How NOT to be a Troll

1. Lighten up.
2. Get a sense of humor.
3. Push that rock, push that rock and come out into the LIGHT!
4. Don't be so sensitive.
5. Recognize the fact of life, that YOU are not the final authority on human behavior.
6. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
7.... Well you get the gist, because I am assuming (YES ASSUMING) that you are intelligent enough to read simple words.
As Jesus said, like the poor, we will always have you with us. But geez louise, your lives must be barren of smiles and the plain pure joy of living in the moment
with likeminded folks.
But the lot community as a whole is getting smarter. We have better trolling equipment now, for one thing! lol
So take care, but beware that we are watching you as closely as you are watching us.
So just lighten up, get a sense of humor and MOVE THAT ROCK and come into the light!
So to make this a discussion ..... thanks for listening and letting me get this off my chest and relieving my boredom.....
What do you do when you're bored? Go hunting for...............?

I was practicing some 'tough love' by not offering to help them move their rocks! LOL
And I've a few 'doozies' in my past too. We should write about them...........LOL

What is 'bored'?
There's no time to be bored but no need to hunt either.
They are out there and it seems like the times are a changin' and they now have progressed and recycle. Green trolls!

In reality I never get bored. And I don't believe in hunting live game for the sport of it, so I let the trolls hunt me and play with them when they find me.
LOL I like the idea of recycling them!

Where can I get some of your gear? I'm a clueless hunter! LOL
And doubt any will emerge into the light.........they'd have to act like real people and there'd be no fun in that for them.*sigh*

I think you're talking to a brick wall Sparks so why do you waste your time or breath trying? I know, I know.... in hopes to bring them out and bring some happiness to their lives instead of them acting like jerks that they are. I doubt it'll do any darned good but hey, it is worth trying, huh?
BTW, I've missed you too!!

Ha!!! You put this under "anti-depressants"??!!!! Too funny, Sparks!
Man oh man, I've really missed some stuff! Every time I pop in lately, I see all this stuff about trolls and I've read a bit of what's been out there and it appears we have some nasty lil critters slithering around yet again. Geesh!!! Where does that viciousness stem from, Sparky??? How can they get such absolute delight out of being creepy and mean to others? I just don't get it. But they'll never win. They never do. The rest of us keep on keepin on and that's a win in my book. So, here's to the rest of us. All for one and one for all. Never to be put asunder. CHHHHHAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGE!!!!

You're right, this discussion definitely fits into this category perfectly! I guess that's what's so funny about it.
I'm so happy you're here more now, honey. Your discussions tend to lure me out of my little cave more than anyone else's, except maybe for mykl, but still, it's usually yours that make it impossible not to respond. I miss our convos too. You know, just the other day, I was thinking about some of your old discussions, particularly the one about the shape of one's brain, and I was thinking about how fun that was and how you ALWAYS pose questions that make it impossible for me to resist it rolling about in my brain, always making me think, and being glad that I did, as I'm typing my response, as I'm commenting on a comment you made on my response, comments made by other people, all the repartee, the hilarity, but also, the depth of thought that you provoked within myself. I really miss all of that. Clearly, I must, having just been thinking about the whole thing. And that's been a long time, remember? Well, I'm stating here and now, I want it back! (stomps foot for emphasis) How about you?
Yeah, like I don't know the answer to that..........

Oh too funny you should mention that discussion! I was thinking about it the other day too..............my brain's elliptical, and yours was........? lol
I was thinking I'd like to post more of those, but frankly, I've found that they are not popular anymore, so I stick to the humor. (the friends circle has changed dramatically......)
HOWEVER! Now that you are back I will do my best to blend the two and maybe together we'll raise the 'tone' of this place...........and I might even get my blue back! (ok, that might be hoping for a bit too much, but I live in hope don't ya know! lol)

Oh darling it is sooooooooo good to have you here.
Honestly, YOU are the only one who gets the nuances of my posts! LOL
I rather thought the tone of this discussion fit right into the category it's in. In fact the category just jumped at me when I was cruising this morning and the discussion popped into my head fully formed! LOL
Saturday morning................what can I say?ol[/em]
As for the trolls.......I mostly ignore them unless they bother me. It's not hard really unless one is stalking you, in which case I make them my friend! LOL Have you seen my friends list lately? It's a shocker! ROFL
These trolls need to do exactly what I said in my discussion. THAT'S the key to having a happy life as we both know.
BIG hugs sweets, and stick around awhile. I miss our convos!

