ExThaNemesis 09/13/11 10:04:00 PM #3:	On one hand it's nice to be able to say "that dude is trolling" and have the majority of people understand you. But then it's so annoying to hear it used incorrectly. I just feel that if you don't normally use internet lingo, you should at least verse yourself in it properly before you start throwing it around recklessly. -- "It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody." <cite>ExThaNemesis posted [p:333959] in I really h...

Mer_Mer_Yes_Mer 09/13/11 10:06:00 PM #4:	It's not even things like that. The way people use it these days, it's as if any time a person gets annoyed, angry, or upset about something, people will say they "got trolled." Maybe that's just a local phenomenon, but it's something I see/hear all the time and it's **ing annoying. If I walk up to some random dude and be like "hey you're ugly and fat as !" and run away, I'm not "trolling" him, I'm just being a ing dick. if I wash my car, and then my cat jumps on the hood and tracks her muddy pawprints all over it, my cat is not "trolling" me.

You can't really troll someone with an action. The crucial element that makes it "trolling" is that what you're saying has to be entirely insincere and only done for the reaction.

"convincing people you're sincere" is a crucial element to it imo. Then your definition of trolling is different from mine.

foolmor0n 09/13/11 10:28:00 PM #39:	I think the key to trolling is that your victim gets mad at an "imaginary" target that isn't yourself. So if I go up to some guy and punch him in the face, he is mad at me, the guy attached to the hand that hit him in the face. He might be pissed, but that was not trolling. But if I have an argument with someone and I just start saying inflammatory things I don't believe, then the guy will get mad not at me, but the imaginary persona I created that believes this ridiculous stuff. Another distinction is that if you can't remove the hate from yourself by saying "I'm just trolling" then it's not trolling. I can't punch a guy in the face and say "I'm just trolling" and then we're all good. But I CAN say a bunch of fake stuff to piss someone off then later say "I'm just trolling" and he will go "oh ok". -- _foolmo_ 'I love you so much' - SineNomine <cite>foolmor0n posted [p:333995] in I really h...

Psycho_Kenshin 09/13/11 10:28:00 PM #40:	I'll agree, I especially find it weird when trolling is used in non internet contexts. Like when somebody says a gamemaker is trolling with a hard boss, or a film maker is trolling with a plot twist, etc etc. But since these guys weren't actually directing games and movies with angering the internet in mind, I don't think trolling makes sense in these contexts, or maybe I'm just trollin'. -- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- <cite>Psycho_Kenshin posted [p:333996] in I really h...

redrocket 09/13/11 10:31:00 PM #46:	Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness. However, trolling statements are never true or are ever meant to be construed as such. Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value. "Trolling" isn't simply "harmful statements". Intentionally insulting/libelous statements are "flaming". This is the definition I live by. -- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie.
