Trolls

2. One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

Shrek!
:D

I'm not into name calling.

I haven't really thought about what the Profile would be.
I do think one would have to split the definition, between political and non-p though.

I'm much more harsh when talking about politicians.
 
Trolls make the internets go round

Spike is the perfect definition of a troll

and a fatter happier troll may you never see
 
Val has mutated into a troll. spike is definitely a parrot who eggs on trolling behavior. Just picture a parrot with eggs grasped in its claws swooping down parroting and letting go of eggs on trolls.
 
Oh lord Goth. Are you saying you believe spike actually does a good job of defending himself?



...goth, was 9/11 an inside job?

I usually just try to see if there's any substance in a troll post, separate it out, address it....and then just label the trolling for what it is. I don't know how that eggs on the trolls but I liked your imagery anyway. :thumbup:
 
/scrolls through this thread
//LOLs
/// LOLs again because some of the members have no idea why she's LOLing.
:rofl: :lol2:
 
Trolls are also those who do drive-by posts and then never come back to debate the subject matter. Usually, the subject is one of great contention and their post is usually meant to inflame the other members. They then sit back and watch that which they hath wrought without further comment.
 
What is "Trolling"?

Trolling is a kind of prank and a lost art form, full of failed attempts and people who don't even know what trolling is.

Merely being unpleasant is not trolling. Serial killers, dentists, IRS auditors, and so on are not trolls. Trolls do what they do to produce a reaction, not to be unpleasant for its own sake. Moreover, showing a disagreeing opinion with another party is not troll, no matter how much that other party tries to claim you're trolling. Being stupid or laughed at because of your own nature also is not trolling.

:microwav:

​
The repeated attempt to label someone a troll is a weak attempt to devalue the thoughts of those who put a wrench in your own fragile reality.
