What is trolling? Does the term come from trailing a lure, as in fishing? Or does it come from the Dungeons and Dragons creature who is only properly attacked by flames? I think it must be a linguistic conspiracy that both seem to fit – and a malicious one as people apparently have only greed as a motivation. Perhaps what is worst about the Catholic Church and it’s philosophies, is that it believes in good intentions. [Please note the sarcasm.]
This thread, however, might be more properly on Rant House. I leave it to the moderators to decide. It’s in Social Sciences as I thought the crux of the post had to do with language and society.
You have apparently fallen for the Wikipedian conspiracy. Posting online can not be any good – it only serves self-aggrandisement and greed and never information to force others to believe what you believe. …Or so I have learned from Detrop and Ouden.
(Also, you didn’t give an origin of the word “troll” which I have pointed out links fishermen with evil mind games.)
The morally unfortunate thing about this is that I even put in my footer that I’m trying to be nicer online. With some posters, I just can’t handle it.
