• Trolls vs. the rest of the internet

People keep calling me a troll because all of my opinions are so radical and I openly state my opinions and thoughts. Most of the arguments I enter, I win and I mean I dominate their feeble minds. It really hurts my feelings when people call me a troll :( Also note I was referring to Facebook, Not Facepunch.
I used to troll but then I matured. Really, like now I just don't bother trolling or entertaining trolls. Sometimes it's fun to do when you're with friends but other than that it's just some stupid immature thing I used to do when the internet was sort of new to me.
To me, there are two kinds of "trolling". The first is the most common, which only consists of flaming/making offensive remarks or being a general asshole. This includes things like telling someone their religion is completely fucked up, talking trash for no reason, annoying random people, etc. Most of these people like to call themselves "trolls" and brag about what they do. The second type is sort of rare, but hilarious. It involves causing trouble to make people laugh. Some examples of this are bugging people who are being a nuisance to the rest of the server, or doing something that would normally make someone mad in a way that instead makes them laugh (related: a large group of guys dressed as vikings raiding and pillaging a city in a Minecraft server). Instead of screaming "u mad????" the troll has class and likes to make witty replies. Often, these people don't call themselves trolls. I have seen a lot of the second type before, and if it's done right, it is brilliant. That's just how I see it.
Isn't trolling attempting to get others to argue with you only starting the situation?
I do this simply for the pleasure of other people being pissed off. And sometimes, it's quite a challenge to troll people (I'm talking about IRL people trolling, since internet is stupid shit nowadays and everyone falls for it), who claim to have nerves of steel. Even better satisfaction, when they finally get pissed off. I made my friend like that once write a confession about "how he loves everyone, he wants to live a good life but then he must go into deep depression period and won't talk to anyone THANKS TO ME" Shit felt good. Im a horrible person.

here are some words about trolling that i expect all of you to read:
Kinda fed up with idiots thinking that if they quote memes etc that it makes them a troll. No, saying "umad" repeatedly does not make you a troll. In my opinion, trolling should be funny for everyone when done correctly. It shouldn't be based on directly flaming, though there are exceptions. People also over react to people saying something mean to them, and call that person a troll, which is just stupid. You get idiots calling idiots trolls.

He's just trying to get a 'NO YOURE WRONG YOU FUCKING IDIOT' reaction out of people if he was just ignored and reported, he wouldn't reply anymore
Why do people even take notice of them? It's like when you get a child that is annoying you. You can't do shit but ignore them, why even debate?
I don't like the extreme spectrum of trolling, like when it gets to the point where the person is just going nuts. But anything in the middle is fine.
It's funny because there's no way to stop it if done right. In games like L4D, it's pretty much impossible not to be trolled. I could purposely not shoot the zombies attacking my friends, and enough damage would be done that they would lose the round. I know this, so even if I get kicked, I still consider it a success. There's no way to stop it.
When i joined fp,i was trolling,but as time goed,i stopped,because it became boring.

IMO, to consider someone a troll while arguing is an extremely arrogant thing to do. it pretty much means that you are saying "my opinion is always right, i see absolutely no reason for you to think it is wrong unless you are trolling, so by disagreeing you are a troll." for example, these talentless twats on DA re-colour somebody else's line-art with retarded MSpaint colours, and expects nothing but blind praise for it. and when you say something even hinting negativity they explode. "what gratification can you receive from recolouring these things? a clever PHP script can make these in million sums, i can't see how this is either entertaining or artistic" "Get a life your worthless troll if you don't like it don't comment GTFO"

I spend more time on my troll facebook then my real one. It's hilarious to piss people off. I might fuck with pro nuclear power for example, just to fuck with anti nuclear power after. Why not, lets people cry out a little.
This is the internet, you have the power to leave if you are offended by them. Oh, and if you're being "trolled", don't reply. This tends to make them move on and try to flame/troll others. Whenever I troll, it's either because that person is acting completely stupid, otherwise it's just because I feel in a "troll" mood. I move on when people are intelligent enough not to reply, it only gives us disappointment.
When someone trolls me I roll with it by agreeing with what they say and taking the piss outta myself.
I get trolled by a couple of youtubers nearly every day.
Basically the same as everyone else. I either troll because I feel like it, or the victim deserves. However, when I was playing the Battlefield 3 Beta, I instantly trolled anyone hiding at the edges of the map, sniping. Its not bad, and its your play style, but when it ruins the rest of the experience for everyone else, they kind of deserve it.
Snipers are actually suppose to be all stealth. I don't see or anything need for snipers to be out in the open.
there's a certain css christianity server that's pretty fun
[QUOTE=Kamrua;32655380]Fun [highlight](User was banned for this post ("This is not how you post in Mass Debate" - Swebonny))[/highlight][/QUOTE] Terrible ban. I rarely go out with the intention of trolling, but it gets fun quickly as their anger snowballs into an angry storm I can control with a couple of keystrokes. They don't leave the server until I let them. They don't have any respect that I don't allow them. They are basically my bitches, and that is fun.

[QUOTE=BrQ;32655774]You tell people something they don't want to hear ('valve sucks', 'furries are sick', 'gay people are weird' etc) [/QUOTE] what you said is funny because its almost fucking true. Valve is okay, furries are sick and gay people may be a bit weird at times.
thought out trolling can sometimes be entertaining, but the basic insults towards someone/something/an opion/etc especially if they then go with the "u mad" just labels it "trying to troll" which is pretty boring and will just get forgotten
Ive never trolled before. I dislike hurting ones feelings.
