Perhaps you should ask yourself, which one would you rather be?  The bird. I see... So the bird is now a metaphor for poor Myrkul? What was that link you posted earlier, accusing others of changing the goalposts?  You asked a question, I answered it. Do you have a problem? Then let me rephrase:
Is it still murder if you kill a murderer?
Depends upon the conditions, of course, since the very word "murder" implys an unjust killing. Indeed. I would consider counter-trolling to be fighting fire with fire. Killing the murderer, while he is in the act of attempting murder. NAP as applied to forum behavior. If you initiate trolling, you should not be surprised, nor complain, if you get trolled back. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I'm sorry. I could have sworn that just ignoring the troll's thread was also a viable option. By entering the thread to counter troll, you would appear to be purposefully escalating the situation. As I understand it, purposeful escalation runs contrary to the NAP. Alternatively, you could abandon your shitty principles and live a free life unencumbered by dogma. |

I do see your point here, and I actually do agree. However, I must point out that our resident Krugman fan is correct; it's still better to not feed the troll, even if you have the right to respond in kind. Trolls are often only after the joy of causing an emotional response, and ignoring them simply removes the reward for this activity. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Indeed, simply ignoring them is the moral "high road," and will, in the long term, cause them to stop, or at least greatly reduce, this sort of behavior. But counter-trolling works just as well, if not better, and is a lot more fun. Tit-for-tat, after all, calls for response-in-kind. |

I think I'm going to try out MoonShadow's "just ignore the asshat" tactic... Which should be easy, since I have wawahwah on ignore.
