Would you say I was a troll?

Do you live under a bridge?

Of course you are a troll the same as 100% of posters on here. The difference is that you can take some flack whereas the likes of the thing suffering from Corns and the Welsh bimbo can not!

Yes I would say.

A lot Why? Troll, bed time.

After a cursory examination of your Y!A, I would say you are not "a troll." I am not sure whether you go trolling once in a while, but the fact that I don't know suggests that you don't troll very often, if at all.

"Trolling" is a fishing metaphor. When troll fishing, you drag a fishing line through the water, with a baited hook, to give the impression that the bait is alive; and the fish grabs it and is caught.

Trolling on Y!A is posting a question that is designed to upset people and make them express outrage, just for the fun of it. One example is the plethora of questions describing Black people as gorillas or monkeys. I have never heard anybody do this in real life. These trolls are posting these questions just to get an emotional reaction. They probably not anti-Black; some may be Black trying to provoke Y!A users. In other words, they are just doing it for the fun of it.

An answer may be trolling as well as a question, but it will not catch as many fish.

Now, I troll now and then. For instance, I once said that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was Hitler.

Obviously he's not, but I wanted to express my disdain for him. My answer got reported as a violation, which I didn't contest because it was not a real answer to the question.

Most of the time people don't report minor trolling like that; but it is against Y!A's Community Guidelines.

Now, you may have violated Y!A guidelines once in a while, but nothing I would bother to report.

An example of trolling in real life is the people who, after Trump got elected, went to Starbucks for coffee and gave their names as Trump. This meant the barrista had to write "Trump" on the cup and call out "Trump" when it was ready. So apparently hearing the name Trump caused a lot of people who voted against him to get upset, so barristas didn't want to do this. The CEO of Starbucks is anti-Trump too, which makes Starbucks a target for this kind of trolling. But they still get paid for the coffee.

I thought you were a hippo

Trolls don't ask for public confirmation or validation of the activity they are involved in. a troll is someone who attempts to elicit an emotional response by using a seemingly sincere platform. As such, many see this as merely "unpopular" but they completely miss the entire point of the discourse. Some trolling is done to lead the ignorant and stubborn by the nose to an obvious conclusion to which the audience is seemingly too dense, ignorant, or stubborn to find on their own. This is pretty rare these days. In other cases, trolling is done by pathetic people who enjoy sucking the life out of beneficial dialogs. Meanings, its a sad cry for attention. Usually the later are people who are seriously emotionally damaged and trolling is their primary source of social interaction.

I can't tell who you are on my phone, but if you have to ask you probably are.
