There have been lots of discussions on various internet websites to create so - called troll free zones.
There have been countless attempts to define the characteristics of internet trolls, but none of these attempts tell me anything about who these people actually are.
I´d like to say that the best way to get used to internet trolling is to stop handling it as a problem and start supporting it - unless if you wish to handle it as a problem try handle it as a philosophical one.
One person´s post is another person´s internet trolled out post.
So if you post something about Gandi or Hegel or whatever, you´re called a troll.
If you´ve got a different version of reality than everyone else on such a site and if you can´t follow the party line, you can rest assured you´ll be called a troll sooner or later.
So let´s keep it simple; support for internet trolling, is one of the most sensible decisions people should be making these days.
Wanna know why?
There is a simple answer to why, and it has got to do with a little known artist movement known as the Fauvres, or the Wildbeasts, which came from France.
The Fauvres were termed Wildbeasts, because they concluded they had no control over what they put on the canvases they painted on.
At first, they´d be called lunatics and stupid and given much similar terminology to describe their personas as trolls are given today.
One day the French people realized they had had enough of this Les Fauvres namecalling, so they decided to call the movement Les Fauvres.
Creative movements like ´impressionists´and ´expressionists´became accepted parts of scociety, much like today´s Reptilian Resistance has become or is rapidly becoming.
So think about it - every day you use the term ´troll´to define someone who writes in Gonzo or other bizzarely appearing internet style you increase the chances that this person´s movement will be celebrated the next day, so let´s just admit it to ourselves, that trolls are just as much a part of our society, as we are - and that their current situation has resulted in a similar situation as that which the Fauvres would come to terms with, once their art movement would reach it´s maturity.
My advise to trolls? Paint more, draw more or whatever, and write less. That means an advise to myself as well. I hope I may be of some use thus to this ´troll movement´or whatever people would like to call it - a movement composed of mighty minded people who, according to rumours or based on how they write, write like little children, despite being mostly adults.
If people want to create troll free zones good luck with that - but sooner or later, some people previously called trolls will find their ways to the next website where they keep evolving their writing style, and those who won´t mature will then just vanish into some kind of thin internet air. I am already painting and drawing a bit more than I used to and trying to send some of my stuff here, with the hope that I am being of some use. If what I have written here or said in the past has been of little or no value whatsoever, my initial apologies.
I should add that on most pages I write these days, I try to the best of my ability to remove all posts I have published, whose content is useless or somehow doesn´t meet up with the spirit of entertainment maintained through the use of the site.
This will be my first, and probably last post, where I come to the conclusion that there is a similarity between modern internet trolls and the Les Fauvres movement.
