> The one thing that differentiated Armin from other internet trolls was the way he conducted himself in these heated discussions. He was never emotional or aggressive. Our discussions would either end in cordial disagreement, or a newfound common understanding. That's extremely rare on the internet.
Ah haha so armin is also an Internet troll, right? For example if I said, one thing that sets the "Concorde apart from other commercial airliners, ..." I am saying the Concorde is a commercial airliner.
- latexr 6mo agoAnother one is: > Colin is pretty OK for an ex-finance dude Making it look like the author disapproves of finance dudes but finds Colin tolerable yet still within the expected parameters of badness.
- aryehof 6mo ago> “Earendil is a venture-backed for-profit, public benefit corporation” - Ronacher The author favors the “public benefit” part, but less so the “venture-backed for-profit” part, is my speculation. Likely the reason for the disapproval of the finance types and the title “I’ve sold out”.
- dathinab 6mo agoyes, but ;) tbh. it sounds a bit like he himself was somewhat of an internet troll during that time and it might not be quite the same definition of "internet troll" I tend to us like it sounds a lot like a definition of "toll" like - "very vocal, convicted of their opinion, non stop discussing(/neutral) potentially for the sake of discussing(/neutral)" while I tend to associate more something like - "intentional annoying, non stop discussing for the sake of annoying people, often using dishonest discussion techniques, potentially outright harassment"
