In RL they may be and likely are some of the coolest people I'd know. On the internet, your Trolls.

I found this forum with the search phrase: ''obscure point of view". What I found was a core of a few individuals who enjoy shoving their opinion down every ones throat. While attacking anyone with a different point of view. WTF?? I was looking for a diverse group of non-mainstream people conversing and expressing their opinions in an environment conducive to being different. If that's not the intent of the forum, fine, I'll look elsewhere, but it sure reads like diversity is the intent. Not the opinions of a few vs. those less able to express themselves clearly.

I understand most of what's posted is likely not intended to read the way it does, but this is the internet. Sarcasm doesn't translate. So make your intent known.

4: Hey, I found a six dicked frog on my front porch this morning. Take a look.
pic: frog ic

2: That's not a six dicked frog, that's a hermaphroditic toad in menses. Know your facts before you post.

3: Yeah, idiot.

2: Can you believe how stupid everyone else is?

6: No shit, what a fuckin' moron.

4: I looked it up and that was the closest pic I could find to the actual frog.

8: quote "Can you believe how stupid everyone else is?" quote

7: In Canada they're all 5 dicked frogs. A Blue Moose Caterpillar ate the phalanges off the genome of the first ever group to migrate this far north. They've since evolved to become 5 dicked frogs to avoid the Blue Moose Caterpillar.

2: Did you see the Jackalope on Oblaba head at the rally?

6: That was great!

2: (unrelated pic)

6: (unrelated pic)

3: (unrelated pic)

9: That is definitely a 6 dicked frog, I have four on my kitchen table right now! Know your facts idiot!
pic: retard in a wheel chair ic

2: $&*%^ It was the RED moose caterpillar that nearly wiped out the first northern migration of the six dicked frog. And that has nothing to do with this conversation we're talking about Toads and Jackalopes.

8: You're all wrong, that's a lizard.

Can you point to an example of this dynamic in action? I don't recall having seen any recent threads that have gone this way. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

I've heard about this clique, but never been able to actually pin it down. Maybe I'm too deep inside or something, I don't know.
