Buenes Dias, querida.
I'd like to know - in minute detail - just what the fuck is wrong with people. Specifically, why they insist on being twats and annoying me.

Alt: what do trolls actually get out of trolling?

Alt 2: clear out the house, get someone in to fumigate it, redecorate and refurnish.

Nope, although I would have done if I'd noticed it before I bought my burger

Buenos días, amiga
In minute detail? Well, we could be here all day. I think I better refer you to Chompy or Monty, as they're better at this than me.

Trolls... probably Chompy and Monty know better than me. Or Rory, in fact. I don't know, maybe it's a weird thing, like masochism, and they get sexual plessure from annoying people.

None of those three are trolls. Even Rory.

No
But they're good at spotting them.

ah, I see.
I did wonder.

Out of curiosity.
and because this comes up most time anyone uses the T word, could I have your definition of trolls and trolling?

I've heard it used to mean either anyone who''s a cunt online or what is also called a sock puppet among other things. I'd characterise it as posting purely to get a (negative) reaction but I'm interested in other peoples definitions.

your last point is pretty much there
but it's definitely not about being a bit of cunt. It's a specific search for a reaction, usually by saying something deliberately inflammatory.

So, it is possible to troll from time to time
because lets face it we all go for a reaction some times, with out being a troll? For example see Al V Swipe. But one is not a troll unless this is one's raison d'être? This would be my position, but I'm fairly sure I've been told I don't understand the term before.

It needs to be your pure purpose for being there to be a troll, yeah.

While I agree in principal
There are people who spend 90% of their on-line lives being arseholes to get a reaction and yet avoid the label because they occasionally have a civil conversation. I think they are worthy of at least demi-troll status, or shall we just stick to arsehole?

There's also the phenomenon of people who may only troll on here while being a 'normal' poster on /talk (and for all I know vice versa). They also resist the label, but I think 'at the time they are doing it' it's justified to an extent.

Sorry if this is all dull but I find internet sociology fascinating.

Can you imagine if that was true about the sexual pleasure
and then all the internet trolls went on the tube?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 18 Oct 2011, 11:43, Reply)

Is that like 'pressure' but in a racist 'Chinky' voice?
SHAME ON YOU.

sorry you missed your chance to praise the Daily Mail.

Trolls get payment for people what want to cross bridges.
