What exactly constitutes a ‘troll’?

[Radis Noir]

I've finally realised what constitutes a troll on here - expressing an opinion / providing unwanted facts to a small group who do the same with what they think, and that's not trolling, but if you answer back, you are trolling.

That just about nails it i think.

If you answer back with bollocks, yes.

And they are so certain in what they say that it could never, ever, be considered trolling. Anyone not in their clique is a troll basically.

But you are a troll. I thought we'd established that the other night. If you don't want to be considered to be a troll, try setting out your 'arguments' more carefully and not just mashing out a load of sneering alt-right buzzwords.

 

[Silent Reader]

Oh, one last criteria - they are so egotistically full of themselves, so sure they are right & you are wrong, that their 'arguments' are so watertight & correct, that they are so intellectually above everyone else, they could never, ever be a troll.

But you-you pond life reading this- if you're not in the clique, you are indeed a troll.

You are getting it at last.

Trolls steal other people's avatars. But this thing you do, switching every day, hints at something more.

Really, what’s that? Radis made some comment about how I liked to associate with far right imagery so I used the same photo as him for a while, just to amuse myself (and I didn’t steal it, it’s not his avatar to steal,unless he has copyright on it, in which case, please post evidence).

And actually, I’ve just been using different photos until I found one I was happy with, which I have now, but so what? But please enlighten me, what does it hint at? You seem to have such a great intellectual grasp on every issue, just like your hero Jeremy Vile, I’d be fascinated to know.

Seems to me there is a fine line between having an opinion & being a troll. Maybe we just need a very humdrum, anodyne set of views to adhere to so no-one ever gets upset about anything.

Maybe every Internet forum needs a snowflake like ‘safe zone’ where people can run off to if anything’s upsets them. Like they have in Universities. Like the RE students who get upset at the bible for instance

Or just ‘no-platform’ them.

You sound like a total c***.

What? It's just my opinion!

The truth hurts?

I haven’t set up ‘The safe zone’ yet, if/when I do, you’ll be the first to know.

Can you first connect the dots for me regarding "Radis made some comment about how I liked to associate with far right imagery so I used the same photo as him for a while?"
"So" implies a logical connection between the two clauses and I'm not seeing it.

 

[Fake C]

If I was Jeremy Vile I'd be "sympathetic" while you told me your part of the story and then call you a nasty little liar and a "tea leaf" later in the episode with two goons standing nearby so you couldn't hit me.

The implication was he said about far right imagery, so I used his avatar to imply it was far right. It was just a stupid joke, wasn’t meant to be ground breaking or the height of wit.

You don’t want my opinion I know, but you really need to stop associating with Radis, he’s a c*** of the highest order. You know how you put Jeremy Kyle down for being a vile, self centred, elitist twat who thinks he’s above everyone else? Well that’s your mate Radis. Just read what he was writing last night.

I know you won’t agree with me, but it’s worth a try. You seem capable of being alright with some of your posts.

The trouble is, 'vile' and 'self-centred' could equally validly be applied to you so as a charge it loses its potency. 'Elitist?' Let's look at that. As Popeye said, I am what I am. What's the alternative? Would you like me to pretend to be something I'm not? Would you prefer I pretend to like football and sliced white and groping women when plainly I do not? Wouldn't you find that terribly patronising? It shows double standards on your part to expect me to rein in my personality when you yourself never pass up an opportunity to parade the more unpleasant aspects of your own.

At least you admit you’re elitist. It’s a start. And I don’t like groping women, you idiot, but you knew that. Unless you can’t differentiate between a Carry On film thread & real life.

Are you sure about that? As you are a self-admitted user of pornography presumably some little bit of you thinks that women are there just to service your needs. Your comment yesterday sneering at the fact that I respect my wife's wishes about not playing The Smiths in the house when she's at home is also rather telling. It might be stretching things a little to accuse you of being a misogynist but who knows?

I love Jeremy Kyle for those exact reasons and while I haven't really thought about Radis that much before you arrived I'm starting to think I've overlooked one of this board's real gems. I think you're getting too sucked into the whole thing and need to just use the ignore option. I don't know how I associate with Radis except that we sometimes post on the same threads. We're not sending each other private messages about you or anything.

He also added this to his comments on porn - I've never watched Chinese porn, as a rule their tits aren't big enough.

I’d hardly say I’m a ‘user’ of pornography Radis; yes I’ve looked at it, but I’d say 99.99% of men have.

Apart from you I suppose?
