I'm a Datalounge accusatory troll
I accuse everyone with popular threads of being a troll.
I'm too stupid to come up with clever threads and far too dull to come up with any funny threads.
It kills me when someone else's thread becomes popular so I have to infest any popular thread I see with troll comments--everyone is a troll as far as I'm concerned.
I love calling everyone "John" or "poo shoes" or "PMBT". I'm desperate for these memes to catch on but sadly I'm the only one who uses them.
When you use the ignore button on me a third of the comments disappear.
I don't really have a life so I spend my time here calling out anyone who is funnier, wittier or more articulate than me.
You all hate me but I don't care, any attention makes me happy even negative attention.
Please don't hate me, just pity me.

OP, are you the David.a R.ochelle/Witchiepoo//Poo Shoes stalker??
Do you believe the height of all wit is posting that same photo of the Bellagio???

I love it, OP. Glad someone finally spelled out what a lot might think watching active threads.
The troll OP is talking about isn't typically as on point as OP or "+1" worthy when doing a troll thread.

Some people need structure in their lives. They don't like to think there are multiple minds out there creating inane threads.

LOL. I've been called "Poo shoes" by a certain poster. WTF? And when you look at his posting history, you ALMOST feel sorry for him because he's clearly a big ole' mess of a human being...but then you remember he's an asshole, and sympathy goes out of the window.

OP, that's Datalounge for you. An anonymous message board where all you can go with is a poster's message and maybe his previous post history (ignore a poster's message and then check your ignore tab and look what else said poster posted).
There is a lot of freedom in posting on Datalounge, but it also tempts you to let go of certain inhibitions (calling other posters frau, cunt, troll, etc. / be a troll yourself / shit on other people's opinions or beliefs / be a snarky bitch and throw shade about everything and everyone, etc.).
Don't take posts and posters so seriously. If you do put the posts or entire threads (for example: political ones or the anti-trans ones) on ignore so they won't let you get involved and otherwise ruin your Datalounge visit.
Personally I love the pictures of hot guys (presenting hole, in slut shirts, etc.) threads or any kind of lifestyle threads (cooking, interior design, etc.). Those are the ones where you meet other nice Datalounge appreciating similar things and sometimes you can be entertained about how heated some posters can get arguing about pretty much nothing.

Someone called me PBMT once- what does that mean?

I thought PBMT and John were the same person.
I got accused of being both just last night in a thread about covered wagons of all things.

Yeah it gets ridiculous, especially with accusations of posting from multiple accounts and counterstalking . There are a handful who do and their writing style is so distinctive they're easy to spot (and block).
I almost hate to say it because I don't want to encourage anyone, but the trolls are part of what gives this place that je ne sais quoi. I love the the random hilarity of how some mundane topic like bookshelves can turn into a screeching, hair-pulling girls' washroom brawl, and the resident trolls with their obsessions are part of that. It's like a little bit of saffron.
I think being accused of being John is a DL rite of passage, like being told to die in a grease fire.

I despise the assumption that any remotely negative or critical response to any topic on social media is disregarded as a "troll" fishing for attention. It really shuts down any meaningful debate and fills it with mindless syrup.

Being accused is not the same as being convicted. I think we can all take comfort in that.

I've been accused by the poo shoes troll also. I think the poo shoes troll is the same person as poo shoes.
I think I may have been accused of being John, too. It's a great thread killer, even it the thread was getting a lot of responses earlier.

Most of these losers are young guys. I can tell because young'uns usually mistake snark for wit. You can't blame them though as they're surrounded by other 20 something imbeciles who also mistake snark for wit.

Gawker used to have the best comments section and people posted with user names so it cut way back on the trolls. I was sorry to see Gawker go for this reason alone - the articles were nothing special. Jezebel is by the same format but the articles don't seem to attract the same group of smart witty posters. Sometimes it can get funny but it's not consistent.
Data Lounge can be great but the anonymous postings give trolls to much room. DL need better software and a better way to block trolls. But it is what it is. DL is still fun and mostly the trolls are easy to ignore. But sometimes they are so aggressive and so stupid I have to move to another thread - I'm sure we've all experienced this. And I'm not totally against trolls - just the ones that are overly-aggressive about being an asshole and annoying.
Maybe someday DL will get better software - or another site like this will come along that 's more fun. But in the meantime I'm glad to read the comments and occasionally post - it's fun and the trolls teach me patience.

r34 - I think there are several people doing the poo shoes thing. It's a great troll "brand" and can be used for whoever is in the mood. But I do agree with OP - there are several sad people who spend most of the day on DL (and probably a bunch of other sites too) just being an assholes and spreading negativity. I guess it beats shuffling around town avoiding eye contact ...

I found the Accuser troll, he was posting just seconds ago.
He comes on at R97 and accuses a poster of being the Spaz Troll.

I also can’t figure this out. It is intending to be damning, obviously. (Oh, for shame! Someone posts a lot!) But who cares? Unless this one person is repeating themselves, I can’t see that it matters.

“I accuse everyone with popular threads of being a troll. I'm too stupid to come up with clever threads and far too dull to come up with any funny threads.”
Here is why we know YOU are the problem. I’ve been on Datalounge since pre-2000 and the REAL Datalounge was never about attention-whores like you.
And there hasn’t been a clever thread on this site in 5 years if I’m being generous.
So fuck you Rejects from other sites, you are not clever or original I’m the least. You need to be called on your shit for your own good.
