Are you a Troll in the UK? Best read on:

[the_leander]

You know the UK really is getting a well deserved reputation for orwellien BS, so it should come as no surprise that yet again another example of this has come up...

Do not piss off the moderator – or a jail sentence could await you. In fact, do not generally piss people off on the net, or the same may apply, as unemployed Colm Coss of Ardwick, Manchester is likely very soon to be finding out.

Mr Coss is a troll, with the particularly unpleasant habit of seeking out online tribute sites – and leaving vicious or obscene messages about the deceased. His targets have included Facebook memorials to victims of high-profile tragedies around the world, which he then set about attacking with sexual innuendo.

This is the sort of case that'd have been better handled by an old fashioned beating to pummel the retardation out of his skull, than legal action, particularly of such a far reaching nature.

Agreed on all points, especially the far reaching nature of the law being used.

I give it 18 months before a case comes up where this law gets abused by someone in power to silence something really very naughty.

Not terribly familiar with UK legislation. Are there a precedent for this sort of thing ?

What, badly written law getting abused by the powers that be? Oh sure.

A few years back a local council started using the horrendously worded anti-terror laws to spy on parents applying to get their kids into specific schools to make sure that that they actually lived in the right catchment areas.

A guy was ejected from the Labour party conference a couple of years back on (you guessed it) anti terror laws.

Never watched "zeitgeist" Runequester? The only country that politicians abuse power more than in the UK is the USA. ...oops, I shouldn't have posted that, now I'll be on the no fly, anti-terror list for sure.

Zeitgeist is a steaming pile of horse shit and anyone caught using it in a non ironic sense aught to be birched.

Most of them.

It is inaccurate and very biased, but it still raises some questions that need answers. Such as how a passport miraculously survives the twin towers crash unscathed when the biggest piece of recognisable debris from the planes apart from that was half a mobile phone keypad. Or why 3 of the terrorists involved and apparently on the planes, are still known to be alive and well.
As for being birched, who's doing the whipping? If it's Vicky Blows or someone else as hot,  I'll be up for that. XD

[the_leander]

Oh so you're a troofer as well, right.

No, it's debunked nonsense created by deeply unscrupulous assholes who damn well know better and nommed up like ambrosia by the credulous and the lazy.

but it still raises some questions that need answers.

No, those questions have been answered over and over. That troofers are wilfully ignorant of the information is not my problem.

Seriously? this crap was debunked years ago. I can only assume that the reason people keep bringing this up at this late stage is because they're retarded.

And I'll bet in all this time, you still haven't read the NIST report in full, instead relying on what the leaders of the troof movement quote mined.

I actually had hoped that I'd in fact misread your first post to Runequester and that you were in fact just having a laugh.

*sigh*

@ Leander

Oh I think I should stop about now shouldn't I.

I was going to keep that up for a while longer and then claim that man didn't land on the moon either, I could have kept going for ages but I just don't have the heart.

So, to answer your original question.

"Are you a Troll in the UK?"

Yes, but only if someone is silly enough to ask me.

For the record, I've read the conspiracy theories, and the counter theories many times.
My ancestors were knights Templar, I have freinds in the royal order as well as the Illuminati and Rosicrucians. According to David Ike et al, I'm a reptillion and part of the conspiracy too.

We will take over your planet.

So mote it be

If you like, personally I was enjoying being able to break out the heavy ordinance against troofers one last time. The vast majority of the movement from what I've seen have moved over to the Alt Med and anti vax groups.

As troofers they were fairly harmless, if somewhat annoying but fun to blast. As either of the latter two, their credulousness actually makes them dangerous.
