Trolling

I've never been one for the blatant trolling against people for no reason. One example that particularly made me sick was a twitterer sending Gary Barlow(A musician) a link or picture to that Dead Baby pictures website after his own child had died. I feel this type of action is just sickening.

I don't troll for no reason, or pick on people because it might make me feel better, but I do try to stick it to people who act like above, of course, not to that extent.


On the other hand, I love friendly banner. I try to engage in such banner with members of this forum. But, I'd never go out of my way to ridicule and really set out to hurt somebody, be it online or in real life.

'Trolling' the actual, try and make you feel bad / It's not actually a joke? Is absolutely pathetic. To all those saying they like trolling once in a while, grow up. Bullying is the worst you can do to children or even adults when it comes to messing with someone mentally, it leaves scars on people. It might not be scars you can see in real life, but they're definitely there mentally.

I think it's beyond pathetic people get a kick out of trolling others, "Oh, it was just a joke!" a joke my ass, you're upsetting people with it to make your sad self feel better. When you grow up and hopefully for those who troll grow a brain, you might be lucky enough to understand what the hell you're doing to someone. If not, well, I feel sorry for you. Sickening really.

Anything you do to make people intentionally feel that way as a result is sad. Grow up. Seriously.

And if that didn't clear it up. I'm against bullying, trolling or any of that immature bullshit. Lol, trolling to pass the time, seriously. Feel sorry for those who are like that, honestly do.

I couldn't have said it better myself Kira. Grow up and act your age and not your shoe size.
 
It doesn't make you any smarter or make you look any better to call someone out on being stupid. If they're being uncalled for, it's a different story.
 
trolling is saying stuff that you know will get a rise out of someone and making them get riled up intentionally

aka making threads even after mods closed them about how stupid you think a group of people are

whatever is said about a person like this being stupid isn't bullying it's making them feel stupid because they are being stupid
 
Most of the time the people i see on this site who cant take a joke are exploited because of that. Once people realise they cant take a joke and are easily upset and offended they go out their way to pick on them. Now thats my definition of bullying.
 
I see no reason to go overboard and point things out in a serious manner. Picking on somebody who got something wrong is stupid: if you got what they were trying to say, why point it out and make a fool out of somebody, then ridicule them for it?

If you have to correct somebody, do it in a polite way, or even in private... Maybe even both.
 
If someone smells you can say they smell, if someone is noisy you can call them loud, and if someone is being stupid there is no reason you cannot point out they are being stupid. I'm pretty sure it was morons who decided it was not ok to call morons stupid, which was actually a pretty crafty move by the morons
 
I never said it wasn't okay to correct somebody. Going over the top to MAKE SURE every single person knows how wrong said was isn't really necessary in my eyes. Of course you can do that, but escalating it isn't needed.
 
I think everyone has trolled before to some extent and I think we're getting trolling and bullying mixed up :hmmm:

What's wrong with having a little joke about someone or having a little tease? If they can't take a joke or get easily offended then perhaps they need to lighten up. It's a sad world when you can't have a laugh at yourself. I dunno if I'm saying this because 90% of the time I am pretty good at taking a joke, specially about myself but c'mon people. If you just had a laugh at it then it wouldn't turn into anything worse than a little joke. It's when people take something seriously that it can very easily turn into a bullying situation.

When it starts getting to really bad name calling, or actual nasty insults, then it becomes bullying, not trolling, and I don't think that's on and that's when the bully starts getting pathetic.
 
I'll troll every once in a blue moon, but I don't troll people who are obviously disgruntled or angry. That's when trolling just becomes plain indignant.
 
Oh come on. Trolling has been around for yokes. We have always loved to stir up people. My Grandad used to call it " pulling my leg " Meaning your provoking me to get me mad in order to get a reaction.

We have just started to notice it happening online. But I always do it to my oldest brother in RL because he just can't seem to lighten up about anything. :britt:
