Pope: Catholics should ask gay people for forgiveness

[rah]

If a KKK member came here and spouted off his bigotry, we would call him out too.
Ben is no different. Except he claims to be a moral person. Which actually makes him worse.

Now we just need to figure out who's DL Bespin is.

It didn't take me long to figure that Ben is a classic internet-troll. I see them everywhere, and I try not to indulge in their stupid games. As such I just ignore his part of the conversation, compleatly. He is not interesting.

You on the other hand, is interesting. The rational part of your mind must understand that this is a hopeless cause, but for some reason you still indulge in this madness. I mean, what do you hope to get out of this? IF Ben ever gives in? What will you have won? Is this really that important? Will you write this on your CV?

I am not indulging in anything. I am defending my community. You don't know if there are other young LGBT people who come here. I am standing up for my community. As simple as that. I will just keep shutting him down.

[Bespin]

You realize that there are probably better places than a Civilization-centric forum to get your (in my mind) really important message across? I am all for the LGBT-cause, but come on, you can probably spend your time and effort in a better manner... Just my two cents...

Ben is not a classic. A classic troll's post to response ratio is a heck of a lot lower than Ben's. Look at his post count in this thread alone. No real troll puts that much effort into it. His almost 30% participation in this thread is more of a classic pubescent "look at me thread"
All this thread has proved is that Ben has no clue and people like calling him a douche. Win win.

I'm not really spending that much time here at all. Though I have a few posts here, most are short and to the point. And I do post on an LGBT forum too.

I think you are misreading what my entire intention is about.

I think you want to prove that you are right and Ben is wrong.

Most people would probably agree with you, as do I.

But you will never be victorious agains Ben. He will NEVER admit to being wrong. You won't get that satisfaction.

Sometimes you just have to let things go. Some people can't be reasoned with.

Sure... BK will never admit he's wrong. But the fact that he makes all religious right bigots look like morons is more than enough satisfaction.
Every time he doubles down on his own stupidity, it brings a smile to our faces.

He thinks he's some big time internet troll, and in reality he just a fool that everybody laughs at. And he thinks he's winning...

It's not really shutting him down when he carries on saying the same things. It's just how Ben is, the only way to shut him up is to push him into saying something that gets him banned. This happens a couple of times a year generally.

So you basically use him as amusement?

He's around to say stupid things that affirms your beliefs towards 'religious right bigots'?

And then you all attack him and call him stupid?

And as Giancarlo said, and I paraphrase it now; 'everyone else is doing it, so it is okay'

You guys seems like a nice lot...

Come on... this is the internet... lighten up

[Bespin]

Come on... this is the internet... lighten up

Haha, that is EXACLY what I am suggesting, by ignoring Ben.

[Bereta_Eder]

it is a... symbiotic relationship.
Ben likes the attention and some people for reasons of their own satisfy his craving (in their own way )

if you watch closely you'll see alot of these symbioses here

You read too much into things. I treat Ben as a piece of crap out of my own entertainment.

I will do my best!
