Reply To: PSA About the Use of the Phrase “Trolling” 📢

“there are trolls who write posts for the sake of riling people up and causing machlokes regardless of their views.”

That’s not trolling. When David Duke publishes his Antisemitism, it’s not trolling; he really believes the stuff. It riles people up because he’s a jerk, not a troll.

“Neville, this forum has its own slang”

Yes it does, but “trolling” is not CR specific slang. It’s a popular internet slang word which just happens to be misused a lot on this site.
