@forceghostackbar "Norman" seems to be less annoyed by the story than our Red Herring is. Part of the sock variation of the trolling game is the "guess who I am" scenerio.
When I was a single digit newbie I had to research what a troll was and what a sock was when I saw the terms, I certainly didn't wander into the far reaches of a Board and start threads about the horrors of Trolls taking over the territory.
Gnite and good luck on the quest ! I hope the story continues .. it's actually a ![](https://cdn.wallpapersafari.com/89/40/USHhtJ.gif)

This is an excellent point. scabab - How is this thread okay when it isn't okay to begin a thread discussing DC-Fan's likely opinions regarding Infinity War? Because this thread was made for comedic and playful purposes. The other thread was made for belittling purposes. "What's DC Fan's reaction going to be to Avengers" "He's probably going to say this and that because he's a troll" Is just how that thread would play out.

1. It’s not about an actual poster and doesn’t ‘call out’ anyone. 2. Please don’t try to persuade anyone to shut this down. This is so much fun, and everyone’s having a great time. 1. Seahawk's thread was about guessing DC-Fan's reaction to Infinity Wars. This thread is about guessing Nomenclature's identity. Neither was calling anyone out though both carried subtle undertones of inferred insults. 2. I do NOT want this thread closed, as I don't see anything wrong with it. However, I also didn't want Seahwak's thread closed as I thought it was just as harmless. 3. What I don't get, is why one is taboo whereas one is allowed. the art of nuanced thinking. This is at what you fail. The difference between
(i) a mean-spirited call-out thread by an arch-enemy and stalker that only only purposes to belittle DC Fan and his franchise passion before the general public (in the aftermath of a cyber crime commited against DC),
and
(ii) a goofy, essentially good-natured mystery detective game iniciated by a Joker that tries to uncover the "real" (fake) user-identity of a new sock account without relevance for his/her franchise allegeance
should be easy to grasp? No? If that's above your pay grade, leave it to the moderation, they know what to do.

I personally think Norman Clature is secretly Kylo Ren, yes the character. He's come alive muahahahahaha. He's a closet comedian. In his heart he knows he is funny. Let it laugh!

How are you in a position to make an accurate judgement about whether or not I find this thread distressing? Considering you changed your avatar to that of the board game "Guess Who?" then it would have seemed you were playing your part in it. As the thread is directed at you, then if you feel distressed by it and would like the thread to be locked then I will lock it.

I’ll plead with you, scabab; don’t ruin the enjoyment for everyone else because one killjoy/sock account likes to ruin the fun for the rest of us. Please.

Why didn't you ask DC-Fan the same question before locking the other thread? For the same reason why if someone made a thread titled "NormanClature is a loser troll", it would just outright get deleted due to it's venomous nature, permission isn't needed there as that's a board attitude problem not a targeted individual user problem. Just a quick look through page 1 shows other users just having a laugh amongst themselves. The DC Fan thread already had people putting him down within a couple posts.

Yes, this thread was made for comedic purposes and has mostly stayed that way but it is no less of an implied insult than the other thread. This thread is funny at the expense of Norman. In the same vein, the other thread was funny at the expense of DC-Fan. Just to be clear, I'm not asking for this thread to be closed... same way I don't believe the other thread should have been closed. In my opinion, if you're going to start trolling people don't be surprised if they troll you back.

For the umpteenth time, I didn’t want the other thread to be closed; I strongly protested against it. But we’ve had fun with this, and I really don’t want this thread closed. It’d show a kind of Cromwellian Puritanism in getting rid of things because we’re so afraid of offending anyone, even lightly. I don’t want that mad philosophy here; this is good-natured kidding-around. Does anyone else think it telling that the moderates, who have not ‘trolled’ anyone and do not take ‘sides’ in a DC-Marvel debate, support this thread? Banning good-natured, light fun is an absurd idea, will inspire even more protest; and we’ll end up with an empty board, I assure you, scabab.

I don't know if this comment is directed at me or not, but I'll reply to it anyway. I am speaking up, not because I want this thread closed, but because I see an unequal treatment between Normanclature and DC-Fan... not just by Scabab but by the majority of people here. Harping on Normanclature is considered fun and even encouraged while harping on DC-Fan is defended against and gets shut down. Again, this statement is not directed at Scabab but to the majority of people here. Personally, I think they're both trolls and shouldn't be surprised when people troll them back.

It’s directed at scabab, not you. Just to clarify a point, though, the majority of the people who have posted here ‘liked’ my post criticizing scabab’s locking of seahawksraawk00’s thread—so most of them agree with me about both threads, that they shouldn’t have been closed down. See my argument there for the case I laid out. One can have light-hearted fun with both NormanClature and DC-Fan—and with me, and with you, etc. Most people here support it. I’m not sure where you got the impression to the contrary, but that impression is simply not true.

It was good-natured fun in both threads. I truly believe that everyone, including scabab, is overreacting because of one horrible incident. Not everything is up to that level. I strongly suggest that we stop talking about this subject or that, if we don’t, we should move it to another thread.

Well let's it put it to the test. I'll unlock the other thread and we'll see the route it takes.
