I think differently.


Prolly cuz your a troller too....Lolz




Judging from your past post history (content-wise) and mine, I dont think you qualify to name me "troll".


I have posted one time outside of the Jedi forums. So, no, to be troller you must be posting where you don't belong (i.e. the wrong profession, and negatively against them). I am a 100% pro-Jedi poster and I post in my forum. Occasionally I will use satire, but only to make the case for Jedi. If I want to complain about another profession, I'll do it right here, in my forum. I won't go to your forum to trash you...that's trolling...got it?




Actually, everybody can post anywhere he wants as long as it is constructive and helpful. There is no forum that a player "belongs", but there are posts that belong or dont belong in certain forums.
Lets take this thread as an example: Marrow comes in, tries to start a survey of the types of combat encounters Jedi have, and somebody else steps in flaming him for another post. Neither helpful nor constructive to the topic of this thread. All answers to this flaming post (mine and yours) are also trolling.
See another example for trolling here. No new points made, fitting for the GAT maybe, but not matching the topic of the thread, just cluttering up other information.


There is no exact definition of a "troller", I checked Brittanica, just opinions. I would contend that most people agree with my definition:

Someone who is bashing another profession outside of their forum (i.e. a BH posting "Jedi suck" in a Jedi forum, which will encite anger and retaliation) ...in most cases, just to further the cause of their own interests or to be annoying.

Changing the topic and/or adding clutter often occurs by Trollers, but not always.

Our thread is a clear example. BTW...I was just kidding originally...I do not classify you as a flaming troller, because you refrain from blowing smoke up my a*s, you just address your points clearly. I do consider you to be "pro-troller" however, because a Doctor Correspondent bashing a Jedi to me is just a bizzare example as the flaming should not be occuring from a correspondent. He knew it would encite specific anger given his role, and he still chose to post negatively (not this post of course, the one that KRAKEN666 was referring to from the day before) If nothing else, it shows bad judgement. A smart person like you should understand that.





Yes, Marrow posted what could be viewed as a flame, and Marrow apologized for it in the same thread. He did not ask a moderator to delete his post and the replies to it, he left it standing there for everybody to see. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, and he probably wont do it again.
Trolling is pretty much definded as stirring up trouble by SOE - GarVa and Virrago should have a link to the SOE definition of trolling in their sig.
