BEN

- "It just makes me happy when I can make someone angry. It sounds weird but I kind of feed off their anger. The angrier I can get them, the better I feel. I'd feel responsible but I wouldn't care. I've pretty much lost all hope for humanity anyway, I don't believe that anything can save people."

SARAH

- "I randomly targeted a lady for no reason, humiliated her for no reason - just to be a bitch. Looking back now it was petty.. I’m one of those remorseful trolls."

JAMES

- "On gaming sites, if you don’t troll you’re pretty much seen as someone who is sucking up to the site moderators. It's just my mentality to make it personal and a lot of people take things way too seriously – especially on social networking sites."

OVERLOADED

- "What a load of carp"

"Social distance can cause a 55-year-old climate change sceptic with a job and a mortgage to behave like a spastic donkey with strange malicious behaviour," said Professor James Heathers, of the University of Sydney.

Only mods need to do that.

There are plenty of different types of trolling. I personally don't have a problem with the funny trolls.

Funny is very subjective though.

I realise not everyone has the same sense of humour, if any at all.

I've been accused of being a troll on here because I had a differing opinion to a certain ex-moderator who suffered - and still does - delusions of adequacy.

Quality thread!

Sometimes all it takes is a different opinion for people to scream TROLL.

Talk back radio announcers are glorified trolls. There are many newspaper trolls like Bolt and Rucci.
It isn't a new phenomenon, it's just that the interwebs gives everyone the opportunity to join in the fun.

Bit of difference to people who put a name and face behind their shit-stirring.

Lol, you trolled the **** out of the Politics forum calling everyone leftwing loonies. At least have the balls to admit it rather than be a squib and pull the gutless opinion card

I'm pretty sure Booney is actually David Boon.

... and A Mum is a mum

and I'm really Red & Black just trying to throw everyone off my real identity

So just checking here...
It's wrong to avoid the swear filter b y t y p i n g l i k e t h i s , but as soon as you put up a picture with the 'F' or 'S' word, then go nuts...

Cool, good to know.
