Internet Troll
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

*****

A guy who says offensive things and decides whether he was joking based on the reaction of people around him.
Watch out, Susie! That guy is Schrödinger's Douchebag, he’ll trap you in a thought-experiment without your consent!

*****
Internet Troll
A person who posts remarks or comments onto internet forums or message boards in an attempt to get someone to comment negatively to it and to redirect attention onto himself. Usually, these remarks are controversial, stupid, off-topic, inflaming, illogical, or childish.

Maybe even name-calling and defamation.
Quote:

Sometimes, the comments are enough to enrage the people in the forum to want to respond back with their own negative remarks which starts a flame war and changes the topic and attention of the discussion.

*****
Internet Troll
A person whose sole purpose in life is to seek out people to argue with on the internet over extremely trivial issues. Such arguments can happen on blogs, Facebook, Myspace and a host of others.

Not since I've paid attention.

If you haven't figured it out by now why I don't blast Conservatives on a daily basis is because I always knew that they were shit.

The Democrats had me fooled for a very long time.



As for the "education" part, you put far too much value on a worthless piece of paper. Aside from the 10 or so percent of people who go to college that are among the brightest in the nation and/or already have the right contacts to become something once they get out, the rest of them aren't much better off than those with high school degrees. Arguably worse off because of all of that lifelong debt that they'll never pay off.

Many of the most successful and powerful people in the country never even got a degree. For a majority of the people who go to college, it's just a 2 to 4 year continuation of the conformity camps that the state pays the first 12 years for.

FIFY.


I believe I have never advocated or been in favor of todays college structure. NO ONE should ever have to take 400 overpriced courses just to get a basic degree.

EDUCATION is about >>>>>> BEING WELL-READ. <<<<<<<< Being able to separate out well rounded facts from fiction EVEN WHEN BIAS IS INVOLVED. Not just writing off all of media because you are too lazy to digest anything heavier than a comic strip.

That's like saying that if you criticize Trump to a roomfull of Trump supporters, then YOU'RE the troll.

So, are you?

Hey, I'm not responsible for your outsized, hysterical, emotional reactions to calmly stated facts. I mean, hell, aside from that fact that you've doubled (tripled, quadrupled, and more...) down on this whole "genocide the world" notion, just look at the number of violent emoticons that you use.

Mental health issue there, TWITCHY? (<< Now THAT was trolling.)

AFA the military is concerned, the military is a policy tool, misused and abused by neocons and chickenhawks in Washington DC.

Well you sure a shit bring it up all the Goddamned time as if it's some sort of right of passage.

You and your anti-Trump buddies around here don't come off as well read. Most of you can hardly string an English sentence together most days and your "thoughts" consist of little more than news headlines. And speaking of Comic Strips, Ted's brain thinks in political cartoons since he's the least literate of the bunch here.

If I were running any of the colleges any of you went to, I would be ashamed that you were all graduates from them.

But then again, it's not as if we didn't already know that the bar for college these days is abysmally low.

What an absolute waste of money.

Nilbog believes that you can't be well read if you don't go into lifelong debt paying somebody to force you to read books at college.


I'll take that to mean that the last time Nilbog read a book was at least over 10 years ago now.

How sad.

Yep! Bringing ACTUAL INFORMATION to the board! How dastardly! And so typical!

Is that the worst you can say? At least I don't lie and defame, or get all hostile and twisted, like some people.

LINKS OR IT HASN'T HAPPENED.

Yanno, sadly, all I was looking for was a reasonable discusion about American policies. It used to be you could get that around here. There were all types ... real woo-woo conspiracy theorists like PN, and staunch way-out-there libertarians like SARGEX and military people like FINN and (prolly) CIA peple like GEEZER and people who did some real out of the box thinking like DREAMTROVE and BYTE, and typical liberals. But apparently some people have become so invested and emotional about their PsOV that a decent conversation can't be had anymore. It's turned into an all-out brawl.

It doesn't have to be this way. All people need to do is chill.

I nominate THUGR as an internet troll.

He -literally- posts nothing except variations of "Russian troll".

Now, THAT'S dedicated trolling!

Thank you I accept. We both realize though it's you Polish Russian collaborator SYGNYM that is the troll. The proof is in the fact that you post nothing but lies and deceptive spin.

Well, seeing as I'm not Russian, ALL of your posts are lies, THUGR. I, OTOH, do manage to post facts.

So, there we have it: THUGR is a self-admitted internet troll. I'm just going to ignore him from now on because, according to internet wisdom, the best way to deal with trolls is

DON'T FEED THE TROLL
