[QUOTE="admartian, post: 577670, member: 38996"] I see trolling as dangling an inflammatory comment as bait in order to get a rise (and not in a ball-busting way; for me at least, in order for it to count as ball-busting, it has to be that both parties are involved on it) out of someone. But someone (say Person #1) trying to get a rise out of someone (Poster #2), then for Poster #2 to take that bait; and Poster #1 suddenly calls them out as being "strung out", "wound up" whatever - is trolling. If you want to say something a certain way (i.e. bring up certain points and leave it at that etc) then that can be counted out as "ball busting" or light heard jibbing; and thus must expect a non-light hearted response. So opposing views are fine for me; just be sure to stay civil and try not to ascribe certain personal attributes to someone, and we can have a fun, civil debate. :) On that note, I don't think anyone can see you as a troll or over-the-top/anything like that, das; though I do spend a good amount of my time around 'Murican (EFF YEAH!) posters (Ravens boards, gaming forums etc) so I might be used to it. :p [/QUOTE]
