What Makes YOU a Troll?
By Virago 81 Comments
That's right, you heard me. We've all thrown around a NO U comment, posted the occasional star trek facepalm, maybe even put on your robe and wizard hat. 
But that doesn't make you a troll. Even visiting the same threads over and over doesn't make you a troll. Nor does stalking a fellow user and posting on their wall all day qualify as troll behaviour.
What makes someone a troll is pissing other people off. As long as people like you, they're gonna put up with you (unless you hate star wars). Now before you spam my wall in protest, hold on to those knickers and let me finish my train of thought. If a well-to-do user posts "this thread sucks" on, say, THIS topic, people would probably call him or her a lulz killer (wink) but not much more. Now if that same comment is posted by a trouble maker, he or she is gonna get a PM or a slap on the wrist due to multiple offenses. 
You're grinding your teeth right now. I hear it. Your dentist is not going to approve, so I'll jump to the point. It really pisses people off when you do the same thing over and over after you've been asked to cut it out. No one (well maybe this guy) wants to see the same post 10 times on the same thread, watch the same pictures posted over and over, or be attacked with a bombardment of rude, personal comments. Then the brute squad gets called in to put foot to ass, because you're pissing off other users who are far nicer and much more well behaved than you.
You Are The Brute Squad.
So what makes you a troll? Pissing me off. So don't get all warm and fuzzy inside when someone at last acknowledges your presence and tells you to screw off; it's not a compliment. If you want attention, be a decent human being and gain the respect of your peers some other way.
In the words of the Red team:
Suck it blue.
