How will you be defining "trolling"

polyandrym66 · 70-79, M

@SW-User I found this on urbandictionary.com:
Trolling
The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame.

The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.
Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.

@polyandrym66 Then any trolls I have seen here are obviously some mutant off-springs. None are clever or intelligent. Maybe we can come up with another name for them? Something more suitable.
