Yeah, I know. I know it has to be trolling, but have to use every opportunity to be educational, and I'm already irritated from more personal issues today.

That´s not vanilla, it´s a fact

Anyway, it´s really disgusting posting in this EB forum with you guys. You´re really ill manered, absolutely probarb fanatical (and thus blinded to History), think you know the freaking truth about everything and seems like you´re not ready to discuss anything, but just insulting as a means of communication ("you don´t have a clue", "I laugh at you", "that was a stupid comment" etc. are the beautiful words you use whenever a normal discussion starts).

It´s not surprising why all the people who post here are always the same. You´re disgusting guys. And call yourself "educational". What a joke.

now, see, that's bad trolling. try better.

Dux, how's this?

Gentlemen can we please refrain from makig this a personal discussion. If you consider there to be a troll in your midst there is one response - do not feed the troll. anything else is counter productive.

Continuing on this line will lead to warning being issued and threads being closed. I strongly advise anyone who has strayed into personal discussions to edit their posts.

**Steppe Merc** · 06-24-2005, 15:47

I bow to Catiline's wisdom, and will not post in anger.

However if you just want to attack, don't post here. Simple as that. If anyone wants to discuss history in a civilized way, I'm sure we'd all welcome it. If someone refuses to listen and just insults, I ask for them not to post here and waste everyone else's time.

**Mongoose** · 06-24-2005, 16:07

The EB team get's attack an awful lot considering they work for free...

also, don't forget those persians...they were barbs too!

Remember, a troll only becomes a troll when people actually pay attention to them. Attempting to enlighten them or going down to their level are mistakes and falling right into their trap.

From a tactical point of view they're like phalangites, a head on attack will get you nowhere. Instead you must harass and entice them through volleys of ignore javelins thus forcing them to over-extend themselves, then flank them with maturity.

**eadingas** · 06-24-2005, 17:04

I would rather compare it to an attack of mad, mindless berserkers. You can waste your time and resources trying to fight them, but it's wiser to just let them run ahead to their doom...
