I suppose it's the allure of anonymity and a large audience, even I gave in and trolled once. Normally I'm quiet and polite and when confronted I keep to myself but online there are no consequences so you can literally get away with saying anything.

I must say even though I felt guilty after, as some people have never encountered trolls before, it was great fun winding them up and watching their spellings degrade and their letters capitalise.

I've never trolled, but I was accused of being a former member who had been a troll by a forum one time. I still don't understand it. The mods there just let it happen when they could have easily looked up my IP and seen it was different from the other person's(no two are the same from my understanding). It's still something that rankles.

In that situation, the temptation would have been very strong to be hung for a sheep as for a lamb. :twisted:

Teehee. CB I'm content to be a troll in debates such as music interests and hobbies wherever I go. :P With the U.S.'s leader, I'm a cross between a wise-arse and a troll ("Obama is a US-born Christian? Funny, that's not what he said when he was talking about how he was born in Kenya and raised up Muslim....Just sayin. c: "). XD Though I'm not old enough to understand politics and the economy and whatnot, it's oodles of fun to troll about. :D
I'm deeply rooted in my beliefs, but I'm not an "extremist". I generally hate arguing. Debates, however, I love. :'D I acknowledge that I don't know everything though. But what I can't STAND is when people put words into my mouth. I had a FB post about the Day Of Silence and a homosexual jumped right on it and started flaming me, and after six or so responses she had me deleted and blocked. I never even said anything negative about the DOS OR homosexuality. She stuffed a bunch of words into my mouth I never even implicated. :c /sadface Doncha hate that?

Ahh, Facebook asshats... I know a few and they now know better than to get on my bad side. Normally I shy away from all kinds of debate as I hate it, but just sometimes, when people start stuff on my own profile I enter terrier-mode and refuse to let it go.

I have fun, but sadly not much as people avoid me like the plague now ;)
