I don't know. I hope not. 
We all get older, and we move on.
Ive never been a troll, but I suppose I did some minor trolling a couple of years ago. Im quite happy that I done it, and got a laugh out of it. Now that Ive done it though, I dont really feel the need to continue doing it.
I was quite bored a couple of years ago. There wasnt really too much going on in my life. A lot has changed for the better for me in the last couple of years, and it would feel a bit pathetic being cruel to people who may have serious issues, or bad lives.
[suspicious]I don't think that Iamnotaparakeet or Leejosepho would agree.[/suspicious] 
I think this is the new improved reality version of Butterflies and her place in I2 history. What would want her to reinvent history and appear more introspective and modest...and perhaps human, I could not guess at.
Ive never been a troll.
OK. Sure. The trying to get naked pictures off the Wood's kid and the facebook sites and whatever for the Parakeet guy, we will pretend never occurred because it works better for Butterflies, right? Better version of history if that never, ever happened and if it did Butterflies was not there?
What about callouts? you did them and won every one of them you went on until you came to the decision that they were not for you because of a moment of true introspection based on a moral crisis?
Personally, I see them as no more than an ego trip for certain people.
I even have to admit. I fell into that trap myself. I actually thought I was good at them, because I kept winning 
I eventually got into one, and I was so cringemakingly awful and petty that I should have been roundly condemned 
A few folk rightly stood up against me, but enough backed me, that I didn't "lose." It was obvious to me then. I "won" because I was more popular than that person.
There is no honour in that.
.
I have spoken privately to a lot of people here, and Les appears to be anything but popular. Yet, he wins all the callouts.....In the past, I feel that a small group of people (I wont mention names) have controlled the peanut gallery. Popularity amongst that group of 3-5 people is far more important than overall popularity, when it comes to "winning."
....., mostly too disinterested to even do the necessary research, deciding the "winner."
......If one of my friends was arguing, I would vote for my friend.
Having an anonymous vote would certainly be fairer than having a few people control the peanut gallery. However, all it would achieve is to turn callouts into a true popularity contest, as opposed to a certain group of a few people deciding the "winner."
the people who can shout loudest, will likely shout against me.
This is one of Butterflies real strengths right here. I love the way she vaguely refers to things. She makes sure that she is painted as a reasonable, modest, victim and that there is an I2 Illuminatii (paraphrased) that she can not name, that is responsible for various evils of I2. In fact I think it was this same crowd that she tried to convince everyone about a year ago that was rapidly killing off I2. The unmentionable unnamed.
But if you read what she has said here, you will find that though she rallies against the "people supporting their friend in a popularity contest" that she would in the same instance, support hers? WTF?
She says that I was winning callouts on basis of popularity of a small collection of people, people that would shout her down, BUT then the next breath says that she was unbeatable at callouts because of her popularity.
She states that people base their support of a position based on a callout without proper research, without clarifying what 'proper research" is (perhaps for example asserting absolutely that my last callout was about whether Iraq was a sexist society when it wasn't? That kind of non-research?) and without anything to suggest that they weren't or even that research was needed
She mentions callouts as an ego trip for certain people but fails again to mention which people it is an ego trip for or how she comes to that speculation. But then again if you see her prattling commentary in the peanut gallery in my callout with Adam you will see she basically misread most of pretty much everything I was doing, saying, motivated by or going to do next.
She tries to associate callouts with honour or lack of it? I dunno, its her story.
I think this new Butterflies is like the old one, personally. It is just one that is trying to sell a different image and history.
I think it is that sprinkling of bullshit and misrepresentation and negativity and hoping something will grow from the fertiliser she has spread.
