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

Syag: “my only answer to that is that if you weren’t where you shouldn’t be it wouldn’t be bothering you.”

Yes, probably true. You realize not everyone here is FFB? This thread was actually not meant to rile people up as a troll thread about trolling (as ingeniously creative and hilarious as that would be). The point was that you accomplish nothing by calling people with whom you disagree “trolls.”

““Trolling” isn’t CR-specific slang, but in CR slang, the word has a different meaning.”

OK, at least you admit it. It’s kind of like how the word “literally” is used incorrectly so commonly that there was talk of including the new (wrong) definition in the dictionary. I consistently hold out forever when it comes to the changing of grammar. For example, “they” will never be a singular pronoun in my mind no matter who says it is.

Avram, I heard the far right commentator claim that the Antisemitism online is mostly not real as it’s “just trolling.” I do NOT agree that this is true, but the point is that those types use “trolling” as a disguise on purpose.
