Troll is a word that, generally speaking, has been diluted and gets thrown around freely these days. To me a troll is someone who deliberately posts controversial, abusive or inflammatory comments online with the specific intention of winding someone up and provoking an emotional reaction from them. But plenty of people these days will use it to mean “someone who repeatedly disagreed with me, or expressed an opinion I don’t like” and that’s definitely not trolling someone.
Your bang on the money mate
i like to think of myself as a bit of veteran of the internet and things have changed. In the last 5 or so years. Back in the day when the pool got closed and 4chan raids where writhe trolling was comparable with banter, some went too far and entered into cyber bullying territory but more often than not it was banter or a comical disagreement.
now if your opinion is unpopular your a troll and if you disagree with a lefty your a nazi troll ?
