[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7781267, member: 112"]Well that's where we disagree about the definition. People like that, there are other words that have long been used to describe them - rude and or obnoxious. And while your eyes may see it one way, in my eyes someone being rude and or obnoxious simply does not classify them as being a troll. Of course I'll readily admit that the same kind of thing happens with the word rude, and just about any other word you can think of. Many people simply have their own definitions for words. For example, I myself have been called rude more than a few times. But that is because some see those who speak the truth bluntly and are very direct about it, and who do not candy-coat their comments in any way, well they see that as someone being rude. In other words they don't have a problem with someone disagreeing with them, but they do expect you to disagree in a "nice and friendly manner". And if you do not, well then that's just being rude. My reaction to that ? :rolleyes: It's not being rude at all, it's just being honest, and speaking bluntly, directly. And if you look the words up in the dictionary - blunt - (of a person or remark) uncompromisingly forthright. rude - offensively impolite or ill-mannered. Kinda sorta similar, maybe, but not really. I see the word troll in much the same way, but I think rude better describes the person you're describing than troll does. Chocolate and vanilla I guess.[/QUOTE]
