Just sayin'. If you carefully revisit the conversation, you'll notice that I've mentioned my observation is based on personal anecdotes. However, unlike others in this conversation I haven't asserted any authority on the subject in an unsourced attempt to substantiate my claim. You're weaker than Sal's gravy(but 3 times saltier), why are you even interjecting? Edited November 6, 2023 by Pepper_Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny. You started the whole confrontational tone with Sonny boy comments. Friendly public warning. Every day you post the blurry line of trolling that you present here is becoming less and less blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to someone as "Sonny Boy" in the same sentence acknowledging my extremely advanced age is my attempt at humor, and it's not a particularly subtle one! 😅 If I'm trolling I'd love to hear how you describe the attitudes and aggressiveness of the core group who post here 20+ times a day. A double standard is emerging when it comes to calling out confrontational posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A double standard is emerging when it comes to calling out confrontational posting. The only double standard is I don't usually call people out publicly. Many people you reference have probably at one time or another have had a post edited / deleted or given a warning. A distilled definition of trolling is basically posting **** for the sole purpose of getting a reaction out of other people, and when they get that reaction, they complain about ad hominem attacks. When you do get to the point of being a more blatant troll, then you will get the same warnings mentioned above. Until then, keep doing what you are doing, or don't. Up to you. Cheers.

You're weaker than Sal's gravy(but 3 times saltier), why are you even interjecting? My observation is not anectdotally based in any way. I told you Jr. membership is on the rise at my curling club, and from speaking to other curling club members that is the norm. What is anecdotal about that? Instead, you went full on stupid and asked me to provide receipts proving that. Like...yea...I'll go straight down to the club, call a meeting, and ask the treasurer for copies of the books because some guy on the internet can't stand to be wrong. Jeez Louise. You made a post condemning the future of curling in curling's bedrock province. Not sure why you thought that would play well, especially to all of us that know better but instead of admitting that maybe your gut feeling about it was wrong, and thanking someone for bringing accurate info on the matter, you go full on troll about it.

Your credibility takes a hit with comments like this. I encourage you to explore the definition of anecdotal evidence and explain how your argument, which relies solely on personal experience and observation, doesn't fall into that category. It's clear that we both share a passion for curling. Let's come together on that common ground and move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It relies on statistics. The statistic being memberships are up in junior curling at my curling club, and according to the MCA across the province. That my friend is a fact. You can dismiss it as anecdotal if you so wish, but it doesn't make it any less factual....unlike your original claim that was completely, 100% unfounded and completely anecdotal. Just do a google search man. You are so ridiculous in the way you argue that RIch is right, it can only be trolling.

My seemingly inconsequential anecdote holds an equal standing to his similarly unverified anecdote, considering the factual information presented. To be honest, no concrete facts have been introduced into this conversation. It doesn't come as a shock that some might struggle with understanding this. Anonymous online discussions often lack the finer skills of reading comprehension and logical thinking. But hey, feel free to hold a different view of logical reasoning and reality, I suppose.
