You're just being a troll, continuing to make OPINION statements as if they are facts.

Case in point. Stating opinions as facts does not make someone a troll.

Because it's the Internet and it can be very difficult to tell what some people's intentions are. They could be "good trolls" and that's why their intentions aren't clear...because they're so sly about their malice, and this often happens I've noticed with Ts, very rational IxTx types who are good at covering their tracks, because they didn't use certain key words, then they can't get in trouble. Even though they know they were trolling you, you can't prove it. I am of the opinion that IxTx types are the most insidious trolls, though xxFP or ExTP trolls may bring more fun or laughter or obvious drama for which they are sometimes immediately banned.

But you really can't tell what people's intentions are. Like seriously one day I was making fun of myself for reading Elfboy's thread title wrong, and he totally went off, thinking I was personally attacking him or calling him a liar, and I was like :huh: :wacko: and was truly utterly surprised. And I actually like Elfboy so I felt bad that he thought I was viciously attacking him, because I wasn't, I have taken playful jabs at him in the past, but they were playful and not ...evil. I don't like to REALLY hurt people.

However, there are people who do; those people do like to hurt others, it amuses them to get a rise out of anyone they can, or they have a bone to pick with you and are trying to get you riled up or even in trouble or banned for arguing with them. These trolls are insidious but I can usually spot them because they tend to never apologize or say they were joking, and they tend to personally insult you repeatedly, sometimes arriving in a thread *specifically* to focus on you and not the topic of the argument. Gish does this to me a lot, and I'm not sure why I haven't reported him more, honestly.

:laugh:

It's cool when it remains humorous or marginal, I actually like JTGs later trolling style he developed (I'm speaking as though trolls are painters or musicians LOL) on other web sites, where he would make constant dry one-liners and I actually went through his posts one day and realized he had said NOTHING of substance in about two weeks, that nearly every post he made was some sarcastic or biting one-liner. But he didn't harass anyone in particular to the point that they were upset, so it was very subtle, and usually very funny. I also admired his efforts here when he had a dupe account for over two or three months, and he would say things like "have a nice day!" and do this mocking impression of some kind of 1950's television ISFJ.

But spamming people with shit porn typically will get you insta-banned.

I just don't like truly mean trolls. Of course, "truly mean" can also vary on whether the troll likes you or not.
