Example Thread Gone Hilariously Wrong
-
@scottalanmiller here is a Picture of the conversation
-
Sadly, this turned into way too much about one thread, lol. In the end, I can't believe anyone is actually this stupid. This HAS to be pure trolling. I mean seriously. Four times pointing out that he was getting something dead simple wrong... but he stuck to his guns looking dumber and dumber with each post.
-
I ended up reporting the OP for trolling and the guy supporting him for unprofessional "demanding condescension" behaviour that doesn't fit with the community.
I'm pretty sure that the thread was a set up. People get their rocks off on this stuff.
-
And the topic is locked

Yeah, THREE HOURS after I reported two trolls in it.
-
To be completely honest I've been moderated and muted faster than this topic...
-
What's great is I warned, in the very first post, about how people were going to behave and how fake answers were going to be given if he didn't give the full information. And look, exactly what happened.

I know, right? I reported this one and wanted it shut down a long time ago. Honestly, the OP is, I think, a newbie and should be censored. It was totally inappropriate to run a "set up" thread.

You are still having your posts allowed through in a trickle.
-
And the op just asked to have the topic deleted

Exactly as predicted.
-
Being stupid usually is unpleasant..
-
Yeah, imagine how unpleasant it was for the people who were trying to be helpful but he chose to set up and attack for being so.
His whole "making me feel stupid" thing is just BS. Another person can't really make you feel stupid, only you can make yourself feel stupid. What a line to use.
-
Had he just been willing to admit he was confused and either ask for help, or read what was provided to him, it could have been a useful, educational thread. Instead, he decided to take offense to not knowing everything and lash out at others for his own shortcomings. He could have handled that well, quite easily, and looked very normal as it is a completely normal thing to be confused about.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-love-and-war/201311/why-do-we-blame-victimsGreat article and a good example of what happened.

This paragraph sums it up well: "Victim blaming is not just about avoiding culpability—it's also about avoiding vulnerability. The more innocent a victim, the more threatening they are. Victims threaten our sense that the world is a safe and moral place, where good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. When bad things happen to good people, it implies that no one is safe, that no matter how good we are, we too could be vulnerable. The idea that misfortune can be random, striking anyone at any time, is a terrifying thought, and yet we are faced every day with evidence that it may be true."
That, and I assume that lots of people feel that they have technical gaps and prefer to feel coddled than to feel that they should be exposed. Humans react negatively to the pressure to improve ourselves, which comes from identifying flaws, gaps, mistakes, etc.

Now we've got moderators violating policy and trying to make the OP look good. Glad that we screen capped it here.
