re: Admins Please - what technically is "trolling"?

Thanks for the swift kick to the crotch at the outset.

This is actually the thread I received my "final" warning for.

Because you said "don't shoot the messenger", it comes off as passive aggressive.

You are probably right - but my intent was to make clear that the title of the thread was from the news article not me.

"hot button"

You said hot button.

This is not an article from a major news source

You should check out MrSec.com. Probably not a national brand but it is really good and usually very fair/balanced. It's not bleacher report or Clay Travis.

it is a topic that has traditionally caused a great deal of animosity from the bourgeois and/or posters who lack a sense of SEC perspective or history.

---

I know it can cause lively debate, but I didn't say anything really that I would think is over-the-line. Also, I believe it is not the first thread on the topic. Why should I get a final banning warning for this type of thread. Especially for "trolling LSU fans" - I mean hell the article says LSU AND UF need to stop whining.

Hope this helps.

Roll Tide.

This explains how I end up with so many downvotes.

I believe this thread has already been anchored but for the record I really did want to know what the line was (this wasn't to troll or blow-off steam).

I have been warned twice. Once for starting a thread comparing LF to Lacy (where I was complementary to both players) and the second and "final" warning for posting a news article that says LSU and UF should stop complaining about permanent opponents because who is on top is cyclical. I was pretty civil in both threads while several LSU fans were not - but i'm the troll? Am I classified as a troll because I don't RA the people who are RA'ing me? That seems like a shitty system.

I generally completely refrain from personal attacks though they seem to be extremely common (when they are against me I usually don't respond and try to stay on topic).

I think Admins are wrong in labeling me a troll - but at the end of the day I am not in charge (and truthfully, saying I am not a troll is probably exactly what a troll would say).

You already don't like me and tomorrow is Mother's Day after all, so I will abstain.

ETA - I think you just called me a troll

quote:

ETA: went back and checked. I have called two people a "douche" neither was an LSU fan (one a Bama fan and one ATM). I deleted both and apologized to the ATM fan the next day.

So you didn't apologize to the Bama fan?

There you go!

REC doin' work.
