For many people, the characterizing feature of trolling is the perception of intent to disrupt a community in some way. Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet culture: "Do not feed the trolls."

And it also gives the administrator grounds for either placing a member in moderated status or banning them from the forum, which only takes a few seconds to accomplish that goal.

Hello DJJerk,

I edited out my orig. post here.

People keep telling me that I shouldn't judge, that only God can.

I have a big mouth and will retract what I said, so others can be happy.

Now, if only the people that have told me that around about would follow their own advice we could all just agree to agree or say nothing at all, that way no one can be called judgmental.

I openly apologize to you and the MODs, for my attitude.

Thanks,

Duke
