Trolling?

so what does this mean trolling??? why are people accusing each other of trolling?

Trolling according to Wikipedia:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

There could be some personal issues between the two users spilling over into other threads. Or perhaps the person who replied is the real troll.

In either case, yes, not very nice.

Or perhaps, the person who replied is just confused. There are a lot of confused people on this forum. Must be something in the air.

i troll for hookers twice a week

Trolling can be humorous if done properly, not all trolls (verb) are harmful. Some troll posts are downright fucking hilarious. Of course there will always be some people who don't get the joke or are not amused when people waste bandwith to have a few laughs when there could be serious discussion going on, but I don't really give a fuck about them.

Trolling is basically, getting people to temporarily believe some outrageous shit before they realize how ridiculous they were for believing it. Laughter ensues. That's why, when people ask ridiculous questions, people think they're trolling.

edit: I troll here and there too, I'm not making any denigrating slurs when I call you out for trolling, mr. "my single 11w cfl burned my plants!!!"

Xcon makes a good point.

I do believe the video post was a joke, another internet thing called Rickrolling:

Rickrolling according to Wikipedia

Rickrolling was an Internet meme[1][2] that involved the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme was a bait and switch: a person provided a hyperlink that they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually took the user to Astley's video.

well see im a newbie and i didnt even catch the 11 watt thing as being a funny question this is just one of many ive seen before so i just had to ask. Because i thought it was a serious question then i saw you said he was trolling so i was confused. just wondering if before you call someone a troll in the newbie section you check and see if they are serious newbie because id hate to be called a troll for asking what some may consider a dumb question....... TY just my opinion

Urban dictionary is probably a site that could help you out motoxmom

Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards. When done in a moderated internet community, this can result in banning. When done to uptight people such as fundies, this can result in hilarity.