..... totally rocking optically logical lunar spectacles
1. check. I lost 2 pounds.
2. check. The shrink says it's a defensive measure. Maybe that's why I didn't clock the creep when she said my life was "a bit stressful". *eyeroll* No kidding.
3. um... light scares me but I'll work on it just for you.
4. The shrink says I'm not in touch with my own feelings and tend to ignore them so I think I have this covered too.
5. Yes I am... ask my kids.
6. I try but every now and then people remind me why I'm glad I'm from outer-space. And the shrink has nothing to add to that though the voices find it all kinds of funny.
7. Yes I got it but felt the need to type a descriptive answer anyway because I was bored and lunar activities are a few hours away.

That's okay. I have the same problem. Mylot does not send me repeat posts from a person many times. I have to go back and check them to see if someone posted again. I wish I would get them because many times I don't check...I forget.
You take care and get some rest.

How do you find time to be bored? I always have so much to do that I am stealing time from one thing to give to another. I do know what the problem is with trolls, we have all been looking under rocks when every sensible troll hunter in history knows they live under bridges. So hunt for the rivers and you'll find the critters.
Best of luck

So many people don't understand the concept of NOT being bored, you know. I'm just trying to appeal to the masses. LOL
And I thought of the bridges, after I posted, but again, so many people here keep referring to the rocks they hide under, so .............
LOL
Only on mylot can I write nonsense and get away with it! ROFL

This is the first discussion I have responded to in days, I've been staying away from all the mylot drama because it's gotten too stupid and BORING! YOUR discussion is worth my time, and my response. Stellar advice you gave, if only people would take it - and not just the "trolls" either, a lot of "regular" users get their panties in a bunch over ridiculous things and as one "troll" pointed out, THEY (the "regular" bunched up panty members of mylot) are responsible for MUCH of the ills of this place, the bunched up panty people are the ones rating negative and harassing other members and making false accusations simply because they don't like an opinion. The bunched up panty brigade are the ones getting good innocent members of mylot banned and non violating discussions deleted as much if not more than the "trolls". SO who are the real trolls, some wiseass noob accounts, or the easily offended members of mylot who cause just as much damage and would be better served if they simply stayed away from the people they hate?
What do I do when bored? Used to be mylot, but it's gotten retarded here, so I've been playing a silly RPG online that I've gotten hooked on.
I'm not leaving mylot, just spending less time here until it calms down some.

You know, I was just surfing with my tongue in my cheek the other day looking for inspiration for a discussion (horrors, I actually need the payout money this month! lol), when I came across the category 'antidepressants', and this discussion popped into my head, so here it is. But it was meant as a kind of 'stick your tongue out, just for fun' discussion. It is SO NICE to see a really intelligent response to it! Thank you for that! BR to you!
Oh, and I love the 'bunched up panty people' line. You can be sure I'll use it! lol

LOL I really enjoyed reading this discussion. I like the lighthearted way in which it was written and if this is the result of your boredom I am going to take a look at all your posts because I have a feeling I will like them too :)
What do I do when I get bored? It really depends, I do quite a lot of different things but usually none troll related.

Hey Daffy Darlin,
Are you trying to lure them out into the open? It's daytime here so they are still bridging it. If you know who some of these creatures are will you PM or email me? I never seem to be around when they show up.
Have you notice that your rating has gone up by 1? Hugsssssssss
