Besides all those pseudo-psychological wiki-entries and psychological online-studies from china, are there only "trolls" and "non-trolls" lurking on the internet?
They say Elon Musk likes to "troll" from time to time, here and there. So, is he a "troll" or not?
Are we even still aware of the exact definition of a "troll" and how such one can be identified? Are there users who tend to "troll" without even being aware of it?
Is a user only a "troll", when heīs "trolling" and when he ainīt "trolling", heīs not?
They also say, there are lots of REDDIT-Moderators who tend to "troll" when they feel for it.
WTF!? A "trolling" moderator? LOL
I am not sure, but i do remember chatrooms and forums, when the word "troll" didnīt even exist. This was also a time, when i remember the internet not being such a toxic-waste dump as it appears to be these days on certain spots.
So i somehow got the idea, people donīt even know what they are talking about, because actually everyone "trolls" sooner or later and if a person really wants to do some serious damage to a forum while inflicting pain onto other users (the actual classic and original definition of a "troll"), then i am sure he would exactly NOT behave like a "troll" is usually behaving. So i am sure, youīd never use the line "Donīt feed the troll!" if it is a real troll whoīs trying to seriously hurt you and your forum. But then again, how many "trolls" are really having those psychopathic tendencies?
I also read, some "trolls" just want to have "fun" and some are just "bored" but then again, ainīt every user "bored" who seeks a forum just to write a bunch of actual more or less irrelevant lines of text?
Also, too many users these days seem to scream "Donīt feed the troll!" and they scream it pretty fast. Some users actually use this line so fast and so often that i gotta ask: Are they trolls?
Oh my, the internet is actually full of "trolls"!
BTW from what i experienced to this point, this forum here seems to be one of the better places actually, pretty rare in my opinion.
