Ya got that right Maggie...try it on dial up....lmao.
What I don't like is the 'unsubstantiated allegations, lies and worse... gossip that they carry over on facebook and twitter. Gossip is always malicious and the product of an idle mind. Misha...this seems to be common practice amongst trolls....many here have experienced similar, (and much worse) but we ignore it.....all of you coinees should too. Perhaps the same people who disrupt the Ebay boards, also disrupt the Oztion boards?. The MO certainly seems the same.
My point is that this dysfuntional game they play is designed to get a bite.....and indeed that's exactly what it achieves, and ultimately to their victims' detriment, not theirs...hence, replying to their baits is like diving into the jaws of a shark.........
If you say nothing, they achieve nothing other than making themselves look like untrustworthy vindictive louts. A lot has been said about various members here on Ebay and Twitter for instance, but none of it stands up to time....the accusations and malicious gossip tend to prove themselves wrong in the end, ultimately backfiring on the person/s who spread them.
As Maggie points out too...this isn't Oztion or Ebay.....ganging up doesn't wash here, and neither does the old bait and report game...Nobody can get somebody else narp'd or naru'd on this site maliciously....so there can be no concern over unfair advantage or bias...we don't discriminate, all trolls and troll games are unwelcome here..... Too many of us have been at the receiving end to be naive to their M.O. and their ultimate destructiveness to any community.
That being said, heated debate can sometimes be mistaken for argument, but when insults start appearing, their is no doubt what it has become. It's up to the participants to keep it objective. As Poddy said, to avoid things turning into an argument, it's best to debate the point, not the poster.
Can't you have a posting ID on Oztion?.....that would solve a few problems if you keep it separate from your buying/selling accounts?.
