Ram, as I've told you before I respect a lot of people that hate my teams and have critical things to say. I don't require any sort of agreement at all. In fact I would say there are those I agree with that are trolls as well. Trolling is posting with the intent to incite a negative response. Doesn't matter who it is targeted at. If you post with the intent to elicit an emotional response and are unwilling to engage in any actual discussions you are probably a troll. If you believe I have unfairly characterized you as meeting any of that then it's easy to undo. I've never denied trolling myself. Hell, most people online at some point do given the only criteria for using that label. You did notice I said if you weren't stirring up the pot I would easily not have any issues with you. I don't tend to hold grudges.I admit to maybe mimicking the act of a slight in a first sentence then continuing to make a comment about a topic as I have seen a few Seahawks and other fans do here so far. But for the most part compared to the majority here I have just made comments about a team that you have no personal actual attachment to.
so ...your definition of trolling is someone saying something negative about a team you like and you taking it personal. pay close attention from here on in because you for the most part are the one slinging slights while I simply talk about the Seahawks. It doesn't matter whether you think the comments or funny or true or rude because I'm not talking about you. If you choose to take them personal and tell me I'm stupid for them, you are the one with problems and in effect doing the trolling.
I don't understand why so many care what label others give them though. I know others either don't like the word troll, or view the meaning as something entirely different, but is it worse than being called an asshole or some other insult? I would expect that most that I would use that label on probably already dislike me enough that they shouldn't care if I call them that, but maybe that doesn't apply to everyone.
