I'm a troll

Someone posted a link to an LJ that reposted the "Stella Awards"

I went to that LJ, read all the typical fucking furry anti-human posts, then posted a link to Snopes.com showing it's all an urban legend.

I get called a troll: "gawd you people just love to troll and correct people eh?" is the specific comment.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother trying.

Because it's fun to tweak ignorant people that freak out so much when someone waves the bullshit flag on them???

Iihh-WAAAAHHHH! iihh-wAAHHHHHH!! Iiihh-WAAAAHHHH! I SAID SOMETHING THAT WASN'T TRUE BUT I'M STUPID AND INSECURE AND DON'T WANT ANYONE POINTING OUT THAT IT'S NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAVE SUCH A FRAGILE PERSONALITY THAT I CAN'T HANDLE BEING AROUND OTHER HUMANS SO I'M GOING TO WHINE, BITCH AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW MEAN, NASTY AND MISERABLE HUMANS ARE AND HOW THEY SHOULD ALL DIE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS POINT OUT HOW I'M WRONG AND NEED TO THINK BEFORE I SPEEEAAAAAK!! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! WWWWAAAAAAHHHHH!! *sobsobsob*

In most cases, you probably shouldn't. The information was readily available; if they don't want to bother checking sources, they are not going to be swayed by you posting them. Such people are a waste of time; they think what they want, right or wrong, and nothing will change that.

It's okay, Batty. These men are cowards. They're furries.

You shouldn't read more into that comment than mild annoyance. And the mild annoyance of one person should not be cause for you to re-evaluate your own self-worth.

I posted, after the reponse to you, my own research into the issue; I had seen this list years ago. I spend a fair amount of time debunking silly notions; I try to balance concerns for truth and concerns for feelings. You did fine, and your comments were appropriate.

Relax, my friend.

Ion, our ottery friend, and dear draconic LH are both correct.

Besides, you at least have a clue -- and wanted to share it! *grins*
