I don't see anything wrong with trolling. In today's PC culture that vilifies free speech and opinion, the only reasonable alternative is to discuss reality through an anonymous venue; aka the internet.

Maybe if people would actually grow up and learn to handle reality, then we would have approximately zero trolls and a better quality of life for everyone.

So what the study shows is that people are more weary of a new and confusing technology when other people are vehemently opposed or for the technology in question.

Heaven forbid people are skeptical when there isn't a clear answer.

This. It's like F4F ran this study. I'm of the belief that solid trolling is needed to keep a forum interesting. Need a unifying enemy to pwn to keep things interesting. The real problem is bad trolls, and butthurt-ness when ppl disagree with them.

Your imaginary persona that you have ascribed to me doesn't fit what I already posted in this thread.

A bigger problem is the majority of idiot drones who march to the same beat and love to cry out "troll!" when individuals with superior intellects point out the errors being prescribed by the moronic majority.

Primary example of what COA is talking about. Most people would just brush off his post, but not not the butt hurt.

I think trolling on message boards is tame compared to trolling on news sites and youtube.

I frequently hit Dispatch and DDN and some of the comments just leave you shaking your head.
