Kraft, trolling is a post by someone you don't like who asks you a question you can't answer

I thought trolling is when you can't explain anything you've ever posted, like Washingtonebayer.

Classic, do you guys EVER get past the past?

You can't explain to numbskulls. Trolling is something you do with a hook and boat in water. Get out the life jackets we are going down.
Unless you are referring to hookers they troll too. hahaha!

Classic, that happened over a year ago. How does what Crowfarm said to me affect your life?

Also, only a handful of the more intelligent posters here caught on to the connection between my 'who has the most posts' thread and the 'who dislikes people named linda' thread, while the rest of you didn't, which is ok.

kraft, ok, I'm one that does not understand your thread on 'Who dislikes people named Linda'

What did that mean then?

crowfarm and mingo are trolls. (answering your trolling question)

Leave my name out of your trolling thread kraftdinner, you more than anyone here start troll threads, you mock people and seem to get a laugh out of it, just as I did while reading about you and some others here getting your azzes kicked over at OTWA. I understand now why you would want me to leave here, its because you are not welcome anywhere else.

You ask for an example, I gave you one, I owe you no explaination. What kind of fcked up individual are you?

Trolling:
Hunting for Trolls.

Posting a topic with the intent of causing a maximum amount of strife and mayhem among posters. (Like in fishing, you present a bait to entice a bite.)

Or

There are four basic types of Troll.

------------------------------

Subject: 3.1 The old definition

The old definition of a Troll is one who posts to generate the maximum number of follow ups. These are a very minor irritation, and can be considered to be advantageous to newsgroups.

------------------------------

Subject: 3.2 The Irritating Troll

Some merely post drivel, or tirades against netnannies and netcops, often at a BI of over 20. In general they cause little real damage to newsgroups.

------------------------------

Subject: 3.3 The destructive Troll

In about the year 1999 a new breed of Troll appeared who have the declared intention of destroying a specific Target newsgroup. This is done by a variety of posts, intended to drive normal posters away from the specific newsgroup.

When the percentage of Troll posts, including followups exceeds about 75% of the total posts, most readers seem to just give up and unsubscribe. Usenet, and particularly the
uk.local.* hierarchy is for most users a hobby and if that hobby ceases to be enjoyable, the obvious answer is just to find another hobby.

Once a specific Target newsgroup has been laid waste as was uk.local.birmingham it becomes a Old Target newsgroup, This happened in about February 2000 it is being maintained a
wasteground by crossposts from the current Target ng.

Alt.astrology.metapsych at the time of writing is totally destroyed by destructive trolls. This is repported at: http://www.astroconsulting.com/FAQs/abusive_ISPs_list.htm
>>>
Here is a useful FAQ that explains what has happened to the group I created alt.astrology.metapsych:
http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/anti_troll_faq.htm
<<<

------------------------------

Subject: 3.4 The nasty Troll

If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's ability to cause mayhem, they can become very nasty, posting from obviously incorrect variations of the name etc. insults, call them netcops, netnannies, homosexuals.

Various off usenet methods are also used to force the victim to stop posting: Subscribing the victim to hundreds of unwanted pornographic email newsletters, and sites. Complaining to employers about non existent misdemeanours.
Sending garbage emails without indication of sender. Telephone calls at dead of night. Harassing the close relatives of victims.

------------------------------

Subject: 3.5 The evil and illegal Troll

If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's ability to cause mayhem, they also forge posts in that persons name and internet address and libel them on usenet. Both these are illegal.

"Dear Lord, if you can't make me a better man, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am.".

An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.

Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.

(If that ever described craw, I don't know what does)

Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words.

"Dear Lord, if you can't make me a better man, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am.". [ edited by Bear1949 on Dec 6, 2005 07:26 PM ]

Does that make sense?

"You ask for an example, I gave you one, I owe you no explaination. What kind of fcked up individual are you?"

Because I asked you to please explain what you meant I'm fcked up?

NeartheseaLibra, are you targeting me because YOU LIED AND I caught YOU IN IT?
Remember how you LIED and said I denied being crowfarm and I have never done that and YOU can't prove it because it never happened and so you are a LIAR.

Why am I a troll?

Because I post things YOU don't like ????

GOOD!

I think NTSLibra is a troll, lying and trying to start trouble.

If the fart was at the door doing the greeting at Walmart, i believe i'd turn around, walk out and go to K-mart instead. I've stayed and talked with the Walmart greeters before, rather my usual 'howdy' as i walk in and i've found them to be some pretty nice people, haven't met a bad one yet.
