Or ignorant of the definition of a troll.
Click to expand...

In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, online video game, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses,[2] or manipulating others' perception. This is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all.[3]

Pretty clear.

With regard to the current discussion, @BigOrangeTrain used a logical fallacy to twist what another poster said into something negative when there was no negative connotation. When multiple others called him out, rather than admit the fallacy, he continued to double and triple down. There comes a point when choosing to engage in such things falls within the definition of troll. Very few people in the RF get called a troll for a differing opinion. We have lots of differing opinions. They get called troll when their trolling patterns become clear. There are some here who are pretty clear.

If you argue with someone, you are called a troll.

Not true, but if you argue incessantly for no good reason or just to get the last word in, you'll probably get called a troll and may be guilty as charged.

If you are negative in anyway, you are a troll.

Wrong, but again, if you beat the dead horse, you'll probably be accused of trolling.

dont be so dramatic.

inflation is happening around the world. as everyone was quick to point out during previous regimes, economies are cyclical. ask yourself if your frustration stems from an alignment with certain ideologies.

my point is that relative to rest of world our gas prices are cheap. rest of world scoffs at our complains of $3 gas, while we drive our diesel down the road.

Who wants to spend more? My point was that of all things id put gas prices at about level 100 importance.

Americans are spoiled rotten.

Price of an apartment that I paid $400 / month when I was young is now going for $1200 / month.
Price of food goes up.
Price of used cars is through the roof because there aren't enough new cars.
Price of clothing is up.
Some of us are somewhat insulated from feeling the full pain of all of this. However, the single mom that had to work two jobs to make ends meet two years ago is in real trouble now. The families that already depended on government assistance to put food on their tables are hurting even worse now. Those silly spoiled Americans.
