My friend someone can troll by accident. As in be a troll without realizing it. Is that even possible? What is a troll and why does everyone give a different definition of it?
I don't think it's possible to do it by accident since trolling involves intent. I can see how one could incorrectly perceive another as a troll, though.
Sometimes, my extreme sarcasm may seem like trolling, but it's just me trying to prove a point. Usually not here though.
Isn't that what you're doing now?
Are you being serious about accidentally trolling, or are you pretending to be serious about accidentally trolling so you can intentionally troll? Are you trolling us? Am I trolling you?
Is the troll trolling trolls, or are the trolls trolling the troll trolling trolls?
A troll is anyone who intentionally says or does something to provoke someone or make them angry, or to trick them into doing something (often through false information). The key word here is "intentionally" - you can't troll by accident, because trolling involves deliberately manipulating circumstances and emotions to get the desired outcome. This may sometimes involve pretending to be incredibly ignorant, which is why many actually-ignorant people try to cover their error by claiming they were trolling, or mistaken to be trolling, but if that wasn't the original intent, it's not a troll.
I think I do this all the time. Ive been accused on several forums of trolling. Im just an insensitive asshole who says random things though.
Perhaps. I'm not saying it's not impossible, I'm just saying it's not quite possible.
