hey Mod,
how come you tolerate this type of post blatantly created by a troll account to make fun of another user,
- Cuz they're not here 24/7pango
- Probably because said user was making fun of themselves first?monospaced

I leave you guys a couple of days and the QBN is in flames. Let's take care of our quality balloon network!

It's actually very sad that a grown up adult take the time to make such innocent thing on the internet to troll other grown up adults. That person must be very alone and sad.
And I know I'm feeding it by saying this.
- too much, ha ha, pretty soon, boo hoo.Gnash

About QBN being a ''design community'' and about people posting ''design related'' stuff.
That thing has been addressed in my mind a long time ago; I don't really care if people post design related stuff or not, QBN is a community of people involved in design in their lifes and they come here to have fun and communicate with other people from everywhere about any topics they want, it goes from a cat picture to sharing an important life event like having a baby or a dying parent.. and sometimes we talk about design; thats the core wire that relates us. What we do around it is what we are and want.
A 'design only' forum would be very boring to me. I like QBN the way it is, I just hate the trolls.
But trolls are part of the Internet, we can't get rid of people enjoying the fact they are anonymous and can fill the void in their life by making people reacting to their actions. Those people are often lonely and sad.

- lol, @ mono. are you ever capable of seeing other perspectives besides politically correct narratives?yurimon
- do you know how stupid you sound?monospaced
- I like how the non adults have other points of view around here and those who feel facts are rapey or cant counter facts are the adults.yurimon
- mono its pretty clear that you dont have a tolerance for things that might be true if it doesnt fit a narrative you already hold in your head. any presentationyurimon
- of facts is trolling, or pick a word you use to justify ignorance or avoidance. you demonstrate this time n time again.yurimon
- pushing an agenda relentlessly is trolling in my book, specially if you do it everywhere even being off-topic.ernexbcn
- not really the same. I dont post the same pic or video. how do explain the donald trump hate thread or threads with specific topic. are they pushing and agenda?yurimon
- only problem i have is mono displaying emotional fits and acting like its my fault for his emotional disturbance. If you can find a better way to communicate toyurimon
- him on how to frame a proper argument or challenging ideas, facts in a civil matter, that would improve the flow of information or discussion.yurimon
- I'm sensing some anger here.CyBrainX

- Speaking of thread hijacking.Continuity

- I scrolled down past all the Yurimon diarrhea comments so I can just applaud Bennn: I echo everything you said!chukkaphob
- And I'd like to add: QBN is an inspiration as well -- all and any content (minus the troll BS) can inspire us to become better creatives.chukkaphob
- I almost wish yurimon pulls a drake and reveals himself to be a former QBN'r who's pulled a spectacular 3 year trolling session.

- Without sounding like a twat, I see what Yuri is on about, but I find it more a clash of personalities rather than it being someones faultIanbolton
- Why do I feel obliged to chip in here? I find Yuri quite patronising with the way he expresses his views, which gets on my nerves.Ianbolton
- But usually just keep my gob shut. Where as Mono rightly speaks his mind.Ianbolton
- It's an open forum, and I know Yuri seriously believes a lot of the stuff he says, so that's not specifically trolling. Is it?Ianbolton
- I'm not attached to any specific view. as new information is discovered and as with reasoning things are proven wrong, i will change my mindyurimon
- i think you are right with the personality aspect, i can see the direct approach a bit nerving. call me greg, yurimon is my username makes it more personalyurimon

Some users here feel marginalized or picked on. Often times their argument is that people won't "accept" or be "tolerant" of their views. I don't understand the relentless attempt at trying to make people see your side or convince them that they are wrong. My dudes, this is a design forum. It's full artists! Made up of Gen X and Millennials from mostly progressive areas of the U.S and a lot of foreigners or ex-pats living abroad. I think it's safe to assume that a vast majority of the users have a more liberal/progressive political leaning, with many libertarians and a small portion having a conservative/right leaning political view. So here is a concept. WHO THE FUCK CARES!?
Get over yourself, stop trying to convince people they are wrong or that you have the proper way of thinking on the matter! In other words GROW UP.
If you can't see this and continue to push your views then you are asking for a headache and are likely just an asshole. There are so many cool things about this site, I feel privileged to be a part of it. I see it as, I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me. If I see something I disagree with I just move on. I think 90 percent of users operate like this. They don't get involved in the bickering. who has time for that anyway?
My excuse is I'm on a boring WebEx meeting all morning.

There's a lovely Turkish lady in the post office I go to regularly.
A couple of weeks ago she exclaimed brightly that she thought I was in an advertising campaign for a well known cellphone retailer here in the UK, Carphone Warehouse. A bit confused by this, I had to sadly admit it wasn't me.
I've just watched TV with ads for the first time in a while and seen who she means.
Fucking Keith lemon.

I'll post this here again because it's so handy. If you need a font, paste this in to google. I still use it regularly with great success, just used it to find Brandon Grotesque....

Hope no objections writing in here!
Stressed out,
15 years in film vfx, worked my way up to my dream position from tea boy. Prior to that I was written off at school/ family for being an idiot, when just servilely dyslexic.Climbing up the ladder the hardest way possible, teaching myself nightly, 17 hours, poverty - worst clients, best clients, great teams (3 Oscar winning teams) ... not so great teams (shouldn't say).
Number blind and "don't read so good" but I taught myself coding, software packages.
Just been offered the position to the job I always wanted but... I have to past a coding test and its is the most anti-dyslexic layout. Can't read or make sense of it for a dime!Balls!
That and GitS looks white washed rubbish!- awe dude, be honest with them!monospaced
- Thanks @monospaced - writing that email now!mugwart
- my twin brother, who's incredibly brilliant, also suffered (suffers) from dyslexia growing up and people thought he was slow. he's not, he just does things diffmonospaced
- Wouldn't say I'm brilliant but yeah you suffer it. Tell it to other people though!! Hey ho I'll sit it for a laugh and give it all I have. Sorry for the moan!mugwart
- yeah man - surely they will hire you if they like you/your work. if not fuck em.fadein11
- sounds like you deserve the best - good luck.fadein11
- jeez dude be happy you don't suffer from laziness and low ambitiondeathboy
- No worries bro. Just be straightforward with them and it'll be fine.garbage
- Thanks all sorry to moan!mugwart
- Moan away this is the blog and we cool in here. ;) good luck!sea_sea
- Be up front with them - your abilities should be all that's important, not some oblivious test. These days lots of peeps appreciate dyslexia often = talentdetritus
- Ghost In The Shell? - do tell? Srsly cant you get them to take into account your dyslexia. dont you have to declare it. its a legitimate 'disability'trooperbill

- Coding tests are largely BS, unfortunately. No one writes sorting algo's in real life except for google and shit. Yet, that's what most of them are.section_014
