good ol wiki
"Trolling" redirects here. For other uses, see Troll (disambiguation).
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2]extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into anemotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[5][6]

Internet Troll
A person whose sole purpose in life is to seek out people to argue with on the internet over extremely trivial issues.
I have seen it a lot.Sometimes using a smoke screen to start the topic.

I think it's the deliberate part that we don't have.

oh you get them, they either get banned from their first posts or are banned later one when a troll rears his head. I was a mod. I remember that stuff.

Isn't that what you do sometimes?
I mean, don't we all have our moments in the heat of the night?
Even moderators are not immune to this.

no a troll stirs things up, never gives his opinion. takes illogical positions that logically no one would ever take.
I cant name the member but that member whom wasn't allowed in the science forum anymore was to me a troll.

So let me get this straight. You're basically saying one can not lose his salvation.

I'm thinking it shows up in the guest forum thingy more than anywhere else.
The Foyer, yeah that's it.

Isn't derailing everyone's threads a form of trolling?

I'm pretty laidback when it comes to discussions, but on ones I feel especially strongly on I have to watch myself. Some subjects I will purposely distance myself from when they come up.

I'm glad to see someone understands.
Not you of course, but someone.

no, I have to be honest place you and few others on ignore for a few days or a month rather then incessantly debate. I could have trolled you and those that were on that list. ie I know what your buttons are. so if you talking about guns and pacifism. I can troll that thread in a manner that would serve no good reason then other to irritate you. ie you wouldn't be for calling the cops. when you clearly say we can but we cant be defending yourselves. I have posted that towards you but it was in a manner of being an inconsistent position.

everyone has that button. I have my "ptsd" triggers that aren't abled to be triggered here without posting audible sounds of fireworks that have the canon on them or the other trigger. which that latter one, no mod would allow.
