how can you possibly be trolling you genuinely believe what you are saying and are not just saying something to get a rise out of people?

maybe they intersect at times, but the act of trolling is totally based on intent. Pretty much every single definition online disagrees with what you're saying

Isnt the point of trolling to go against what everyone agrees with?

I think i did that quite well in all those posts.

By that i mean, of course its required to have intent, i have a friend who does the same thing. Says something totally wrong, we call him a dumbfuck and he says he's trolling.

Intent is everything in the art of trolling

All this aside, i think this post sums almost everything up

Trolls are the vigilantes of the internet. Some fight for good. Some fight for evil. Most are questionable.

The weak and simple ones are banned off young.

The best make pretty good mods, come to think of it.

I'm a bit naive about trolls and often I tend to believe that extreme and absurd opinions and arguments are the result of trolls, when in fact there are people out there who are just stupid enough to actually mean it.

I think that's worse than trolling because it takes away my faith in humanity. At least good trolling requires some intelligence.

People think I'm a troll when I fervently hold a moral position... I hate that I'm expected to handle every argument like someone who wears a monocle.
