Trolls trolling trolls. Trollish troll is trollish.

Posted 01-16-2011 at 02:15 PM by NVIT
I'm not mad, just furious and enraged. So what I want to know is, why all of sudden (real time speaking, not internet time), the internet is so obsessed with trolling? Let's see this from the beginning:

Trolling is defined on several sites:

Quote:
1. troll
Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

2. trolling
Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards. When done in a moderated internet community, this can result in banning. When done to uptight people such as fundies, this can result in hilarity.
Urban Dictionary

Quote:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]
Wikipedia

Quote:
A Troll, most commonly encountered on the internet, is any person who purposely causes controversy in a web community (by posting offensive and crude comments or provides advice) and disrupts shit for his own amusement to prove how extremely corrupt our society is.
Encyclopedia Dramatica


Quote:
A troll is someone who will state something only with the intention of stirring up controversy.
Know Your Meme

Basically, trolling is internet schadenfreude. Thus it ranks somewhere between toilet humour and dead baby humour in the list of 'stupid sources of lulz'.

But as stupid as trolling is, it's the methods of trolling that are annoyingly depressing.

Common troll responses to anything range from tl;dr to 600 word essays.

Here are some common responses trolls use to dissent intelligence or casual discussion:

Quote:
Too long; didn't read. (Commonly abbreviated to tl;dr.
Quote:
Cool story, bro. (Sometimes using the macro version)
Spoiler:
Quote:
O rly? (Sometimes using the macro version)
Spoiler:
Quote:
OP is fag. (Sometimes replacing the OP with 'above poster' and the like.)
Quote:
U mad? (Sometimes using the macro version)
Spoiler:
Quote:


These responses are all one-liners. Thus these are usually the mark of an ADHD-addled troll.

Other trolls prefer a longer method of trolling. These trolls will post long or relatively long messages containing controversial claims. For example, BE's own Beefheart often intersperses his posts with sexist, racist, elitist, and illogical bullshit (to his credit though, he does sometimes use his noggin' for thinking and useful discussion).

The point of all this being that I'm sick of these so called trolls and their behaviour.

If you can resist the urge to comment with troll-like responses and are a troll, please try explaining why you do what you do. Other users are free to comment as they wish.

I'm not reading the spoilers since they are tl;dr

Your looking too far into this(aka you've been trolled)
Trolling is becoming ever more apparent due to idiotic behaviour becoming more apparent. There once was a line between someone trolling and someone being retarded but now there is just a blurry picture of a particular face and grin.

Know'a days you say something stupid and respond
"I'm just trolling" or "It was for the lulz xD"

Or people automatically conlcude your trolling by saying "Stop trolling"(girlish voice) or "Troll" accompanied by a stupid smiley face.

I just opened your spoilers and you forgot another response.
ikr?(I know right?) It can melt peoples brains as they have no clue whether you're serious or not xD.

You have two choices, the red pill (continue being butthurt about peoples behaviour), or thr blue pill (Go with the flow, and laugh your way to insanity)

XD<<<<<<<<<< n.b. I fucking hate that face.

I'm more meta-trolled than really trolled. Either way, I'm already insane, just not unrefined. It saddens me that internet nihilism will forever be shown by that stupid coolface pic along with people trying to get their kicks from others people misery. It's the goddamn 21st century and 202 decennial. People should be getting smarter and trying to be working for that utopia they always wanted.

nvit, the human race was getting smarter, for a while, but it seems that over the past 30-40 years we have been slowly devolving and continue to do so.

Most of these "trolls" aren't even trolls, they're just your average dumb kids that hop on a bandwagon because they think its "kewl".

There are only a small handful of people here who can troll successful and have done in the past, the rest who claim to be a troll just because they can drop one liners like "tl:dr", "cool story, bro" and hide out in some lame Troll FC are are try hards at best and couldn't troll a half intelligent person to save their lives. These are the people you don't get mad at, but instead laugh at.

Its a trend, it will pass by like shutter shades.

lol. God, I forgot about Woo. I'd have to get him to hate me first. Same for tsu.

Nah, I wouldn't really have to because I rarely, if ever, respond to obvious troll-like comments and even if I did it's likely to only be once. ..

You never get bored from your long and constructive political discussions, haven't you noticed that they all end the same way?

Yea, most of them do. Religion, politics, human nature, ect.

1.) Nobody is willing to compromise or see the other points of view. All topics deteriorate into a tl;dr flame war. Trolls invade. /thread
2.) Everyone agrees to disagree. Serious discussion slows. Trolls invade. /thread
3.) Despite sharp differences, everybody realizes there's something fundamentally wrong either with exact policies or the more abstract operating priniples in the way the system functions and something needs to be done. How? Where do we go from here? Trolls invade. GTFO.

I'm shooting for #3 and from real life experience that's usually what I end up getting out of people. If you're not overtly abrasive or insulting, most people will remain calm and reasonable even in the face of harsh ideological criticism.

You'll never give up on your/Chomsky's views and I'll never give up on mine cuz they represent my personality and my traits. So, all those threads are doomed to begin with.
