Recommendation, my friends.
If you swim with the shark, expect to get bit. o.o
^(O.o) This is in regards to not just Spinshark but all manner and breed of trolls. Arguing and attempting to validate your point or story to a person like that will never gain you anything except a massive headache and maybe a crushed soda can or two.
Incidentally, I say soda. O.o Does anyone else say soda? or is it pop to all others on earth? o.o` Hrm.
Anyhow, back on topic.
(>o.0) After doing a cursory overview of Spinshark's posts, I quickly realized they weren't really worth the time devoted to reading them when there were so many other interesting, informative, and fun threads abounding on the forums. I can read about the latest Limbus information, NPC quest breakthroughs, new gear, and people's personal achievements and general /cheer! threads, all of which provide either thoughtful discussion, interesting opinions, amusing one-liners, or all three combined. ^^
In light of such fun and intelligent dialogue, why bother with neaderthalic dithering and flaming? ( o.o)> For the sake of your own I.Q., I recommend the following.
If you see a troll's post, forget about it. Arguing with a troll merits nothing. Were this real life, and you could sock a troll in the mouth for, say, demeaning/disrespecting a lady or being generally boorish and crass, THAT would perhaps deter further idiocy. As this is, however, an online forum, there is little that can be done to strike back; no matter how tempting it is to do so, it just helps 'em along.
Let's all admit it. See a troll, troll acts.... well, troll-ish, fantasize about taking troll down with wiffle bat, make angry, extremely-valid-and-intelligent-but-ultimately-pointless reply to troll, troll laughs and strokes his ego some more. Consider it a disease: e-masochism. Don't satisfy their cravings.
<(o.o)> Seriously. If a post is dumb, do the best thing that can be done; don't reply at all! I, too, must learn to do this. >.< But, in the end, it will save a lot of trouble! Rate it down, continue on speaking to the interesting and intelligent people in the thread. Forget about the people who just want to make you mad and go have fun instead. (>^^)> That's why you're all here, right? <(^^<)
I bid everyone a good day, and best of luck with the new update content! ^(O.O) WE MARCH ON LIMBUS TONIGHT, COMRADES!
EDIT: Limbus? Limbo? O.o I don't know about all of you, but these heavy cuirass I wear aren't all that flexible. >.< Someone help me through this one. We Paladins aren't that bendable. o.o;;
