The highlighted comment was created in this revision.

Seriously. He was always bringing up complaints about how blacks are mistreated and stuff, and he always ended up causing flame wars and trolling.

    You're equating MLK's effort to end discrimination with a twat whining about finding unsuitable images while he's surfing the Internet from work? Fuck - yes, you just did that. You really are a moron.

      I'm just saying, not every complaint is concern trolling.

        "Shut up, Brx."00:32, 11 September 2011

        So you're JAQing off? Maratwat was concern trolling, as usual. No question.

          SuspectedReplicant retire me00:35, 11 September 2011

          So my example was a little extreme. But is it absurd for Maratrean to want to be able to go on RW at work without getting in trouble for a bunch dongs being on his screen?

            You do realise the actual point is that Nx's extension has a bug in it - he forgot to deal with the category pages. Nx needs to fix his code. I'm helping Nx by letting him know that. Funny how helping a programmer by letting them know about a bug in their code is "trolling"...

              Concern Troll

                Oh grow up.

                  Totally agree. Maratwat needs to grow up and learn not to bother the adults.

                    Hey SuspectedRelicock!! How witty...

                    Look, it's stupid and childish on all fronts. Don't pretend to be one of the adults when you're not.

                      ADK...I'll deter your whip!00:44, 11 September 2011

                      Are you seriously so divorced from reality that you can't spot Concern Trolling when you see it? Fucking get a better pair of specs and stop bothering me until then.

                        SuspectedReplicant retire me00:45, 11 September 2011

                        I can spot when people overuse the word "troll" for their own ends. In fact, most (not all, though) instances of "trolling" I've ever seen are, in fact, not trolling at all but people merely labeling it as such. I think people are too eager to jump on the "concern trolling" bandwagon because they're a little too sensitive of criticism and the fact - shock of horrors - they may not be universally agreed with. Importantly, I don't think anyone is innocent of that.
