Author Topic: Well done to IMAX Digital (clapping my hands) James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-28-2011 11:51 AM                     I understand that there is an ART to trolling... http://artoftrolling.memebase.com/  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-28-2011 12:38 PM                        The odd thing about trolls is, they don't seem to realize they are trolls even when they're called on it.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 12-28-2011 02:05 PM                       If they are really trolls they get off on being called on it as they know they are drawing blood and this the only attention they ever get. And they get better at it over time. That's why we should not feed them and instead shun them. They are kind of like those campground bears. See, I've already wasted time commenting on this troll.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-28-2011 02:17 PM                        Yeah, we shouldn't respond to them directly. The trolls on that Art of Trolling site linked above are actually pretty good. They're funny and not doing it to be asses (well, mostly). Instead, it's more of a sarcastic sense of humor/playing dumb. That's trolling done proper. Forum trolls are a completely different animal, unfortunately. Like Mark G, bitching about this site elsewhere like no tomorrow yet he couldn't stay away if his life depended on it.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 12-28-2011 06:21 PM                       I would not call Mark G a troll; he's one of us for sure and he works in the business at the state of the art. He's just a man of changing opinions, and he honestly believes each and every opinion at the time. I guess there is a name for this condition, but troll does not cover it.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-28-2011 06:43 PM                     Politician? Except he isn't running for anything. Clearly SOME of what he says is purely to incite some into anger (the comments don't add to the discussion, they just make some mad)...that is a malicious act of a troll. There is also the constant product placement he uses that is troll like. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-28-2011 07:02 PM                        Like his KLH comment which I think was in this thread obviously directed at me and having absolutely nothing to do with IMAX digital or movie theaters in any way.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 12-28-2011 08:35 PM                       I think a real troll is more like a poser. Mark G. generally knows what he's doing or saying. As to the product placements or plugs; unless someone is paying him to say these things, it's pretty harmless. We all say things to provoke or bait a response. That alone does not make us trolls.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-28-2011 10:10 PM                     Product placement and plugs are trolling when claiming things every competitive product does. For example if the discussion was talking about ingesting times and then Mark comes up and comments: "The server-brand-I-am-selling-this-month can ingest while it is playing a movie." Oh yeah? Big flippin' do because they ALL can! As such, that sort of comment is giving misleading information, as the readers would in such an example then think that if they want to ingest during playback that they need to seek out the server-brand-Mark-is-selling-this-month. It isn't as if what he said was incorrect, it just isn't complete and somebody like Mark knows better.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-29-2011 06:32 AM                     Yeah...the brand I normally sell this month has had playing content off the CRU for years while the brand he is selling this month treats it as a newish feature!  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 12-29-2011 07:21 AM                     Tom I am personally very happy that your happy that you enjoy Imax Digital!
