Entwhistle Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Are they entirely different entities or different words for the same thing? Is not an argument simply a debate that you are losing and so decide that the other person/persons involved are being argumentative purely to save face? Is not a troll,so called, very often someone who disagrees with you in a debate or argument and so you call him/her a troll as it is perceived as a good means of gaining an upper hand in the debate or argument?

Entwhistle Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 no a troll is NOT purely somebody with a differing viewpoint, a troll is somebody that is out for a reaction, any reaction, whether positive of negative But by your own definition, because you expect a reaction to your post are you not a troll?

DragonofAna Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought it was a rather ugly looking beastie that lived under a bridge and jumped out demanding a billy goat before allowing you to pass. Whoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entwhistle Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I guess that in my opnion a troll, in internet terms, is someone that you allow to "get under your skin" and they continue getting under your skin with the soul purpose of annoying you. But who is at fault there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
