People call me a troll constantly, but all I do is post how I honestly feel about issues. I've always thought of trolling as acting a certain way for the purpose of making people angry. But all I do is be myself and post my honest opinions about things, and if that's just so happens to make a certain subset of people frothing-at-the-mouth, hand wringingly angry, how is that my problem? Why would I pretend to be someone I'm not to avoid offending some people's delicate sensibilities?

maybe people call you a troll to avoid having to admit people like you actually exist for real.

like... maybe you are a living contradiction to somebody's argument

You do tend to attack people.
You can oppose someone without attacking them.

I only attack people in retaliation to being attacked first, or if the person has a history of attacking me in every topic I post i.e. Admiral, GregShmedley

Is trolling a function of content or a function of intent?

Intent, I believe.

"Troll" is the most overused word on this site. Posting an opinion that someone doesn't agree with will likely get you called a troll. People here just can't handle different views.

They aren't worth it. Don't let them get under your skin.
