Cut off the Trolls

[sumdumguy]

I think the trolls morph into other trolls. They don’t add any value to a farming forum except to attack and continually aggravate. I vote to turf em. They add no value to my days.

Just block them and never feed the trolls.

I blocked austrand long ago, chuck chuck is getting close to getting blocked, I dont mind grassfarmer at least he contributes some relative material, and enjoy his arguments with sf3.

I wish this site would not let me see replies made to blocked users or accidentally landing on their threads when i hit NEXT thread without knowing what thread is next.

I agree with you a 100%
I dont waste time on abusive dipsticks like that thing in its mommies basement , havent missed it for a minute
Grass is a hardworkin farmer just like the rest of us , he just likes to stir up shit in a good way and to make you think , i think lol?

Point out someone that hasnt made political comments,should we all just bow to those who seem to think they are the chosen ones,sounds like an old boys club if you get what you are asking for.
Do as I say not as I do.

It’s all opinions. I don’t know why someone would block anyone at all. Just don’t read the post if it annoys you.
Sensorship really would be not good. If everyone that only had the same view was allowed to post what would be rhe point of a discussion forum? May as well call it the dictation forum instead. Get you dose of one sided brainwashing.
Can’t think of one poster that hasn’t at least at times posted some good points.

As LBJ said. " Better to have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in".

Welcome to the real world where shockingly, people are entitled to have their own opinions on a public discussion forum and can choose what they want to discuss.

Put five farmers in a room and you will get seven opinions.

If you want only to listen to like minded people crawl back into your cave and start your own private chat group.

Even if you don't agree with someone points of view it is interesting to see the the thinking or lack of thinking that goes in to different perspectives. If you are never challenged to defend your opinions, you don't exercise the grey matter.

It seems as if a lot of people on this site are incapable of debate and just want to have their own views reinforced.
I guess its easier to just shut off other ideas than it is to to defend arguments with evidence.

I disagree. Anyone who wants to engage in factual discussions should be welcomed even if its a differing view point. Thats all good. The guys on AV arent even close to being trolls even if they have unconventional theories. Spend a day on another forum like twitter or cbc and you will see some whack troll stuff from some very fringe groups. I cant see anyone who has a connection to farming having much in common with those nut jobs.

Soon chuck will have to see the genius of trump and come over to our side.

Right on Jazz. I like Agriville because you can find evidence to backup your arguments and include articles, references, graphs, images, links, etc. The local coffee shop is good if you just want to talk about the weather, neighbors and express a few mild opinions. But Agriville has far more in depth discussions where you can come and go and not forget what you or the other guy said! Plus most of us are too busy to make it to coffee row.

One erson's troll is another's soothsayer.

Remember BTOfarmall and how many times he was banned and would just come back with a slightly different username probably associated with a new email address...it was a game to him.

Ban or censor someone but nothing stopping them from doing what BTO did.

Take what you like and leave the rest.

Breadwinner, has started this type of tread several times accusing posters of being trolls and labeled me as being one as well. So nothing new from him!

Everybody is entitled to post their own opinion and it's up to the Administers of Agriville to monitor the site.

If coming on Agriville upsets you because of differentiating opinions you most live in a bubble or lived a very sheltered protected life.

One solution, don't read Agriville!
