A supposed troll topic just got deleted. I don't know if it was confirmed to actually be a troll even if it was hostile. I dislike that the creator wasn't even given the chance to prove themselves.
All that really tells me is it was a jock or older person who has general ideas of nerd culture. I've seen that thrown around even in serious discussions by people I know aren't trolls.
Oh I know. I'm not dismissing the possibility either. Been on the internet too long to not see it but I don't like to use that as an excuse not to think about it either. It's far too easy just to dismiss it as a trolling attempt rather than address what might actually be a problem.
