Internet trolls

[TygerTung]

Sometimes people accuse me of being a troll if my point of view isn't the same as theirs. I am always polite though, so not sure if it counts as being a troll?

Whether a poster is acting as a troll has more to do with how they present their point rather than the content of it in many cases from what I've seen. Drop a vitual hand genade into a discussion with no considered basis for that opinion, rather than offering a considered argument, is trolling so far as I'm concerned.

You might say that, and there is certainly something to be said for what you say, and I would agree, by saying that it is better to try and refute a point than attack the poster or the tone of their writing.
