Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5106923" data-attributes="member: 19675">Well...not quite.Those are good words to post by, but my point was more along the lines of most people don't use the term in its most "Troll-y" form- you know, with the built in personal attacks that, without a doubt, popped up from time to time.Those reading the term will ask for clarification- and if they've seen the "troll-y" use before- its to ascertain whether or not the person is trolling, first and foremost, and secondarily to have a debate about the person's non-trolling use of the term.Those who troll with it that way will quickly be revealed, because they want to dig those spurs in.Those who don't will be faced with (at least some) people who are itching to counterstrike a troll, and even when faced with someone who is just expressing an emotional/perceptive opinion, will hound that person with logic and debate (although, in all fairness, with less vigor and determination than if confronted with an actual troll).Fruitlessly.The insult came from some who equate and use the term to describe their perceived "dumbing down" of the game, and who often describe 4Ed lovers as "morons" or "idiots"See this post here:And Majoru is absolutely right to be ticked off by that.The problem with that response to ALL uses of the word is that the insulting use is definitely a minority use.My take on broad terms is to assume the more charitable meanings until and unless someone gives me reason to think otherwise.</blockquote>
