Open letter to the authors of troll threads, intended or otherwise
If you get the notion to be a dick, don’t; but if you positively have to be a dick or have the predilection to be a dick on accident, and somehow don’t realize that your post or comment is, in fact, dickish, please lay off the gas after you’ve been alerted to your dickishness. Not that I don’t support your right to be an asshole, I do. I’ll openly admit that my commentary on this matter is entirely self serving. See, some of us really enjoy countering the tone of troll threads with comedic pearls, hilariously brilliant retorts, poignant memes, sardonic insights, etc. By doubling down and refusing to relent after being called out, you risk having the thread closed, and as a direct result, comedic brilliance gets cast into the ether never to be enjoyed or expounded upon again. It’s truly a waste that could be avoided if you just automate your dickishness to fade out over time and/or just up the attack a bit initially to soften the impact. Thanks in advance.

I believe the problem is that if someone is in the mood to be a dick, or is in fact a dick for life, they may not have the outer perspective required to see their actions as those of a dick. Take the sense of entitlement that seems to be quite popular these days. I don't get the impression that these dicks we see all over reddit etc etc see their actions for what they are.
I guess we are fortunate so little of that goes on here.
This is not general app discussion. This is off topic. Posts like these go nowhere positive on here so just a heads up.
If it saves just one dick it will all be worth it.
That’s what she said...
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)
@SpookyZoo caught me in the first comment, touché.
@Ailerom good insight.
@LinearLineman no doubt, that’s why they tend stick out like a sore thumb.
My post was born of the fact that in a post from earlier today where the OP was bashing a developer, not only did he get schooled, the comments got really funny (not at OP’s expense, just general silliness) The OP continued to push and the thread got closed. Before they closed it, we saw a lot of the very classy, thoughtful posts that are the norm in this forum (certainly can’t say the same for other forums as @Ailerom said). Also present was a lively discussion with a lot of good points, and to my chagrin, some good jokes. Chicken shit was quickly becoming chicken salad and because the OP’s ego was engaged, some good arguments and more laughs never saw the light of day.
As ever, I suspect that the Dunning-Kruger effect applies.
In this instance: understanding that one is being a dick - and that being a dick is undesirable - requires the exact same capacity as not being a dick in the first place.
The internet ensures that D-K gains more relevance almost daily.

Exactly this.

Exactly.
As in Chapter 20 of The Tao: "Abandon study and your worries will cease." / "Stop thinking and your troubles will end." (Depending on the translation)
That Lao Tzu (or maybe "Lao Tzu" is more accurate) was writing about it so many hundreds of years ago suggests that it's not a new development. I'm not sure if that's reassuring ("hey, were not actually getting worse - we've been this bad for centuries!") or distressing ("hundreds of years and our species is still not learning from this?"). A bit of both, perhaps
