Does the definition of troll include residence, age, and hobbies? Because I've always followed the traditional definition: trolls are people who come to message boards and say inflammatory things for the sole purpose of causing people to spin out. They don't even necessarily believe the things they say, but they want to see who they can get to jump at the bait. Some of the traditional trolls are following the Socratic method of forcing people to analyze their own beliefs, but most modern trolls are just people with little personal power in their lives who want to feel important. If you don't argue with them, they'll occasionally snipe for a while but will eventually go away.

Basement dwellers and those who wipe cheeto dust on their sweaty "log lady" Tshirts and throw dirty underwear over their bong spills are just ... basement dwellers. Obnoxious but easily ignored. They don't care if you like them or not. They love themselves enough for both of you.

The other people who often falsely get called trolls (and I'm sensy on this one because it often includes me) are people who disagree with popular opinions, and people who are willing to call idiots out on their stupidity and unwarranted egos.

Trolls for me are the people who find amusement in posting nonsense for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of people. They zap the fun out of the conversation.

By the way, is that Betty Davis? 👠💄 Cool avatar. 😎

On another board.

They seem to be on🅿 pause. So that's good.

Your reply should be the definition of troll when you Google or read Wikipedia. 👍🏼

I suspect you are one. I'd be welling to bet you are. The question about what Jenner whispered to Rick was my first clue. Probably the same guy that used to post that same question repeatedly.

So what? Let the trolls come and play, they are easy to ignore. ;)

Lets just hope things don't start looking like the walking dead boards over at imdb. That place was toxic!

Thank you! I am filled with vitriol and contempt for all types of idiots, as any old lady deserves to be, but I am NOT a troll and am constantly in search of decent conversations about movies and tv.

Can we say fuck here? I know it's not on topic and this thread doesn't call for it, but I'm curious.

Well I guess you just found out.

I'm actually relieved. The language filters as IMDb always rankled. I graduated high school 36 years ago and don't need someone censoring me. I can censor myself just fine. Sometimes, however, one needs to use the word "shit" to make a specific point. Poo just doesn't have the same literary impact.

Plus censored boards always attract drama and mentally unstable people. I don't mind a little crazy around the edges, but I have limits to my tolerance. I'm crotchety.

I agree! It seemed as though the closure announcement was akin to leaving the cells and gates open at a prison!

Oh God. You know, I actually posted an answer to that idiot. It took me a few rounds of back and forth to realize he was a troll. And don't forget the question about who cuts the grass - how many times was that one asked?
