The Trouble With Trolls



----Definition----

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Trolls delight in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

A classic troll tries to make us believe that he is a skeptic. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. A troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them.

While he tries to present himself as a skeptic looking for truth ... his messages usually sound as if it is the responsibility of other forum members to provide evidence that what forum is all about is legitimate.

He (and in at least 90% of cases it is he) tries to start arguments and upset people."

You're right...we've been complacent.
We have become so dependant on Over9five and Tieguy to root out the trolls that we have become derelict in our responsibilities.
I am shamed -
This is obviously a troll, troll, troll.

You may even be called a troll, if you post something that "certain" people disagree with. Not to worry, though, we're all one big happy family here.

Hey WDF, you can search the threads and find posts by BBAB, to see what we mean. A troll is what we thought you were, when you started posting your sales lead stuff.

ROTF
Is a troll good or bad?

I really do care about those sales leads. My own district is the "Least Best" in my region. I hate that title! but have so little control over it as an admin, from BD at that.

I was shocked to read that so many drivers hated the program, that in my opinion, was built as way of rewarding them for finding new business that they see out there everyday.

So, am I a troll?

[stevetheupsguy]

I'm thinking..........................TROLL!!!

This was seen by 37% of people tested.

And the final 37% saw two ghosts doing something nasty to a troll.

Sorry Pobre Carlos but I have to agree with iowa boy, you are a troll. Anybody who posts on a website, that has as it's primary members those who are Teamsters (or those who depend on the Teamsters labor), essentially anti-union propaganda (I know, I know you are not anti-union and what you say is not propaganda) is begging for a fight.

It's akin to a Chevy guy posting on a Ford forum that Ford stands for "Found On Road Dead". Or calling Mustangs "Disgustangs" or "Rustangs".

And even if there is occasionally a shred of truth in your ramblings you are not going to get through by beating people over the head with your opinions (again, I know, you call them facts) or insulting them.

That being said, and though I have found you to be the most exasperating poster I have ever encountered at the Brown Cafe, you do serve a useful purpose. You allow those of us who fundamentally disagree with you a sounding board to bounce our ideas off of. Though, and not to be insulting, you have not won me over in the slightest, I have read some very interesting posts by other posters that have further reassured my own beliefs.

And for that I thank you.

So you see, no matter what your goal is here on these fine forums, if it might have been (which I highly doubt) to further unite my fellow union brothers and sisters, you are indeed accomplishing your goal.

I await an interesting, and snide, remark .

Not delivering a pkg defeats our (UPS) purpose in being in business.

Would appreciate any insight
Thanks

I may be wrong, but this is troll talk to me.
Bogus from the start.

Of course, Fred Smith has a different opinion than you. Did you read his discussion yesterday? He is afraid that if FedEx has the same rules as UPS, there will be service disruptions.

Why would happy, well paid employees sign up to be part of the big, bad union and then vote to strike? Maybe in addition to telling people here how happy you all are, you should tell Fred that he has nothing to worry about with the new legislation.

P-Man

Funny how the troll completely ignores your posts. You would be better off spending that 1minute of your time doing something worthwhile, of course who am I to tell you how to spend your valuable time.

IMO, he's a troll. Not smart or eloquent enough to be management and too many factual errors regarding FedEx to be credible.

Seriously, I think we should moderate them the same way their mods moderate anyone who doesn't agree with their propaganda.

Remember when that first troll signed on and I warned him/her? That was the original contention.

You are sounding more and more like a troll with every post, but I'll bite on this one. Management is required to be "neutral" and cannot actively advocate either for or against unionization.That's why the verbage of the anti-union meetings is so carefully crafted...by FedEx Legal. By calling them "information sessions" and controlling the content so the senior manager cannot deviate from the script, he/she cannot wander off into the land of the illegal.

IMO, they're not legal, and according to both the RLA and the NLRA they're not legal either. FedEx isn't supposed to be actively anti-union, but they have been for 36 years and counting. You're kind of slow, but have you ever wondered why Fred always has this exact same comment when asked about unionization of FedEx Express. "FedEx is not against unions in any way". That covers him legally. The reality is something else that you choose to ignore.

[tieguy]

first poster has two post to his credit with the same question. Second poster has one.

I think we have our first double troll alert.

BS

I don't know, fedex4 Life, assuming that you are who you are(as many posters who work for fedex have pointed out, it seems like you are not hip to current trends at fedex and thus possibly a troll of some sorts).

But let's say you are legit. Your behavior is very similar to the original poster's situation. Let's look at your circumstances. Someone has not only tried to break into your house. He has broken into your house and has stolen your money and is laughing at you . His name is Fred Smith. Instead of going to the courts , you prefer to become his number one fan on browncafe. Go make another thread about how great Fedex(the company that has you by the balls) is.

I hope he is a troll, I would like to see a valid double troll alert.
