"If a comment hurts someone's feelings, bruises their ego, or if they just disagree with it I think someone could say they were being 'trolled'." That's part of the problem with defining (and dealing with) it. This statement implies that trolling is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, the beholder usually is the one that applies the word "trolling" to a post. However, we don't always behold accurately. Trolling is really based on the intent behind the comment. That's not always easy to determine. Thus, we end up with all sorts of problems. The beholder is not always correct. I don't envy the Mods & Admins.
Before they made me they broke the mold!
