    And, btw, why are you using the definition I gave out now? I thought it was authoritarian? I'm taking it as an admission that you really were throwing "troll" around even though you didn't really know the what it is.

    It is authoritarian so I used it. What's wrong with it?

    Oh, you did not even attempt to defend yourself why you are not a troll. Given up already, huh? I'm taking it as an admission that you are a troll. Too easy. :grin:

    If you thought it's authoritarian, why use it then? You were able to say several people were trolls without resorting to using the definition I gave out. So why are you using my definition now.

    You adjusted your description of the guys you were saying were trolls from this:

    to this:

    too, which better suits the definition I gave. And you've ignored this fact after I pointed it out several times.

    So, did you know what a troll is before I pointed it out to you or not?


    If you are feeling that you're getting trolled, it's OK.

    Of course. You are attempting to troll me simply because you are a troll. What else would a troll do anyway? But it has been a fragile attempt with no success. I'd advise to work harder. Maybe you should go to the troll sites to learn more about trolling. You suck at it. :grin:

    Because using your preferred definition to defeat you gives me the most satisfaction. Sorry for being so honest with you.

    OK.

    Now let's get back to whether or not you knew what a troll is before I pointed it out to you.

    So you admitted to have been defeated. LOL.

    Of course I did. Otherwise how could I spot you as a troll?

    Your definition? Wen did you steal it? It's a definition that you prefer. Don't attempt to steal.

    OK, if you're petty enough to argue semantics.

    The definition I gave.

    But, again, what's your definition for troll?

    It's not my definition. You mean my preferred definition for troll? Unlike other people, I do not steal.

    I like both the wikipedia and the knowyourmeme definition, still trying to decide which one I prefer. You?

    Why are you using my reference?

    Wikipedia?... Oh, well, I'll humor you. So, how does Wikipedia's definition make these guys trolls?

    Can I just say:

    You can keep trying to spin the truth but you are not smart enough to deny the fact.

    You read my post #222. And then you apply the Wikipedia definition on it. You will fin out how. Don't be lazy. But if you are really this lazy, I don't want to help you either.

    No. This is your description of the guys you're accusing to be trolls prior to you revising them, as I pointed out. You revised your description of these guys to something that better fits the knowyourmeme definition I provided in post 222.

    You say you used a Wikipedia definition to say these guys are trolls in your original description (the one I just quoted in posted 256). How does the Wikipedia definition apply to these guys being trolls with?

    This is the wikipedia definition:

    However, in your original description,

    No mention of anything akin to "provoking readers into an emotional" response outside of case 2.

    And why did you give knowyourmeme as a reference you used? That was my reference. I think you just googled (or baidu'd) a reference when I asked you to give me one.

    It doesn't matter. All of them, before or after, are good descriptions and solid proofs that they are trolls.

    Are you saying no one can use that reference after you have declared it "your reference"? Do you own it?:eek:
