Trolling that ends in anything other than the subject feeling dumb or embarrassed, is no longer trolling

You could say a serial murderer killing prostitutes was trolling its victims, luring them into a place when he could kill them. Come on bro! The art of trolling is clear. It just gets a bad rap because someone always feels stupid as a result.

Actually, you know that feeling you get when you feel embarrassed for someone else?  You know, that excruciatingly unbearable feeling you get when you cringe because you know the other person isn't even aware of their embarrassing behavior?

That's the feeling I get when I see people abuse the word 'troll'.

Quote
I mean they lied to them/making them do something dumb or something they will regret.

I don't mind if people use the world troll when they mean people who actually trolled someone on the internet. By trolled I mean they lied to them/making them do something dumb or something they will regret.

Not in the sense as the teenagers use it nowadays, there is just so much wrong with this generation, don't even get me started.

I'm trying to get ppl back to using "trolling" for its true meaning, like u just stated, its hard tho, mass media along with all the kids confuse it for general nasty behavior or downright criminal actions.

so if I get you to donate all your bitcoins to me that would make me a troll?

Snatch pounding doesn't apply to most of us here, how about an "ass reaming"?

Sure, if you're into that kind of thing.

George Carlin once said very accurate phrase that is 100% you: pretentious cocksucker. People are free to express themselfes as they want.

This thread is from like 2 1/2 years ago.

We can go round and round if you'd like -- I'm a pretentious cocksucker; you're a pretentious cocksucker for explaining why I'm a pretentious cocksucker while failing to recognize that I, too, am freely expressing "myselfes."

The OP was written at a time in which there was a particular emphasis on garnering the appeal of the masses, including grandma and grandpa.  Rather than just making a thread about nerds in a nerdery failing miserably at understanding human psychology and marketing, I focused on something I found to be particularly distasteful, childish, and annoying.  I'm well aware that I come off in much the same way; such is the trouble with a thread devoted to criticism -- projection is a truism.

Actually, I'd prefer you just call me a dick, because I think that anyone that uses the word 'troll' more than once a month deserves a brutal snatch-pounding.

What are you, a bunch of nerds or something?  Quit using it.  It makes otherwise intelligent people look like little children name-calling.  Find something more clever or just keep quiet.  I would love to see the dudes discussing the NYSE on CNBC being like "TROLL!   TROLL!   TROLOLOLOL!"  Seriously.  This is the reason none of you scored any pussy in high school.

what if this is a troll post? Cheesy

Dude, you brought me out of bitcointalk.org retirement with this post. It was so moving that I actually signed in in order to post this in response. Enjoy!

This one goes out to all my trollies!
