Operation who now?

I asked first tbf

Hi Rhonda,

Due to the overwhelming success of 'Project Dennis' we have in fact come across some issues we hadn't considered at design stage.

We are now oversubscribed for key positions, projected output is blocking content and product routes for normal operating processes, and frankly other personnel are stopping their own usual roles to watch.

I may have to ask the board to consider a hold for now, can you prepare a position paper for information for Tuesday?

Thanks,

Nile Boggs

Project Lead

shat on trolling

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:29 (six years ago)

saw troll defined in this very context today as "the person in a twitter argument without a blue tick" and thought theres something in that

There was a talk on trolling yesterday xps

I’m adding this tweet by ⁦@bbclaurak⁩ to my talk this evening about (amongst other things) trolling and the internet ‘wild west’. Laura’s employing a common trolling tactic, encouraging a pile-on here. Intentional? Accidental? Either way, it’s a classic bit of trolling. pic.twitter.com/bQ0Glr3E9U

there isn't. not having a tick is the new having a tick, so.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:30 (six years ago)

yes but the attempted definition of trolling as "arguing against the wrong people", any disagreement with a certain protected class is labelled trolling

you see it a good bit

provisional ilx (darraghmac), Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:33 (six years ago)

I think in this instance it could be right but the other dimension is if pissed off people piling back on her after seeing what was happening. While she may not face the consequences today it will add up.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:33 (six years ago)

That was to the Bernal tweet

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:34 (six years ago)

Laura wasn't trolling. I think trolling has to consist of the person trolling deriving some pleasure from it. I don't think Laura K. has had a pleasant day. It was dumb, very telling (~true colours shining through~) and bad overall, but trolling she did not.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:38 (six years ago)

Turning this thread into another UK politics thread is some A+ trolling (not even trolling btw).

pomenitul, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:39 (six years ago)

Ok, now you're just trolling Pom (and I'm not even trolling)

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 September 2019 18:41 (six years ago)

I swear I'm not (really!).

"Laura wasn't trolling. I think trolling has to consist of the person trolling deriving some pleasure from it. I don't think Laura K. has had a pleasant day."

True. But I wonder if enabling some of her followers -- who are trolls in the old sense of deriving pleasure -- is in effect trolling. That lack of responsibility in the public online space. It's where the meaning could've changed.

Also true, I'll concede this. And I do think LK enjoyed some glee in seeing the circus commence; the dismal 'bbc press room news floor official twitter' notepad tweet being the icing on the cake for her.

xp lol Pom, stop trolling will ya!
