FoxyCryptid 4,330 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 (edited) Please, just let me have my denial so I can continue to live in a fantasy land where people don't unintentionally act as stupid as some of the "trolls" I've seen. Edited April 9, 2014 by Shoboni 9 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Floaty 1,334 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 I would prefer to believe that Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, the late Fred Phelps, Jenny McCarthy, Donald Trump, and many others are celebrities who intentionally act the way they do to make money rather than force myself to admit that they are truly horrific people. I know in my heart that it is not true, but I try to believe anyways. 2 Signature created by Champion RD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windseeker 546 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 I hate how trollnaming is such a bad thing... when someone talks crap with the whole point of starting something, then you have every right to call them a troll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT-1138 3,182 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 I don't assume, but when some people make offensive posts just to make other people rage, that's called trolling. 1 Love is a most potent magic My FiMFiction | My DA | My Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoroChii 284 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 So that I can keep my sanity, believing that people can't possibly be so stupid. I often call people trolls but don't really think or care if they are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseFaller 2,484 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 You assume that I'm a troll? You've assumed correctly! Anyways, on a more serious note I'd like to believe that we assume some people are trolls for a variety of reasons. We like to think that maybe these people really aren't that stupid, they're just trolls. Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'aiq the Liar 5,804 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Because by not assuming that every stupid opinion is a troll, you make it easier for the trolls to win, because you reply to those posts with a fervor that only feeds a troll to its maximum. Because I don't want to live in a planet where Suey Park's tweets are not satire.

Shanks 10,816 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Because trolls are usually assholes and when someone behaves like one than there is a good chance they might be a troll. In some cases people are actually dumb enough to believe what they are saying and are still assholes but it can be a tad hard to tell sometimes.

FoqueMe 44 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 It seems that "troll" has become synonymous with "anyone who disagrees with you." (Think of accusing someone as "trolling" if they tell you they prefer oranges when you mention liking bananas). I always assumed a legitimate troll was someone who went out of their way to cause trouble/grief/drama. But this was in the before time, in the long, long ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayoUni2847 528 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 It's because the internet and a lot of people on it have dug themselves a hole so deep that when someone says someone else is a troll, they're usually correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift enchanted 380 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Because they might be short and have long purple care like normal trolls. We can get confused for which trolls are fake. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it save equistria with its five candy coloured friends and shoot rainbows at bad guys using their necklaces and tiara unless you're celestiaAlso if your not familiar with the count to one million post then check out our welcoming cheer!http://mlpforums.com/topic/69955-count-to-one-million/page-1188Just scroll to the bottom and it'll be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottlosMann 221 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Because it's easier to believe some people are trolls than to realize there really are people so painfully dumb. For fucking example: 3 Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion 20,269 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Or the fact that some people can be SO dumb that they accidentally troll, when is actuality they are.........just.......not the brightest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy 6,189 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 The usage of 'troll' on the internet once had meaning. It used to describe people who actually intentionally were all about getting under the nerves of others. Nowadays 'troll' is a term that is thrown at people that oftentimes have controversial opinions that a lot of others disagree with. All it is, is acceptable name-calling. I wish the term would die, alongside "flame wars". Both terms have equally lost their meaning. Anybody with controversial opinions (even if sincere and stated kindly) is now labeled a 'troll', and any argument that gets even the slightest bit heated up are now labeled 'flame wars'. The average forum poster seems to have no idea what these terms mean anymore. To be honest, I think both have lost their meaning for the very same reason: Some people never want to see others with opposing opinions, and never want to be questioned in their positions. So what better way than to call any starting of an argument a "flame war", and anybody who has an opinion that is the opposite of yours and isn't afraid of stating it a "troll". Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
