Its a word use by people who like to define themself as serious hardcore onliners.
Mostly the people who use it are the type of people who spend every minute of the day online from the time they get up, until they go back to bed and do little else.

Correct.

Dear Spiritedsub2, even if I do not dare to qualify ChainTee yet, this sentence is exactly the kind of things you can expect from a troll as "opening fire".

Observe how he attacks immediately everybody who has used, is using or will use, the word "troll" in this thread, telling that:
- They are not really hardcore onliners, as they only "like to define themselves as".
- They have no life and do nothing useful.
- They spend all their time online.

So, from a general question (like yours) he makes a general attack to many people at the same time, which are reading this thread.

The obvious intention is to "open fire", to get answers as offensive as possible, to start the fights.

Observe his reaction in the rest of the thread to get more examples.

Best regards.


Well, in the spirit of debate, what you've just done here is a personal attack of sorts. What he did was a generalization. Didn't we just have a go-round recently about how we are allowed to talk in generalities if we want to throw around our opinions, but not to pinpoint anyone specific on the boards? Yet, you've essentially just called him, this specific poster, a troll.

Status: offline 		From The Jargonfile:

troll /v.,n./ [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it.

Some people claim that the troll is properly a narrower category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial.

Hi everyone!

For the record, I prefer my mice laid out like a bear skin rug.

Ha. You said welcome aboard.. like a boat and her name is Rho like.. row, row, row your boat..

oh.. um..

okay.. maybe that was only funny in my own head.

So, this is a thread about feeding trolls and Rho introduces him/herself.. does that mean s/he's a troll and we're supposed to feed or not? I'm so confused!



Hi Rho. I try not to feed trolls but I have learned the rules so well that I break them like an artist on the very, very rare occasions that iTOS chum into the water so I doubt we'll be having much in the way of golden contact. I'm really good at the truble part of my name. Oh, you probably know all that already though.

Um. Okay. Bi bi now.

Trolls > dead mice > Rho = acceptable thread drift :)

I always thought it was a person who intentionally took an inflammatory rhetorical stance just to elicit a strong reaction. i.e. Going to a gun control forum and posting links to the YouTube video on "How to Be a Cereal Killer". (BTW, that was a cute one of a fellow useing boxes of corn flakes for rifle targets)

Maybe. Does not change my point, though.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I love when the long time posters link older threads like this. It's like finding an easter egg when you weren't even looking. I've been reading through it, and it's comedy gold! And it led me to the link for the tap tap tap thread. Bonus!!

FF, you rock!
