Why is the Ferrari crowd so oversensitive if someone posts a thread like this? Why do you care what he/she thinks?
Ton, we care because it is posted at Ferrarichat.com. If we didn't care we didn't read/post here. Nothing wrong with somebody who likes Porsches, but you can except some defensive answers when you post such tread on a Ferrari forum.
it's just someone trying to stir up **** is all. there's always gonna be a few people who vehemently defend the honour of something they love and try to convince others of their opinion, that's who trolls target, for funsies. excerpt from: http://www.urban75.com/Mag/troll.html (my emphasis) read the whole article, it's worth it just for the sake of it. ############### Section 1: What Is A Troll? The WWW gives this as a definition: troll v.,n. To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies"; which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling";, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. The following extract is from a broader expansion of the defining comments given above: In Usenet usage, a troll is not a grumpy monster that lives beneath a bridge accosting passers-by, but rather a provocative posting to a newsgroup intended to produce a large volume of frivolous responses. The content of a "troll posting generally falls into several areas. It may consist of an apparently foolish contradiction of common knowledge, a deliberately offensive insult to the readers of a newsgroup, or a broad request for trivial follow-up postings. There are three reasons why people troll newsgroups: People post such messages to get attention, to disrupt newsgroups, and simply to make trouble. Career trollers tend for the latter two whilst the former is the mark of the clueless newbie and should be ignored. ###############
Ton, Dino 208gt4, ashsimmons, MalcQV already gave you the perfect answer. I agree 110% with them. BTW, where is the P-dude??????
there is a swiss saying: "nur d'bettsaicher meined"! translation for the flachlandindianer (the indians from the flat land): only people who still piss in the bed have opinions....
LOL, hope the rest of the body is also still doing fine? I realy miss you buddy hope to CU soon again for a couple of beers
I don't know about better cars but Porsche is boring to me and Ferrari is as exciting stand still as it is running... Do you Porsche fan collecting Porsche? I mean do they have somebody have 911, 992, 993, 994,356, and so on...seriously
I just think that you are all the food where trolls live on. I just tried in this tread to stir up some people and I am amazed how easy that is. Everybody is soooo sensitive. It is simply to rewarding to be a troll on this forum. That is why they keep on coming back. I am also amazed by the strong reactions if someone happens to disagree. People on this forum tend to collect a bunch of names and form a small opinion group. I think that this makes them feel better.
