A troll's real definition can vary from the user or the reader's perceptions. A popular type is the malicious troll who relentlessly aims to gain the control, despite the implications and consequences. It's rage is untempered by anything resembling logic or patience, or the self awareness to see that their every barbed word is a paradox. A second kind of troll is one who sees that this troll is more than just a hateful machine, but recognises it more as an abused dog chasing it's tail in front of the owners it bites in hopes for an outreached hand. These trolls are often not truly malicious, yet will engage in similiar behaviour to the first if they detect the manifestation of insecurities and entitlement becoming less of an abstract concept, but a concrete one with real life consequences. The third kind of troll, is the sort of magical creature that AwwSugar and FETCHER defeated for me in the girl's bathrooms, in our first year at Hogwarts
now THAT'S a damn ANSWER... aside from my not knowing what "meta" means (in your usage of it) or "joeks", which could be "jokes" but i'm not sure cuz i'm not privy to what seems like a whole world of internet terminology (is this "leetspeak"?!? i've heard of that!! i'm so lame.)

anyway. hermione. you seem to know a lot about people. thank you as well this succinct reply. (even though i don't get to know what the third kind is.)

If you were to walk into a bar and pick a fight with everyone, would you accuse them of ganging up on you?

The third kind is a joke, as in, trolls that exist in legend and folklore. Like me. But unlike those cold creatures, who live under bridges and jump out and attack unwary passers-by, I have a heart.

Oh wait! Sssh! Here comes an unwary passer-by...

To be more serious, I see a troll as someone who really is not interested in a forum, or a discussion, so much as creating arguments, bad feeling and making themselves feel superior to everyone else. Like someone running into a debating society and shouting "You're all queer!" It's someone who does things purely to be noticed and make a fuss, usually negatively. Someone who wants all the focus on them, and doesn't in any other way contribute to the forum.

That's how I read it, anyway.

Anytime you are confused about memes online just head over to know your meme. They have a pretty extensive page on trolling and the different types.

Trolling | Know Your Meme

Anyways, why is Zelda always saving the princess?

lol. i think my main problem with the forum framework is that i find it very hard to hone in on subtle things when everything is made of text. ie. i thought hermione was totally serious when she said there was a third kind. whether it be from lack of experience or lack of some mysterious facility, i currently just don't have that thing that tells me when someone is joking unless it is (perhaps more than) blatantly obvious. i'm okay with that as not knowing everything is perfectly fine to me, but as i alluded in my OP, it's definitely got me into some trouble in the past.

anyway... thanks for clearing that up TH.

so, i've been doing a little reading via knowyourmeme. it's interesting. as i read the below quote it dawned on me why i've been accused of trolling. i just really am that naive when it comes to a lot of things, and generally i don't let pretense or etiquette get in the way of finding common ground in terms of understanding. i will ask pretty much whatever question comes to mind, and i will feel totally innocent when i'm doing it. i would rather embrace my naivety than deny or hide it. it's just the way i am, in real life and online. if i didn't ask all the questions i do i wouldn't know anything. forever a "n00b" i suppose.

In the late 1980s, Internet users adopted the word “troll” to denote someone who intentionally disrupts online communities. Early trolling was relatively innocuous, taking place inside of small, single-topic Usenet groups. The trolls employed what the M.I.T. professor Judith Donath calls a “pseudo-naïve” tactic, asking stupid questions and seeing who would rise to the bait. The game was to find out who would see through this stereotypical newbie behavior, and who would fall for it. As one guide to trolldom puts it, “If you don’t fall for the joke, you get to be in on it."

I don't think it was directed at you.
