You're overreacting, and I think you're mistaken about the
definition of troll.
The only part of that post even directed towards SF was the first sentence. The rest was a humorous (if I must say so myself) depiction of what TFP is not. If my intent was solely to mock SF, my post would have been much, much longer and I would probably not be typing this. The above post was made in good-humor, not intended to be mean-spirited though I can see how some people could take it that way (hence the "Mods:" edit).
I think that this board (Politics) would be a lot more tolerable to read and post on if people would stop being so alarmist. My thread was locked? Surely, it is an insult to everything I stand for! Someone made a joke? I must taunt them a second time! Get back to the issues and leave the petty ego-massaging at fark/SA/wherever. I don't envy the mods -- they are investing a considerable amount of time to keep everyone "safe" and to suggest that they have malicious intentions is just asinine. I recommend that anyone with such an opinion of TFP should go elsewhere and try to find a better board.
Is it just me, or does every thread praising the mods turn into a place for people to whine about being oppressed?
