I just don't get it....

So if I decide to have an angry episode where I lash out at someone over the internet to relieve myself, that's trolling?

Or if I wind somebody up by being sarcastic and ****y, to the point where they're issuing death threats to me, that's trolling?
The latter, it is to the point where they make an absolute scene of themselves and rage all over the place, losing all credibility.

Surely that would make both people trolls then? Oh I don't know. I'll just pretend to understand.

Edit: I'm getting confused now, I didn't read your post properly. I'm not a stupid person, honestly. I'm just tired.

Basically, trolls keep their cool throughout, but manage to make the victim rage all over the place.

A regular forum users definition :
A dumbass who makes idiotic posts in message boards newsgroups for the sole purpose of ****ing people off, often lacking in intelligence. Sometimes compared to people who pass you by on the sidewalk then grab you in inappropriate places.
^ he was probably trolled recently when he wrote that :lol:

A trolls definition:
One of many unsung internet heroes who are almost entirely misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, many trolls are actually quite intelligent. Their habitual attacks on forums is usually a result of their awareness of the pretentiousness and excessive self-importance of many forum enthusiasts. As much as people may hate trolls, they are highly effective - their actions bring much of the stupidity of other forum users out into the great wide open.
^ obviously posted by a very infuriating troll

A neutral definition:
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

People just don't know the definition of troll nowadays. They think a troll is someone who disagrees with everyone else, which is bull****.

It's also fun to call someone a troll for the purpose of trolling, it really works ;D
Have you met JohnDoe?
