Velvet D Coolette Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Here we go, finally! I've been working on this for a while and would love to know what you guys think: The Lost Art of Trolling It's for the teen help site I help out on, to point out the benefits of trolling if done well. And how much of a pillock you can look if you don't do it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inc. Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 troll is an individual who enters an internet space where people are communicating and disrupts the proceedings there Just a small tweak, troll is an individual who enters an internet space where people are communicating and intentionally? disrupts the proceedings there Seen a few people disrupt the proceedings even when they are sincerely trying to help.

This is certainly true, but I mention further on in the essay that some people troll even when they don't realise they're doing it. I take your point, but I have in mind Chicka, if you care to look again. Anyway, thank you for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishfae Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Lots of good examples there. What a great endeavor too! I think too often we assume things are common sense, but I think some people, especially people who grew up immersed in certain aspects of culture, don't have the distance to see why some things should and shouldn't be done.

Guest Zanthious Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nicely done Enlightening for me too. Kinda makes me realize that in the past, I may have guilty of trolling without meaning to. Put's a new perspective on how you should do things sometimes. Good job.
