As for the OP in this thread, I reserve my judgement for now, but my troll detector had been flickering,..

You're an idiot.



Wait...is that a troll response?

The indicator needle just flashed hard over against the stop there for a moment...

Personal attacks of this sort will get attention from the staff here.

Wait . . . was your remark meant tongue-in-cheek? No matter. We don't know each other well enough yet for me or anybody on this site to let such edgy badinage slide by. No red text this time, as you're new. Do try to be less personally obnoxious in the future.

This is kind of amusing. He's threatening to be annoying without actually doing it. He goes on and on about being argumentative without actually saying argumentative (besides calling Bluenose an idiot). Are you just trying to be fed the metaphorical table scraps of a troll without actually trolling?
If you're going to be a troll, at least act like it so you can get off on being banned. Right now I feel like I'm watching a porn where everyone keeps their clothes on.

Well you can just fuck right off.



Wait...is that a facetious response?

Yes, but talking to just your own kind gets boring. And, the more inviting to those not your kind creates conversation and perhaps deconversions.

I only know fundies.

I know a large number of moderate and progressive Xtians (related to many of them), but none of them does forums. 

I know, right? They're the ones who don't want their faith questioned because they know it can be. To a Fundy, very rare.

You call me names, I call you names. It seems only fair. Idiot.

Oh...so people calling me a "troll" isn't a personal attack? Maybe you're an idiot, too, and don't see that's the same thing?

Red text that. Or red text people calling me a troll, or implying it, 'cause you haven't done that yet. It's okày to call people troll or imply it without evidence to back it up but calling people an idiot goes too far?

Idiotic. You obviously allow name-calling because people keep calling me a fuckin' troll!

Name-calling.

Where's the red text?

[Nam]

Oh, and I'm honest about what kind of person I am just to let you know, and I get called names from the start. Who's the asshole there?

-Nam

[Firebird]

Oh please, no one called you names. You threatened to act like a jackass, people objected to that, and then you called them names.

Anyway, I'll just lean back and watch...

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Ooooh, ooooh, Let's play Jeopardy!

Bruno:
How about "Obvious Troll is Obvious" Alex?


Alex Trebeck: Okay, here's the first question, and remember you must answer with a question.

No, I didn't. I just said I come off argumentative and people see me as an "asshole" and you took that as me saying that is what I am.

I piss people like you off because I am honest. That's your problem, not mine.

[OldGit]

I have seen many similar edgy starts from new joiners, and I can't remember any which lasted long or ended well.  Just saying.

You don't piss me off. I mostly feel sorry for you.

He didn't call you a troll, so all you're doing is misrepresenting him. What he did is imply that he thinks that perhaps you're here to troll this site. For somebody who prides himself on skills in argumentation, to engage in the intellectual dishonesty of misrepresenting another person's position is a rather sorry showing. Up your game; this is too easy.

You reappeared here with chest-thumping proclamations regarding your vast internet experience, and your storied history of being banned from other sites. You were generally welcomed, but people have a right to express their reservations regarding your motivation. If you're so thin-skinned that you have to immediately start insulting those people, then it appears you haven't learned much about how to handle such situations skillfully during your time online.

You've dished it out and some people have dished it right back. See following post.
