I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately

Is this a recent trend that I haven't yet noticed, or has this being going on since before rap/hip-hop signaled the end of human advancement?  Why haven't manufacturers addressed the tax implications to the audiophile market?  I've yet to notice that they have.

If you recognize what I'm parodying, then please entertain us by coming up with your own.

Thank you very much!

No, I will pass on this form of entertainment.

Remember the good-ole days when mostly intelligent discourse was the norm on this forum? Now, silliness and attention seeking is all too prevalent…tisk, tisk.

Have members run out of serious high-end audio topics to talk about? Perhaps, but that does not mean we should submit to fishing and senseless posts.

Trolling continues to exist on this forum because people respond and engage in it (yes, embarrassingly, I stooped and responded once, so guilty as charged).

Many veteran forum members are unremittingly fueling the fire and actually encouraging it – you know who you are. Stop it.

Sure, some trolling is funny now and then and perhaps even healthy for the online community, but taken too far, playtime and domination trolling becomes tiring and monotonous.

What is the best way to end this? Please do not feed the trolls! If we ignore them and do not respond to their posts they will get it and stop.

This post was inspired by comments said in the British parliament discussion of banning Donald Trump from entering Great Britain.  One of the members stated, to paraphrase,  that Trump shouldn't be banished, but as a buffon he should be ridiculed.

I think Taters and A'gon are working hand in hand. They let him to post trolling type topics onto the forum which then creates more traffic and posts to the forum. What others have deemed click bait.
