Deckard,
I agree, this is a beautiful pond and
I have acknowledged Dan for having the opportunity to sail his boats on that beautiful pond. -
I also would LOVE to see pictures of Dan’s new 3R boat sailing on this pond - maybe even together with other boats! -
But - as I read the definitions of ‘trolling’ very thoroughly on the link you provided to us - it appears to me, that even telling:
“Hey - I would LOVE to sail my boat on that pond too!” -
Could be considered as ‘trolling’ by somebody! -
And that makes me frightened a bit -…-
Even each and every statement in the ‘other’ topic placed by YOU could have definitely been called ‘trolling’ regarding to these definitions! -
BUT nobody removed YOUR statements! -
WHY NOT??? -
So I need to ask myself - and the moderators, if I may - why lots of my own statements have been deleted because of said-to-be ‘trolling’, while your statements where allowed to stay there. -
From my point of view - and per the definitions of trolling in wikipedia - YOUR statements have been ‘trolling’ the topic created by me - not vice versa. -
And I NEVER have been ‘trolling’ any of YOUR TOPICS! -
Even Dan’s wording - as a moderator - appearently has to be called trolling per these definitions.-
You - Deckard - offended ME - not vice versa! -
My point of view regarding rc-multihulls may be neither popular not comfortable for the majority - but still well proofen by my own experience. -
To call me ‘obnoxious’ in public offended ME! -
I didn’t attack, criticise or invalidate Dan personally - but he DID - with NO REASON from my point of view! -
Before he hadn’t even been involved in the discussion -
nor did he participate to it in any way before!??? -
What did give him ANY right, to invalidate MY INTENTION? -
So I need to ask this HERE, as the ‘other’ topic was locked by WIS - and before I can continue to chat with Dan in a comfortable way about his new pond ->
Am I the ONLY TROLL here? -
Have you been trolling my topic ALSO? -
Must not be DAN’s wording considered to be ‘trolling’ too? -
Or Dick Lemke’s statements - just to pick anybody out of the discussion-partners in an arbitrary way? -
I’m looking for JUSTICE -nothing else! -
And furthermore - according to wikipedia definitions -
there are also GOOD TROLLS -
please read: “USEFULNESS OF TROLLING!” in there - and the vital question here must be,
if I should be considered a good troll or a bad troll - if I’m a TROLL at all -
and if YOU - DECKARD - are a good or bad troll! -
And Dan -
and Dick -
and JayDee -
and everybody else maybe? -
The facts are:
I have invited DAN per email to test the usefulness of my F48 trimaran float data sheet by himself - and I also invited you - DECKARD to share my experience, to visit me in Vienna to testsail my trimarans and to get any gain from my knowledge you may want to get! -
Now - am I the good, the bad or the ugly TROLL? -
The devils advocate or the gadfly on your bread-and-butter - or the helpful friend with an outstanding point of view. -
The Idealist, or Mr.Obnoxious? -
If this can be clarified to a satisfying point, then I really can wish Dan the best with his new boat on his new pond - I even would be willing to help him all the way through to have his own selfbuilt trimaran sailing on this pond, if he wants to. -
But Mr. Obnoxious wouldn’t be able to do that -
only the IDEALIST is able to! -
Think about it!
