    When done right trolling is more then simply being cruel or offensive, its skillfully messing with peoples heads (in a cruel way of course) Sometimes tho its just angering people for the fun:pac:

    For example, deliberatly stupid questions just to piss people off.

    Can you please explain the above quotes. These posts contradict themselves do they not?

    Not really. You just dug up some crap, posted off topic looking for a reaction. Trolling.
    Thanks for the valuable input to this thread dude.

    You by your own admission were trolling from what I can see based on what you said in this thread.

    in a PC World gone mad trolling is often humour or adverse opinion. sometimes even heartfelt sentiment, rubbished and made an example of - i'm in favour of naming that misdemeanor; trolling is a poor reason that encompasses just about anything one can not explain

    i've seen examples of what i might consider 'trolling', but it is now too common a lazy excuse - i'd rather address that misdemeanor by its proper title. 'trolling' is the beginning of the end of free speech.

    troll is a term we use around for the homeless because the homeless are commonly known to sleep under bridges like trolls.

    People intentionally trying to piss people off, ie going into the Christianity forum and start a thread about how God is gay or something

    God isn't gay?

    I made 2 posts in this thread.

    1. reply to the OP
    2. A reply to whatever non-sensical stuff you asked

    Trolling? Dude, you need to relax a bit.

    I'm not evening getting in to this... at least OP now has their very own example of what trolling is.
