They don't wanna ruin their original accounts so create fake ones to really vent their true insecurities in troll form lol. Right bbfs4ever? 😉  

I agree with u. Replying to any of their bs post encourage them to keep posting. Best way to address is by ignoring them. Although the board is already boring enough than non trolls participate in troll posts to keep the board alive. I saw some pretty awesome people slowly drift away from the board due to this... Including me.

"Two studies published in 2013 and 2014 have found that people who are identified as trolls tend to have dark personality traits and show signs of sadism, antisocial behavior, psychopathy, and machiavellianism.[41][42] The 2013 study suggested that there are a number of similarities between anti-social and flame trolling activities[41] and the 2014 study suggested that the noxious personality characteristics known as the "dark triad of personality" should be investigated in the analysis of trolling, and concluded that trolling appears "to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."[42] Their relevance is suggested by research linking these traits to bullying in both adolescents and adults. The 2014 study found that trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting hot-button issues to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortunate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, merciless amusement. This is why novice Internet users are routinely admonished, "Do not feed the trolls!" The 2013 study found that trolls often have a high expectation of what it means to be successful, which is higher than they are able to attain, and this results in them resenting others who think they are successful but who fall below their standards."

My supplemental theory is that there is a species of TER Troll who is in the hobby in the first place because he is lonely, isolated, socially incompetent, and has difficulty socializing with women & therefore needs to buy sex. Makes sense that such a person who engage in troll activities in order to attract attention, express anger, and in his view inflict pain.

My delivery is sometimes sarcastic but my questions are usually to provoke thought. The hooker world is not all peaches and cream. Would you prefer that everything was soft balled around here? Should all negative comments be stifled? Should we pretend that we see everything through rose colored glasses?  

From Wikipedia:

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.
____________________________________________________________________

I can understand the off-topic and part but it sounds like the internet definition applies to anybody who asks a provocative question or has a provocative comment. It sounds like you have to be an ass kisser or get labeled a troll.

You know, how some people are very extreme with their fetishes, but cannot explain how or why they got that way?
I've met guys who cannot get hard at all unless they're being humiliated, or spanked, or urinated on or whatever.... whatever their "kink" is, they NEED that to get off.... but they couldn't tell you "why" if you put a gun to their heads.  

Yeah, like that.  They enjoy stirring up trouble, pissing people off, and might even get sexual gratification out of it... but to actually explain it so that others can understand or relate?  I'm not sure that's really possible.

Ignore, play along or flame.

Just have fun with it.

So many people here so uptight. They need to get laid.

Any idea where that can happen?

...that would talk about moisturizing cream and products produced by Rubbermaid to stick in the girls cooters?

At JD University, we don't need studies.

Common sense is the rule. LOL

Now, make yourself useful and link a pic when you reply and give me a chuckle, you fucking troll hater. :D

I guess I may have called you a troll a time or two but I don't really think you are.  I'll refrain from saying what I DO think you are.  LULZ!

Does anybody really believe in psychology? To me it's the "science" that makes astrology respectable. I don't need any studies either.

Trolls seem to drive everyone nuts.  bbfs4ever puts up a provocative OP and everyone goes nuts.  Either they start yelling, "Do not feed the troll!" (thereby feeding him) or they rant and rave about how awful and mean he is (thereby feeding him).  This is a great environment for trolls, hence we will keep seeing lots of them. I think it's entertaining as fuck. LOL!

As you pointed out, Melissa, it makes for good entertainment.  Another useful function is that the rest of us can blow off steam by jumping all over them (case in point, see my snarky reply to OTM above).  I believe it was GaG who coined the term "board pinata" to describe the trolls that we get to dump all our negative emotions on.

Or maybe this is her way of trolling the board? lol

Trolls have always been a part of the internet in general and TER in particular. Even Melissa right in the middle of bashing our latest troll confesses she finds it entertaining. As I said, she answered her own question.

As for trolls themselves, some are entertaining, some are not. BBFS is an "adequate" troll, most of the time he takes the lazy way out and posts the old tried and trued troll topics that are guaranteed to get a rise out of the stupid people, but simply bore the rest of us. Sometimes however he will reach down and post something close to original and quite entertaining. He still hasn't reached Udo or Rtucky status, or even the level of Hirogen or Jack_Schitt, but he's still a whole lot better than some of the truly boring trolls like MtdewKing. or NEGangsta,  

I suggest we only feed him when he earns it, I think we should hold our trolls to a higher standard

A troll is a troll right? I can live with that. People with multiple acc posing as both good people and trolls with their other acc is pretty sociopathic not to mention pathetic lol

It keeps the board interesting. Otherwise it would be full of threads like how do you pronounce TER as a word.

A troll is a true provocateur, out to stir up shit such as the OP and the ones mentioned above by GaG.  A piñata is a feckless fool such as FG, who everyone dumps on but he comes back for more.  TER has had some major pinatas in the past such as lungman (a/k/a The Dungbeetle) but the greatest piñata of all has been permanently banned and his handle cannot be mentioned on pain of banishment.  He was the best!  We can only hope for a piñata like him to return some day.

Yes, but there is no GOOD trolling in this thread. It's about quality trolling. We don't seem to have that.

but trolls with "multiple personalities" has always been the case here.  

It's even been rumored that in the "old days" some of the moderators would create troll aliases just to "stir the pot" I of course can neither confirm or deny the validity of these rumors. lol
