excuse me what? the overarching point i was trying to convey was that standing up for myself wasn't working. i wasn't providing 'anecdotal' evidence i was providing personal experience you were supposed to come to your own conclusion based on what i had written. as for "lives ruined beyond...

"mean words mean words mean words mean words mean words mean words mean words mean words" its all i ever hear about when the discussion of bullying comes up. 'mean' 'hurtful' 'harsh' in words mean nothing to me, they meant nothing when i was being bullied in school and mean nothing now. As...

my girlfriend works at taco bell... rude customers and customers that hit on her are the norm, there not allowed to accept tips and can be fired for doing so. One of her coworkers was fired recently for accepting a tip... I understand this policy is in place to prevent begging for tips which...

there's a reason i stopped believing I'm human a while ago and dedicated myself to attempting to study them. and yet despite me outright asking for one no one has purposed a better name for it.

the idea is not to provoke anger, why does everyone keep coming back to this the idea is to provoke frustration that when snapped back out of the other party realizes their own position better. if something is seriously frustrating then the adult thing to do is to remove yourself from the...

which is why i brought up that im not 100% sure what to call it at that point. the definition i've been able to put together from observation is that trolling is a form of using subversive language to redirect the feelings and opinions of another person. its just used to redirect into anger...

i don't know what to say that i haven't said already, i only anticipated 4-5 replies then for the thread to die, take a look at some of my replies.

the problem arises when they are trying to use circular logic to solve the problem, you've got to break the chain to fix it. another problem is that people dont want to be 'told what to do' so attempting to explain the problem in the most forward way possible (the way i would have it...

one of the chief problems i have with the approach is that i don't have another name for it.

that's kinda the thing isn't it? everyone focuses on what they think they see in staid of attempting to read into what they don't. namely they see "trolling" as solely a vehicle for people to harass other people. i worded the first sentence very carefully, to distract the people who couldn't...

if people cant take a little abrasion, well i don't know what to say.

well i don't usually use this approach on forums because of that reason. its something i use when people bring me a problem they want solved on a 1 to 1 basis. i couldn't see myself playing the 'good guy' i play the bad guy because people don't view me as the 'good guy' because apparently he...

i think that you guys miss the point, there's an overt form of trolling in the form of directly insulting another person. such as name calling, the type i refer to is a more subversive type its the only form i use because the direct type gets you banned anywhere before you can snap your fingers...

If by means of what would normally be considered 'trolling' the reaction you intend to incite is to get someone to stop and actually think about what you said and what they are about to say? For example I've been using a technique like this for years to teach people things they want to know...

it makes me depressed to see that the general view is that the victim is at fault. is the victim at fault in standard abuse? it feels like the concensus is that the bullies would not bully if the victim was not present, wich is simply not true, if the demographics the victim is pulled from is...
