.
Some say you spout a lot of rubbish, sometimes you come up with useful informative posts and the two seem to go in cycles, in other words periods of rubbish and periods of reasonable posts.
I would argue against that, but it doesn't matter. Even if someone thinks what I have written is biggest load of tosh they have ever seen why do they assume that I didn't really mean it, and that for my own amusement I wrote it in a cynical attempt to cause disruption, to provoke emotional responses?
These are multiple members opinions and yes we talk about you behind your back in the privacy of direct or private messages,
I can't decide if I should be flattered by that, or if it's one of the most pathetic things I have ever heard.
And do you discuss and analyse my posts, or do you discuss ways in which you might make constant complaints to the mods to get me shut down?
these opinions sticks and it takes effort for so many members to change their minds.
Effort which they are not prepared to make.
Oh - hang on - how much effort does it actually take for people to simply stop assuming that I don't really mean what I write, and that for my own amusement I write it in cynical attempts to cause disruption, to provoke emotional responses, whenever they don't like what I've written?
At the moment it only seems to be you having these relationship problems with other members,
I'm not aware of others constantly making such allegations about you that you find the need to defend yourself, why is it you find the need to regularly recycle this defensive question?
My history of being accused of trolling is mostly in GD, and I can assure you it was real, it was extensive, and that I was not the only poster there who was subjected to constant attack by a favoured clique who simply did not want to see the posting of political or social opinions at odds with theirs. Accept that people have different opinions? No, they didn't want to do that. Discuss the issues intelligently? No, they didn't want to do that. Provide evidence to show the truth of their claims about something? No, they didn't want to do that. Turn GD into an echo-chamber where everyone just nods in agreement with illiberal/bigoted/hateful/ignorant opinions? Oh yes, they very much wanted that.
And I don't want to see those same tactics imported to Electrics.
The line from Hamlet yet again springs to mind: "The lady doth protest too much methinks."
You may be certain that if I am falsely accused of trolling, or wind-ups, I will protest that.
We all have differences of opinions but fortunately we have come to accept those
Deciding that someone who expresses a different opinion is trolling, or winding people up, is the very opposite of acceptance.
