Why do we keep feeding the trolls? ( Archived) (48)

As long as their not hateful, or spouting vitriolic crap towards other posters, I don't mind them.
After all, the internet - and sites like this are open and free to all.
What gives me the right to censor another?

Sometimes they can even be amusing and add humor to dry threads. dunno

dateadave: Also I think word troll has lost it's original meaning over recent years.

Originally a troll was someone who pretends to be someone they are not online.

These days it's more someone who I think is deliberately trying to anger me while I'm online.

Who,or should I say exactly what is a troll. I've seen that word used so much and used against others but I think who and who is not a troll is extremely subjective. I've seen people with strong opinions called a troll. I've seen two,or more people debating/fighting and one usually gets called the troll when they all participated in the debate/fight.
