Reply #53: When someone says to me that they "avoided" a thread, [View All]

I take it to mean that they did not read it, either. Whatever. When someone calls another DUer a troll, that message is deleted as soon as it comes to the attention of a moderator. It is one of the inviolable rules here. A discussion of trollery in general, however, does not meet that definition, so it is generally allowed. The threads were locked because they turned into flamewars, which are against the rules here.

If you want to nitpick, you'll have to go find someone else. I take words at their meanings, unless a definition is supplied. You did not "avoid" the threads. You simply did not post in them.
