LOL, you're looking a little thin there WRX, perhaps you should eat more.

[ironmaster15213]

I think this picture is doctored, the shadow on tigers right arm just doesn't look right!! P.S. I like your hat, has a kind of Wicca look.

I think you are wrong, the flesh tones look dead on. Cheers, Shark

Day before yesterday he was complaining that this was cuel humour http://forum.ottawagolf.com/showpost...3&postcount=18

Have you noticed that his last few threads are all just trying to stir the pot by bringing up old rumours?

Yawn, not too hard to spot that troll.

[John]

I was going to post the exact same thing Dan, you can always tell who's a troll.

Was Tiger having a bad day? It's like he hardly acknowledged your presence

Yep, just read all his previous posts. Big time trolling going on just to stir up the pot.

Yo Reid, whats your point? Someone has to keep us entertained and you busy!

[MrMulligan]

Isn't everything that is posted considered trolling? When you post an item you're looking to start conversation n'est-ce pas? I would say that all questions re: clubs to buy, courses to play, etc. are a form of trolling...

[Sakuraba]

I consider it trolling when you post a question where the intent is not to get an answer to that question, but to start an argument. I'm not saying that's what you're doing here, but that for me is the definition of an internet troll.

The tough thing is it is often impossible to determine the intent of the poster: the moderator will err on the side of caution.

[Kilroy]

Of course not all of this applies to all trolls, but these are the characteristics by which trolls are known.

An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. They try to start arguments and upset people. Sometimes they do so by directly antagonizing individuals or groups of people. They will often do so indirectly by reviving topics that are known to be controversial, posting flaimbait topics (religon politics, sexuality) and sometimes stating an outlandish opinion to spark a backlash.


Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. Indeed, the greater the fuss they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it).


The anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish. They are easily identified by the fact that they are constantly at odds with other members of the forum, and often take shots at individuals they have disagreed with in the past, trying to provoke a reaction.


Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash or ridicule.


When you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you insult a troll, he wins. When you scream at a troll, he wins. The only thing that trolls can't handle is being ignored.

Hence the tag

[MrMulligan]

Well said Dan - do you work for the government policies division

While I admit there are moments where I post semi-controversial items (i.e OttawaGolfNut with various famous people), I do this to ellicit enjoyment from the various parties viewing the items - not to make OGN leave the forum.

Open forums should allow a certain amount of trolling (as this one does) - we can sometimes be enlightened by the remarks generated and educated as to what people wish or wish not to discuss.

Our national media is a huge purveyor of trolling as exemplified by the political "bash" campaigns that use controversy to spark open valid debate. While we may not agree with what is said we can choose to either respond to trolling with thoughtful and smart answers or ignore what is being said (forgive me if I'm repeating what you have already stated).

I hope that trolling will continue to be a part of these forums - I seem to enjoy the wacky posts that are available here, even moreso during these looooong winter months.

[Kilroy]

I do not consider a few things here and there trolling at all. Nothing wrong with bringing up the odd "fully covered course" or heated debate, or to poke a bit of fun, but when it's always certain individuals looking for attention...

Speaking of which, where's our good friend bucky these days? His ban should be over by now no?

[covanant]

Was he in trouble?
While were at it,wheres broken?

I think Bucky might be a bit PO'd at some people. He was in yesterday, made a couple of posts.... one of them supporting OGN (which has disappeared) and then left. Haven't seem him in here today.

[1972Apex]

Actually that's good. Just was curious.

[Kilroy]

From this point forward bannings will be treated as confidential. I think it is a violation of someone's privacy and I regret having discussed past bannings on the forum. So no more. People come and go

[1972Apex]

Didn't mean to touch a sore spot. I thought it was pretty common knowledge...

[Kilroy]

Not a sore spot Reid. That was meant to respond to those who asked about where certain uses are. I did not want to seem evasive, so I wanted to clarify that I can't reply to those questions any more. That's all.

True, but this was pretty funny.

[TA 845]

My bad for the posting of the banning, I promise I won't do it again

Bucky will be quiet as he should be back to school...

[1972Apex]

Good thing not to talk about it. Although we usually notice when someone disappears for a while LOL!

[Kilroy]

Talk about it is fine. I just won't be confirming speculation.

[1972Apex]

Okay. Now I get it!

[snaphooker]

I am a frequent reader, but do not post too often. Lately, it seems to me that the tone of this site has been changing. I quite enjoy the topics and it keeps my interest in the game up during the winter. I find it sad that many people are going out of their way to attack and make fun of others. The line that has always been here seems to have gone or atleast moved. There is a line between humour and being mean, and I think that posters should be more aware of this. I know other sites are worse, but that does not make it OK or justify.

[Big Johnny69]

Well regardless of whether a line was crossed or not, before all the good natured ribbing took place OGN was given every chance to explain the circumstances of the photo. At first he just didn't respond and then he came out and said he'd to refuse to answer any questions because everyone was making fun of him. Now I don't know about you but I would not be able to shut up about my experience of meeting Tiger Woods, let alone any big name Tour player.

[NoBack]

1000% agree with Geoff.
