At least that's how I use the word, it's not that I think the person is trolling, but I would call them a troll stating that I think their argument is so dumb that it must be a troll. I hope that kind of made sense, although I could altogether be wrong in my inference. | ||

Man that put a huge banana grin on my face :D edit: but seriously, now that you point it out, it's kind of funny when someone accuses someone else they're having an argument with of trolling.  | ||

I see way too many discussions where people end up using terms they think they know but it ends up meaning something completely different to other people. Take the term "cheese" in starcraft. Some people also seem to use "balance" in all kinds of crazy ways. Whenever there is a discussion about either of these topics, you always have lots of wasted pages of arguments and disagreements. The core of the discussion often drowns away in people talking past each other instead of to each other. I think whenever you use words that people tend to misinterpret you need to give a clear definition of what the words mean. You end up raising the quality discussion a whole lot. This doesn't have anything to do with the word Troll, but what better place to vomit some off topic opinions than on Intrigue's blog, eh? | ||

I always thought it was troll as in, mythical creature troll (cuz trolls are bad lawl). I would suggest the reason i used to think this way, is because everyone uses troll as a noun. So if you call someone a troll, you are calling someone a "act of trolling" or referring to the "bait" or "lure" which would make more sense if you were refering the the users post and not the user. But because people use this word to describe the poster it would make no sense to call them a troll? I wonder how many other people have been mislead abbout this word for this reason>? Someone who trolls would be called an angler or a fisherman. On the other hand accusing someone of trolling would make sense to me. Is this reasonable to assume or do I have a mistaken grasp of the word, as in how it should be properly used in the english language? for those of you who cannot conquer the Analogy Obstacle Course, an internet troll (the ship captain) in his Internet Locomotive Device aka his computer (the boat) will make troll posts (the fishing bait) and watch as his victims are dragged in any direction he chooses. Why is the ship's captain/ fisherman refered to as a 'troll'? Would it be proper english to call the guy who trolls for fish a 'troll'??? More likely, in proper english the troll should refer to the bait>? I assume my confusion comes from internet 'troll' being a slang word and a noun, which is why I would get it confused with the most common noun for the word which would be a mythical creature. I'm also quite surprised that no one else who has posted had the wrong idea about the origin of the term, such as i did. I don't ever use the word, just a point of interest for me. | ||

throughout the entire Rant in the OP, all I could keep thinking is when is this poster ever going to use a capital letter to start a sentence. Interesting that moderation would go so far to boot 'Troll' misusers, but not using such a common rule to sentence structure kind of 'makes you, me, and the site look dumb.' I'm kind of confused by this new 'policy.' | ||

So you kinda forgot to capitalize midway through your post, why on earth would 'Rant' then have a capital R? | ||

Also, who the fuck do you think you are Intrigue? Talking out of your ass and educating these people on what a troll is. Honestly, this kinda article should be left in the hands of someone with a little more experience like Hot_Bid for example. | ||

I find it hard to believe all the idiots on the internet (of which there are many) suddenly turned into genius puppet masters. In fact I think it actually benefits the retards even more, when they finally do get backed into a corner with their shitty argument, they can just say "lol relax, I was trolling" | ||

That should be perma ban imo. Btw I hardly ever used the three words now banned. This is the kind of wisdom I possess | ||
