Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

The Owner of This Site *is* the troll and I have evidence

For the last 8 or nine months, since I've been pursuing this site, I've noticed one troll in particular who kept using the phrase "sore losers and sour grapes" to describe the visitors here. I thought it was an odd figure of speech to come up so frequently.

So, I did a google search of all the posts on this site looking specifically for that phrase. If you do this, you will find that phrase turning up on just about every subforum on thelayoff.com

My thought, at this point, is that the site owner is stirring up anger on all the forums to drive traffic, responses, and ad revenue.

As if that's not enough evidence:

On one particular occasion, when I had engaged this troll in debate, he/she actually made an obscure post referencing the password I had used when I had created an account on this site (an account I never actually used, so clearly this person had access both to my IP address and to the profile I had created with it).

My advise is to stop posting here. Find a different site.

Even if google accounts was the only option ever offered, they have record of your googleID, your ISP, and your IP address. Combined with all the things Google is networked into (ie youtube, etc.) there's a lot of data potentially available there.

........o, maybe the website owner does troll here, but I seriously doubt he/she would be using those words..............

Sore losers and sour grapes do not constitute foul language.

Secondly, I'm almost positive there was a custom account option at some point in the past.

Some flawed arguments stated here. First of all, I'm pretty sure most websites make revenue only if non-derogatory language is used (advertisers don't like that, try looking for google adsense policy). So, maybe the website owner does troll here, but I seriously doubt he/she would be using those words.

Second, I don't see anywhere option to create an account on this site. You can log in with your already existent google account, but not sure why would anyone do that, cause nothing happens when you do. Not needed either for reading or for posting here. And you certainly don’t need a special password.

This thread will be permitted to stay until it's no longer helping ad revenue, I'm sure. Then it will be plucked.

I'm cool, the drinking trope comment was in addition to the sour grape reference. There Is money and manipulation involved in every aspect of life now. That is why the Big Red old-timers are hurt; it is not The Farm as much as it is society. Investigate why comments regarding goyim were removed and discover your answer.

The OP is exactly correct. The site owner has been called on it multiple times.

I wonder if he realizes how easy it would be to build a script that posts the truth to all of his subforums on a regular basis. If he thinks his Captcha would stop it, he's wrong.

The drinking trope is also common.

Interesting that you point out the "drinking trope," but completely neglect to mention the far more common "sore loser with sour grapes" trope in the post I was responding to, or the fact that the post preceding that one in the same chain was from a guy falsely claiming that this site did not have accounts.

Your selective amnesia is suspicious.

/The drinking trope is also common./

Maybe. But not everyone who uses it is "the" troll. Clearly, having started this thread, some of the posts here are eagerly attempting to paint me as the very troll I'm complaining about. That is not the case. It could be that the opposition posts are coming from the site owner. Or it could be that it's impossible for distinguish one poster from another, which I believe is what the owner is counting on.

That is my contention. Once this thread is no longer driving traffic, the owner will delete it, to keep up the ruse that he is interested in maintaining order.

He is not.

Clearly you've crushed your sour grapes and turned them into wine, and are currently drunk beyond the point of intelligibility.

Try harder.

I believe you are just a sore loser with sour grapes. I have never created an account on this page. If you did, maybe you are the troll.

//but...they also do negative trolling, where they try to quiet truth tellers by name calling. //

The reason I don't buy this is because trolling doesn't quiet people. It makes them more vocal. There is a trail of psychological research that proves this.

The surest way to drive clicks on a forum is to say something outrageous, rude, or insulting.

/Go away, troll. This site doesn’t have accounts./

Look in the upper right corner of the screen. See that little link there that says "log-in."?

It should be dawning on you right..... about.... now..... that you're wrong.

Seriously, this site is geared to giving the media and business analysis's insight into a lot of companies that they normally would not have without some insider employee gossip.

Good catch for noticing OP, but IMO, it's not the owner of this site, it's paid trolls. This site is a bastion of truth and exposes companies' misdeeds as well as layoffs they desperately want to hide from the public, so we see "Cheerleader" trolls posting how "Everything is AWESOME! at XYZ Company" and "XYZ is HIRING!!" type stuff.

But...they also do negative trolling, where they try to quiet truth tellers by name calling. This is all part of a much bigger picture, where the true state of the economy is much worse than we are told. Does anyone really believe this is "The Best Economy in America's History" as Trump has stated?

Seriously. If it was, this site wouldn't even exist, nevermind being a beehive of activity. So, what we have is a united effort by large and mid size corporations trying desperately to convince the public, with the help of the media, that "Everything is AWESOME!" when its not.

hmm... while I don't see a ton of the specific "sore losers and sour grapes" the two terms separately are all over this site. Sour grapes in particular. I see posts with that phrase dating back 5 years or more, and the tone of the troll is identical....
