What really is trolling ?

[Comrad]

I don't get it, i honestly and whole heartily do not get it. It seems to me that honesty and hatred have become synonyms with each other. It seems as if everyone has become this old grandmother from the 50s who would kill over had she heard a curse word. Or in most cases, the truth. It seems as if you post anything that is remotely drop dead--raw and honest, you will get MODed for it.
Im not suggesting their be NO mods. I have been places at where the mods were some of the main antagonist and even i raised an eye brow. And i have seen post that have been just down right mean and hateful (which are also entertaining, gives me a laugh) which anyone could tell it will be removed--but still posted.

But then again maybe it is only a person personality because i get told i say crazy shit all the fuckin time when in truth...It is only the truth. And when i confront the person(s) who generally "disagrees" with me while in a group settings they eventually admit to really agreeing with me but say "it would have been rude to just say it in such a way". So everyone is supposed to walk around these things.

I define a troll as someone who deliberately posts inflammatory and provocative threads and posts, for the pure purpose of getting a reaction from others, or starting an argument.

The more negative responses and attention that the troll gets, the more pleased the troll is.

I would say the most common topics that trolls choose are:


Race-baiting - the troll makes an off-colour comment (pardon the pun) portraying blacks / non-whites as somehow funny or strange or different.

Straight-acting - the troll tries to stir up animosity and division by stating a preference for masculine gay men.

Bisexuals - the troll tries to alienate them and portray them as duplicitous or not fully loyal, etc.


And what amazes me is that time and time again, JUBbers seem to fall for this and jump in with serious responses while the troll rubs his hands in glee and watches from the sidelines.

The amount of times I've seen these types of threads very rapidly reach the second page is ridiculous.

I never click on them or read them - I just ignore them.

This is EXACTLY what a troll is. It has nothing to do with honestly or bluntness or choice of language. It's all about the poster's intention to anger his/her fellow posters, often with little regard for his/her actual feelings on a topic.

A troll is someone who posts something that you don't agree with and instead of rebutting or ignoring him, you throw a temper tantrum.

Trolling isn't what is said, but how it's said. It's not a differing viewpoint. It's an insistence that this new viewpoint is clearly the right one, and something must be wrong with those who hold the any others. I often picture trolls as people who set up a "test-of-strength" bell-and-hammer carny game, and then taunting everybidy to try to ring the bell. And I picture those who respond to trolls as rubes who apparently don't know (or care) that they're being played.

Trolling is where people make cruel remarks that they KNOW will get people riled up.

Trolling is an outlet for control and sociopathic behavior. It's all a virtual world to them, so it's like playing a video game; there's no real-world consequences. Think Grand Theft Auto; most people would never drive on the sidewalk in real life, but it's funny and entertaining for them to do when it isn't real.

if one is gonna be thinking when writing something,who is gonna think of him as a troll of not,then he needs to learn how to clean his ass with what people think of him hahaha.

people have different personalities, some are very formal and educated,while others,just can't be like that

And some simply enjoy tossing the shit around and watching who gets splattered.

Trolls know exactly what they are doing and they don't give a crap what anybody thinks about them. To them, it's 'fun'.

that's exactly my point,but if you are gonna stop saying something because you must agree with what "some"people think or want to hear,then what's the point of having a threat?,there would be no arguments or discussions with opposite points of view.and if you don't agree with me them i gotta think that you are a troll, and so on,so it comes down to people's personalities,some want to be very PC as if they were god's gift or wiser than any one else in the forum,and so on and so on and so on.

a troll is simply a bully,that enters a specific thread to harass people.that's it.you can't call someone a troll simply because you don't agree with what he's saying and assume that he is doing it to stir conflict and shit like that.so we could say that typically, a threat is frequented by two different kind of personalities, the "trolls" and the goody-goodies.

Trolls hide under bridges...and stuff.

But they also do as what ChickenGuy described.

trolling is whenever someone replies a remark with the sole intention of being offensive

When people post things I don't like,then it's trolling..

 

[Telstra]

I just copy and paste stories that has nothing to do with the threads ........

Not this site tho.

that is it. Has nothing to do with "stating a preference for masculine gay men"

 

[Ram]

I do agree with most of the faggots here. The truth here is that nobody really like trolls... I mean we all hate trolls as much as all gay men like scat. It's a given fact, like the fact that Obama is a racist socialist. Engaging a troll is like explaining bisexuality: it's pointless and you're still wrong. Trolling is like a gay man liking another gay man... it's just not true. Gays only like straight cock. So they say stuff like that to piss us off and we fight all the time with trolls like black people in their communities. They say shit like this to stir our feminine feelings up. That's why I only make a point to only read posts by masculine gay men at JUB... which explains why I don't read any posts at JUB.
