What is Trolling


Recommended Posts

What is the obsession for some on this forum with users who come back with a different username, why does it bother some so much ?

I think some posters have spent too much time on here or become too familiar with peoples posting styles if they recognise these, if it bothers them they should ignore them, if they are banned it is for the moderators to sort out.

Someone recently accused me of having posted under different usernames and I can assure anyone on here I have only ever posted under the username I have now and joined with back in 2003, I'm not that desperate so they were clearly way off the mark !

It isnt exclusive to this forum. Its used, in my opinion as a cheap shot to try to diminish someone elses opinion without having to properly debate. Its like a bullying tac tic. Ive been here a short time and because im considered by some to be a prolific poster (not on here but in general) ive had my opinions belittled by a couple of people based purely on the fact ive posted a lot in a short time but thas my style. If i have something to say and i enjoy the environment then why shouldnt i say it?

A troll is someone who deliberately tries to disrupt a thread, often because they don't like the way it's going, they're probably losing the argument or can't think of a way to retaliate so they just muck it up one way or another.

 

There are rumours that there are even 'government' trolls who try to take down anti-government threads.

Do you have your tin foil hat just in case they are trying to read your brainwaves too?

Serious question.

Not trolling at all...:suspect:
