Try not to have thin skin around these here parts. It's kinda sorta a heavily regulated lineup. There are other surf sites way more friendly and cordial like Magic Seaweed. They would welcome you, if you pass their smell test. I didn't. Surprise!
Good to see some of my peeps back up in this joint. Yo, some of you new dudes need to relax and let the game come to you. This place will grow on you if you get in the moshpit and let us pass you around a little. If you can take a good shot and be a good sport by firing right back you’ll get the respect you earned. Or disrespect if you are a loser, but either way, we welcome you because it take all kinds. Just accept whatever role you are given within the lineup, some guys enforce, others provide humor, some are shapers with next level knowledge, some are really good surfers and have stories to share, some are trolls just looking for conflict, like I said, it takes all kinds.
I’m just myself to be honest. I don’t come on the internet to live out some fantasy or play a role. I don’t have a schtick so to speak. I’m obviously not a shaper or a really good surfer but I have provided plenty of “talk story”, and I reckon I’m guilty of enforcing, providing humor, or trolling and looking for conflict at times. Just depends on my mood.
Obsession runs deep, very, very deep, for trolls. The only critter that obsesses about online posters for over 4 months is......a troll. Trolls who post like this, well, the OP checked this treade, what, 6 or 8 times today sparky? I'm probably low on the count. Because a troll is obsessed with online 'personas.' Newsflash: online personas aren't real. That's why they're called 'online personalities' - - but, hey, we get it, these are a troll's mysterious, mythical, vaporous set of obsessions & idols. The sketchy thing is that the troll oft-times goes into the friend or foe world & sometimes 'friends' are confused with protagonists. It's all vapors, but a troll doens't get that. Then the troll ends up in body armor & we all know what comes next. Trolls spend far, far too much of their life thinking up ripostes, giggling to thyself, can't wait to get home & post up their latest zingers regarding their phantom objects of affection located on Swelllinfo. Trolls, if the overbearing chubbsy wubbsy mod in Tejas & the mod who can't spell located in the dirty Jerz would get real about their 'duties' & stop going after SI Legends who they just don't like, yah, trolls would b e banned. Check in again, and again, and again, all wknd, OPTroll, and see what's up with your imaginary peeps. Think of us....again....and again.....and again.....follow our 'stories' online...build our profiles....you'll be thinking of us all, all the SI Legends, the banned, all wknd & (obviously, based on your stalker obsession the past several months)well into 2018.
This is what I love about you losers, who spends the time to write up such a 1000 word essay? This one was for sure Archy. Welcome back nut bag.
I feel bad for them and wanted a way for them to join back the only social life they have. Kiddie, lonely and old, Yankee inland and angry, and well archy is archy ( nothing else needs to be said). There is no way anyone likes them in the real world thus SI.
Wrong. You’re really bad at identifying writing styles. I have met Yankee, surfed with him, and I talk to him in real life. Seems like a good dude to me.
Agree with all of the above. Some o y'all just can't handle opposition viewpernts. Gotta have Mom come in and break it up. late edit... I was agreein with DP's post, specially the writin style part. I ain't met Yankee, but I don't have to. Solid dude. Don't think anyone else here ever shot the bull with me about Chuck Yeager. Nope.
This is a perfect example of how trolling is rationalized by a master troll. Well done, Troll. Troll, Part 2: Making sure you have the last word like a little girl, casually respond by blasting everyone whose views are counter to your own while making it appear as if you hold the moral high ground whilst thinly concealing your true butthurtedness. Aaannd...go.
I always enjoyed debating with Yankee; however, it's laughable if you don't think he fits in that category.
