BTW I think Clockwork Angels is awesome! I'm liking the whole sound and vibe off the album. Its an extremely great album! I just gave the trolls a place to congregate and they flocked here like flies to a zapper! You think they would have avoided this thread like the plague, but nope. I guess they just couldn't help themselves! They are so predictable and all their arguements are falling on def ears with Clockwork Angles. Cause we know it awesome! There's no bringing down or systematic destruction of this valient effort by the guys! Dude, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the new album. But you're being kind of an asshole to people who simply have a different opinion than you. You are labeling people as trolls who aren't. That ain't cool. I haven't labeled anyone or called them an @sswhole. They have done it to themselves by attempting to bring down one of rush's best efforts since the early 80's. This only tells me only one thing, they are out to neglect or destroy anything the boys have produced as of late. I saw it with S & A and now with Clockwork Angels. They come out in droves when ever there's a new album. Why? I really don't know and honestly I don't care! All I know is that this is an extremely great RUSH album and I will defend it with all my heart and soul! I do care about contrasting points of views if they're valid. But when you come out with terms like dreadful, meandering, garbage, boring, uninspiring concerning this incredible album upon its release, then I do feel there's something rotten with the whole thing. So if you want to call me an A-whole for that, than so be it! I Wish you Well! Dude...see, you did it again: I haven't labeled anyone or called them an @sswhole. They have done it to themselves by attempting to bring down one of rush's best efforts since the early 80's. Really? So, if you're not a fan of one album, then you're an 'asshole'?Again, YOU might think this way. It's great that you love CA that much. I'm happy for you. Hell, I'm loving CA a ton too. It's awesome...haven't been able to stop listening to it. But with every album, especially new ones, it's possible that others won't share the same opinion. I'm a huge fan of S&A, and I've seen others shit all over it. To be honest, even as a fan, I can see why some might not like it as much. It's mellow in many spots...it's different. I LOVE songs like Neurotica and Virtuality that get absolutely shit on all the freakin' time. I'm not going to about it...or label all of you 'trolls'. I'm not trying to bring anybody back into this, or defending anyone, but I've seen Trenken himself confirm that he was enjoying this album, and I believe he even stated that it was one of their best albums since the late 80's. So what if he doesn't think Ged's voice is holding up? Big deal. There are in fact, obvious trolls on message boards. I remember seeing them come out in flocks during the S&A release...but not everyone who simply doesn't love every second of CA should be considered a 'troll'. That's an unfair assessment in my eyes. As Rush fans, I'd think we are better than that IMO. No you haven't, called anyone an @sswhole but MerelySpace did! So if you want to stick your neck out for him go right ahead! I'm not sure I understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A troll is basically just an actuall @sshole in general to others just to make them angry. Now, where I don't actually agree with what some people say, I will get into a debate with people. But it's not like I'm going to accuse them of being a troll. That's kind of jumping the gun there. Debates are actually kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted." While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families." While many webmasters and forum administrators consider trolls a scourge on their sites, some websites welcome them. Trolls feed off the reactions of their victims because "their agenda is to take delight in causing trouble". Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
