This is one of my favorite memes, and you get a lot of quality mileage out of it. +1 |

But sometimes feeding a troll or more like baiting a troll is the only way to get them so fired up they end up getting themselves banned.   I've seen just one banned account and a few deleted ones. What does it take to get banned? Does one have to actively try to get banned? Trying to get people to be nice on VT is a sure-fired way to get banned. Cut it out. |

3b) Don't feed the trolls (how to spot a troll below). ~~***Written voice may indicate any of the following, and then some: narcissism, god complex, inferiority complex, superiority complex, extreme bias, targeted hate***~~ But sometimes feeding a troll or more like baiting a troll is the only way to get them so fired up they end up getting themselves banned. no, that still just pollutes the board even more. Better to just report the trollish post and not respond to it. |

Better to just report the trollish post and not respond to it. "Not responding" also includes not posting "I'm reporting this post!" Also, "trollish post" does not automatically equate with "post I don't like". |

Good advice though. Any player or coach that you mention will definitely read your comment, and then them or one of their associates will start blowing up your inbox. In some cases they might even create a couple of Kevin Durant burner accounts.

Addendum: Never go full Comic Sans. Unless, as someone put it, you're a ten-year-old girl who loves unicorns. One better (or worse) than Comic Sans is this lab experiment.  |

I thought this was going to be about the most important thing: ā Please so not post the results of a match in the Title of a thread!ā I'm also in favor of NOT posting updates or results of one match in another match's thread! |

There actually is objective truth; e.g., we lost the game. There is also subjective opinion;:e.g., they were lucky as sin. Don't confuse them. but don't deny the existence of objective truth.

I don't feel like philosophizing on truth versus fact versus subjectivity. Facts are rejected all the time, like the earth being round. Which sucks, but people usually do, so not very surprising. A fact ought to be true, and there are truths that are yet to be proven as factual. I wrote the OP while having a bout of insomnia. When I think of an objective truth (general topic), I think of it in terms of morality, which quickly becomes a clustercuck of whataboutisms, which then just becomes a right mess. So I'm not denying the existence of facts, because that's just stupid. I'm denying an objective, universal understanding of the world because every person is subjective. Why the f I'm even bothering explaining myself on an anonymous volleyball forum is beyond me. We aren't here to write essays on esoteric topics. Have a good evening, yo. Edit: But I'm honored you felt the need to clear up that facts exist. Only being half sarcastic, since people seem to get blinded by their biases all the time here. |
