Does anyone think they've trolled at some point? I think it's an easy behavior to fall for. I know I've trolled my Facebook friends on occasion with politics. Slightly different as we know each other though.

Yeah, done my share, still do occasionally, but I try to behave.

There's something about winding zealots up that appeals to my dark side though.

Some people are like slinkys, simple and mostly useless, but they give you an inexplicable joy as you push them down the stairs.

Fun to stir a mate, but if the person doesnt know you, or doesnt appreciate the humor, then can be called trolling. Trolling can also be online bullying, but its more often a symptom of people with bad lives, just trying to bring others down. I enjoy a stir, and being stirred, but its walking a fine line, when your online

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Yeah, it's the online thing that changes things. I'll stir people, even strangers in the real world, and they don't get as upset as online, so it goes both ways I spose.

Guess cyber just makes it easier to both outrage, and be outraged.

One thing i have learnt is that the way you interpret what you read can be completely different to the way the writer meant it to be. There is no emotion or inflection in the written word. That is why I use so many emoticons in my texts etc, to try put some emotion in it. It came from how my relationship with Mrs Ramjet started. We would do 300+ texts a day. :8 8)

Don't have a deep and meaningful conversation via the written word.
