UCKI has a Troll!

It’s said in the blogging world that you’re not famous until you have a troll. Well, UnofficialCKI isn’t a blog, but it sure does have a troll. Although, I’m still torn as to whether she’s a troll or just delusional. She might be both.

For the sake of this post, let’s call her “Stacey” (after all, that is her name). Let’s pretend like she has a blog and a website… because she does. &#091Please note, I’m not responsible for any seizures or neuroses caused by clicking on the website link.&#093 Now, Stacey has been terrorizing the UCKI forums since the beginning, and I’ve not mentioned anything here about it because she was pretty well taken care of in the forums for some of the off-the-wall things that she’s said. However, if you check the post on her blog from 7/17 you’ll see that she decides to blame UCKI for her getting her head bit off in the forums when she spouts nonsense. I take issue with this, because I think she’s deserved every snapping-at she’s gotten.

You see, UCKI is not a place where we treat every idea and opinion the same way. Those places are stupid. We treat them fairly, I think, but you’ve got to keep in mind that bad ideas don’t deserve the same sort of response as good ones… and, the fact of the matter is, Stacey’s posts are almost exclusively drivel.

If we start with the off-topic War Discussion you’ll see that Stacey (sec4582) loves to mention classes that she’s taken and degrees that she has as evidence that she’s correct. Heh. On the third page you see where she made a random guess (and an incorrect one) about something that took roughly 30 seconds to google. She’s also very fond of repeating what previous people have said.

In the thread on the ICON HoD, she manages to play the role of finger-shaking ideologue and chastises the site for finding the negative side of CKI. Darn us! On the second page she returns to her old tricks of appealing to her own authority on an issue. “i’m going for a masters, yes a masters, in public administration, so i think i should know just a little bit about that.” What a coincidence, I think she should know a little bit about it too… I just wish she’d show it.

You can also check out several different threads in the General CKI Discussion category for more of her work.

You see, she really doesn’t have a clue. Her points are clearly thrown together based on the fact that she “knows” she’s god’s gift to CKI, not based on facts, then she complains when people shoot her down. Also interesting is the fact that she seems to be incapable of spelling just about anything correctly. That doesn’t, of course, make her points any less valid, but it doesn’t help make her look any better. She was one of my LTGs back when I was KC governor and from that experience, I’ll just say that this sort of posting behavior doesn’t surprise me.
