A few people will now come on here and tell you that I am the shill, lol. You will never really know i fear. Basically, to me, the shill is the person that only focuses on derailing threads with pointless comments. We can be talking right now about shills, and real people will come on with their theories, but the shill will come and post something like "wtf would you know you useless twat. we all hate you". It is ap ost that has nothing to do with the conversation. It is designed to make everyone reading it mistrust the person they are talking to, and if anyone bites and takes the bait, you end up with a big fight, then a dead thread. Hope that helps. [/quote] Yeah nice one, I am new to these types of forums, and I am a bit dumb to top it all off. I know what the definition of a shill is but I have been trying to identify them, so this helps a lot thanks. I think there is a shill in the pinned mandela thread, but who knows. Thanks OP, this helped me too. [/quote] you really never know! My rule of thumb now is that anyone that is either contributing to the debate - even if i hate them or disagree with them, lol - is a legit poster, and i do my best to give them respect. Anyone not contributing, being abusive, name calling, seems to have no opinions data or thoughts to share, i could care less about i will not be nice to them. if they bug me enough i will tell them off and not feel bad. if they direct name calling towards me I will report them. [/quote] you seem to be confusing the terms "shill" and "troll" [/quote] possibly. glp is the only forum i have ever been to where i have had to deal with either. [/quote]
