    Saying a troll is equal to a sadist is a bit over the top and not very scientific IMO
    A lot of you tube videos have trolls in the comment sections - it is very obvious.

    Really? Are you a scientist or a psychologist/psychiatrist?

    It was 2014 scientific study performed by Canadian researchers. I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Too bad that study wasnt done by Americans. Then maybe the Canadians would believe it.

    Did everyone see how the troll shrank down to a teeny tiny size when he was ignored?

    :how_interesting:

    Have a great weekend everyone. :)

    I think it's a good idea to PM the person, maybe it's all a misunderstanding the written word can so easily be analyzed in different ways. :)

    i like trolls & assholes, smartasses, sewer system creatures & little guy syndrome having elves. i like those who agitate, those who stir the pot & those teetering on being banned. trolls are easily slapped senseless & generally full of poop.

    the best part is, it's free (or cheap) entertainment. trolling might should be an olympic event in both the winter & summer games. several on here could earn their bronze medals

    does a troll = those who disagree with ones own line of thinking? I think some on these boards think that is the case.

    I would disagree with that but I don't want to be thought of as a trol. :wink:

    No, really, it depends on how an opinion is presented. And sometimes what might appear as trolling is just someone trying to be funny. Sometimes it a fine line. I've learned that if I really want to get a point across it's better to just be forthright.

    No, a troll is someone who repeatedly says provocative things with the sole intention of riling people up, rather than expressing genuinely held beliefs. Of course you'll ask how I can know that these aren't their true thoughts and opinions. I suppose I can't but when nearly every comment or post made by an individual is of a provocative or disrespectful nature, it generally suggests a distinct pattern of behaviour indicative of trolldom :tongue:
