<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 7783648, member: 83738&quot;]Trolling has become synonymous with arguing.&nbsp; If a person is arguing with someone, they are not trolling.&nbsp; They are just arguing.</p><p><br /></p><p>In reality trolling is a completely different sport.&nbsp; A troll simply throws out a statement which on the surface seems harmless knowing that future levels of the discussion will devolve into stupidity.&nbsp; A good troll doesn&#039;t even need to get involved in the argument.&nbsp; They can just sit back after it has begun and watch others embarrass themselves.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example,&nbsp; I could start a thread asking, &quot;what do you think of Dan Carr/CAC/other controversial topic?&quot;&nbsp; Then I could just sit back and watch the argument play out.&nbsp; A couple excellent examples from this forum are Ed Wood and that newer guy who was pretending he was spending his future fortune on coins (probably the same person if you ask me).&nbsp; They start very simple dumb threads knowing that people will bite and the discussion will continue for a week.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The term itself refers to the form of fishing, where the fisherman dangles his lure from the back of the boat passively waiting for a bite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
