Well who knew? Thanks for the IT update.
FYI: There are actually 8 deadly sins nowadays, #8 being ''Trolling''.
Trolling:
The
art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the
internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame.
An essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, b) making unsubstantiated, unrepresentative comments particularly after appearing out of the blue, or c) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.
Trolling requires deceiving; any trolling that doesn't involve deceiving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccessful troll.
Signs that your trolling is successful:
*Getting people actually to reply to your posts (well done)
*Your victim screaming in all-caps at you.
*Personal attacks (Calling you a retard, idiot, etc).
*Being an
Internet Tough Guy.
*Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort.
Signs that your trolling is unsuccessful:
*Your targets identifying you as a troll.
*Identifying yourself as a troll. (Some do it without even knowing)
*Your efforts being ignored.
*Being counter-trolled.
And imo if you are not trolling then you are here with dubious intent.
One or the other. Please don't insult us all by saying you're only here to proffer your boundless wisdom and insight, I for one 'aint buying what you're selling.
(And I'm not selling what you want to pick-up on the cheap).
Welcome to the party that never ends! Glad you've joined us.
Will you be having a ''10 cents'' party with your mates in the foreseeable?
Thanks for your input....GLTALTH
