An open letter to trolls -- GET AVATARS
Jim Sterling | 11:00 AM on 11.18.2008 80 comments


It's become a kind of running joke that when I post something that contains an opinion, the post will be descended upon by trolls that haven't even bothered to find avatars, indicating that their sole purpose on Dtoid is to lurk and give me pageviews as and when required.

Well, the joke has worn thin. Sure, it's funny when you don't have to look at your comments page, but when you scroll down and see this .... THIS;



You lose the will to live.

You have all become this entity to me. A mindless sea of default avatars. It's like reading the opinions of an ant colony. GET AVATARS YOU FUCKPUPPETS!

I always felt that it helped to know what to skip. It's like an automatic shit filter.

Hookah Malone had an avatar. These garden variety trolls have nothing on him.

Those are actually all my accounts that I use for my "Keep Jim Sterling Out of America" campaign.

If I paint you as an freedom hating terrorist, maybe they'll stop you at the gates.

I try, with my avatar, to at least appear that I'm constantly pissed off, so I feel like I reached a manageable goal there.

Cheers.
necrozen's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, it looks bland. But part of the fun of dtoid is arguing with people in the comments under your posts - whether or not I agree with what you have to say that day, I enjoy that you bring the opinions out in people - even the dumb boring people without burt reynolds avatars.

Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
notice how everyone in here has a avatar?

lets keep it that way.
WarZombie's Destructoid Blog
I would if the Destructoid page would show my god damn avatar. I've uploaded a few images and they just will not display on the website.

I promise I'm not a troll. Troll's hate Christmas and drop puppies off rooftops.

Bleedin' Lisa from Silent Hill. At least, I think that's what mine is.

Also, boobs...
The Big Bad Wolf's Destructoid Blog
People who take Mr. Sterling's posts to heart need to invest in suicide. Flamebait or not, you just got reeled in, what does that make you? A fucking goldfish.
The Big Bad Wolf's Destructoid Blog
I'll also add that goldfish live for two weeks, are flushed down the toilet, easily forgotten and never missed. Just like the people who get reeled in by "flamebait".

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.
