The way I see it, people you - Happydolphin - are a far larger problem to this site than the vast majority of trolls. You see problems where there are none, and then insult people based on them. You repeatedly insult people based on next to nothing, like you do with Spurge in this thread. Telling someone that they're "shitting up this site" is a pretty serious accusation.

There aren't many trolls on this site. There are people with vastly differing views from you, including views I cannot see the logic in. When you call them trolls, you're assuming that they're choosing that stance simply to annoy you (and other people). That's a rather self-obsessed view.

When you then reply to these people in your normal, insulting way, they'll respond accordingly. To you, this is proof that they were trolling all along, but it's (usually) just a natural response to your rudeness.

If you assume the best in people, any respond factually, attempt to disprove their stance objectively, rather than insulting them, it usually works out very well. Treat the "trolls" with kindness and respect, and suddenly it's aparent that they were never actually trolling.

 

Or let's put it like this. The point of a forum is to exchange views on subjets, and after exchanging them, trying to improve them. When you dismiss people with odd views as trolls, you'll never be able to learn them anything, or learn from them. You've condemned yourself to never actually having an interesting discussion.
