What's the difference between a WUM and a TROLL? 20:14 - Sep 29 with 5969 viewsJackfath

Someone on another thread told a new poster that there are plenty of WUMs and TROLLS on this site.

This got me thinking about the differences between the two. Indeed, what are your definitions of the two sub categories of poster?

"Aaron Stark" by Edwin Arlington Robinson

Withal a meagre man was Aaron Stark, --
Cursed and unkempt, shrewd, shrivelled, and morose.
A miser was he, with a miser's nose,
And eyes like little dollars in the dark.
His thin, pinched mouth was nothing but a mark;
And when he spoke there came like sullen blows
Through scattered fangs a few snarled words and close,
As if a cur were chary of its bark.

Glad for the murmur of his hard renown,
Year after year he shambled through the town, --
A loveless exile moving with a staff;
And oftentimes there crept into his ears
A sound of alien pity, touched with tears, --
And then (and only then) did Aaron laugh.


He's back and filling this place full of quotes and poetry!

Did he exile himself into the Dylan Thomas School of Poetry?

Fell on the fire and burnt to ashes

Actually, I have been asked by someone I greatly respect to not respond to abusive posts with my own abuse, so I thought I'd reply with some beautiful and thoughtful poems instead.

Which of those two courses of action would you prefer? Seriously?

"but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads"

Can't be "another" meltdown as there never was a first. Nor is this a "first." You may take my word for it, I am as coldly rational as ever I have been, or could be.

Posting some of the most beautiful and thoughtful poetry ever written does not constitute a "meltdown." Shrieking obscenity-laden abuse for no reason but irrational hatred does. [Not referring to you, because in spite of your sometime hostility toward me, you've not resorted to that, for which I thank you.]

And I find it absolutely fascinating that this is bringing more abuse, while the burlesque duo of T2E and MJ are allowed to post obscenity-laden abuse with not a wisp of displeasure or censure.

I had a good laugh from your "more subtle gentle whimsical way" line. If you will remember, someone posted on here more than once that my "more subtle gentle whimsical" course is even worse than what T2E does. True. Several people have said similar things.

My only reply should bring at least one of them flailing out: "ne ivppiter qvidem omnibvs placet" Nah, they probably won't find it on Google.

Have I taken the wrong tack. No. Not in my upbringing.

Sorry if you misunderstood. Someone whom I respect suggested, with all of the right intentions, that I not reply to abuse with abuse.

Nah. "suggested, with all of the right intentions" and sincerely appreciated here, hence my new directions.

The amount of numbskulls I see on the Facebook still posting evil things about the poor girl and her parents is frightening.

I even have people on my friend list who I thought would be smart enough to avoid such things posting questionable things about it.

Sometimes people get roped in. But any formal complaint and the police need to seen to be taking appropriate action to protect themselves and of course it is very easy to track people regardless of using anonymous IDs and email addresses.
