When their opinion differs from the Majority?
Why are they jumped on or dismissed as not being genuine?Surley the M.o.d.s & ignore button is there for a reason.Also some of the the endless repeated threads could also be genuine as peeps are not here 24/7 commonsense tells you not to click on them but these also get an abrupt reaction.This is cyberspace but sometimes feels like the school playground.
Rant over I feel better now!

It's not just a difference of opinion. It's the way it's couched and deliberate use of derogitory and inflaming language.

It's to do with all that hiding under bridges and menacing of passing domesticated livestock

Not forgetting the awful fluffy hair

people usually refer to trolls for different reasons,

some people call people that post chit chat a spam troll

some call the ones that come on for a debate an argument troll

everyone has a right to post what they like if people don't like it they shouldn't read it. i do hate it when i see "gangs" though........but i will stop now or this thread will disappear

Don't forget to add the spiky neon hair

Are dirty hairy feet a good indicator?

Do I win a prize?

I think that's a more likely indicator of a hobbit

Hmm, I knew a lot of male hobbits when I was an art student then!

I don';t think it's a difference of opinion
as much as being wind up merchants,
constantly making posts, just to annoy,
and seek attention.

I agree & thanks to all that took the time to reply.
I guess it's a case of the interpretation of the written word.I shall don my body armour & go back from whence I came.
Special thanks should go to Evolution 2.0

but until you actually read a post there is often no way of identifying what the content is likely to be cos often the title of a thread bears no resemblance to what lies withing and then by the time you have read it and decided its a load of old tosh its way too late - as for 'gangs' well, they know who they are and shame on them

if you choose to read it, you can chose to stop, if i decide it is a load of old tosh to me i move on, but that doesn't mean it is not appreciated by someone.

the "gangs" should be embarrassed hiding behind a computer screen to pick on people during weak times, but there will always be that element to the human nature i guess

I def move on if its some elongated load of old twaddle but if it's short (but not so sweet) Ive usually read it before it registers that its tosh inspired - as for the 'gangs' or 'cliques' they are to be pitied cos obviously they dont have a life if they have to get their kicks in that manner

Personally I consider a troll to be someone who deliberately posts offensive comments just to get a reaction. I also think that people who only post on BB when there is a race issue tend to be trolls particularly those who usually populate far right websites and who are encouraged to come here and just stir up trouble

i know i annoy some as i just sit here chatting mainly. i think we all annoy someone, but its how we choose to deal with it once we are aware of it that shows the inner person. i can't see why there isn't room for everyone on here tbh and some of the "trollish" comments i juat find plain funny, i think it depends how they are read same as everything on here
