Its a sneaky emphamism for internet censorship and thought crimes.



Euphamised in politically correct language to disguise what the real agendas and real problems happen to be.

Consider:

These words:

Totalitarian state / Nanny state
Fascist government* / Government aid and bail outs.
Enemies to our profits / terrorists.
Allies to our profits / freedom fighters
Revenue/Speed cameras / safety cameras
Thought crime / internet trolls
Thought crime / malicious internet communication.
Re-education / torture
Emergency powers / enably act.

So rather than simply ignore such trolls like we did in the past we have to arrest them and 're-educate' them.

IMO Trolling the fine art of taking the piss out of someone with out being malicious.
It was winding someone up to the extent they would flip the fuck out.

Curse the media for portraying it as bullying, harrassing etc etc.

And because that pisses me off, does that mean i have been trolled by the media?

The media thinks it is someone with malicious intent, in reality it is a person taking the piss, typing something they do not actually believe to invoke a response.

What annoys me is when people think they're being the ultimate troll when they just annoyed someone by fooling them with a stupid question or just by calling them a cunt...

Like CaNsA said: It's when you take the piss or lead someone on without actually being malicious or obvious.

The way it's going, I don't know what to make of it.

Forum trolling is simple, it's piss-taking banter.

Social media trolling I see as extreme free speech.

Offended by a burning poppy? Good. Be offended.

Must admit I'm not keen on silly trolling in the middle of a decent discussion, because that just shows the lack of intellect of the person doing it.

But any copper that drags somebody from their home for a twatter comment seriously deserves to get killed by a nutter with a hand grenade.

See what I did thar?

Ground Rules

Are you?
DO NOT USE CAPS LOCK, EXCEPT IN A CONDESCENDING MANNER TO MOCK THEIR USE OF CAPS LOCK.
Always strive to use perfect (or nearly perfect) grammar and spelling.
Do not directly insult them or appear angry, as this gives them the impression that they're gaining ground. (Note that a skilled troll can sometimes use this to their advantage with a sort of bait-and-switch maneuver.)
Tips

While the ground rules are important, here are a few simple ways to make yourself seem more intelligent.
Use '--' and ';' correctly, so as to make yourself seem more intelligent.
Base trolls on actual situations; Use facts to build up a lie.
To rebut an argument, break their post down into quotes, and rebut them sentence-by-sentence.
Use lists, ASCII diagrams, images (if allowed), etc to illustrate your point
Point out every logical fallacy you can find in their argument (e.g. circular logic, naturalistic fallacy). A list of logical fallacies can be found in Wikipedia
Point out the other person's bad grammar and/or spelling in a condescending manner at the end of your post.
Use a thesaurus to find big words to use in your sentences, so it looks like you have a larger vocabulary and are therefor more intelligent. BEWARE: Make sure you use proper context! For example, "shack" and "mansion" are synonyms for "house", but obviously have different connotations.
Cite your sources, preferably in MLA format, at the bottom of your posts. You may also try using Chicago style citations to backup individual statements.

Prolonged Arguments

Doin it right.
The longer you debate, the more opportunities will become available to you. Try to take advantage of all of these, as it will cause your opponent to RAAAAAAAGE.
No doubt your opponent will have 'moved the goalposts' (another logical fallacy, note this as well), and as a result there may be contradictions between their posts. Point out these contradictions.
If they resort to using abstract metaphors, apply these metaphors to something else, so as to make both the metaphor and the argument behind the metaphor seem useless.
EXAMPLE: "The universe is like a book, and God is like an author" -> "Who's the editor? How do we know that Yehova and the universe are not the book and Thor is the author?"
Fragment your sentences. A moderate amount. To emphasize an argument or point.
Use quotes--lots of quotes. Preferably from famous people. Better yet, quote-mine anyone that they quote or cite for something that aids your argument.

Getting yourself out of a pickle

Well, it is really.
It is inevitable that, eventually, you will say/do something stupid. Here are some things that you should avoid, and ways to avoid them.
Increasingly long, drawn-out discussions on theoreticals. This becomes especially common when debating theists, as you'll somehow end up arguing about things *within* Christianity/Islam/etc, as opposed to whether or not Christianity/Islam/etc (or whatever religion/philosophy you're debating against) is actually true. In these instances, when in doubt, say "prove it".
If you find yourself lacking understanding of the subject (or part of the subject), wiki it.
If you run out of material or can't think, use Google to find other people who have argued on the same subject, and steal their arguments shamelessly. Just make sure they don't contradict anything that you've said.
Now, taking this advice to heart, TROLL! DO IT FGT!
