A troll is supposed to be a person that has critiques on everything, not a mythical being?
oh, so that's what a troll is.*whacks head.
thanks for pointing that out.
"Baboy" is Filipino for pig.

That is a very inaccurate definition of a troll.

A troll is a person who misbehaves to cause trouble or get attention. (I'm sure there is a better definition than that, though)

No, I think Gil was disagreeing with Turbo's disagreement regarding the other critiques, in a kind of sarcastic question rather than a definition.

Sarcasm is hard to convey on the internet.

Especially when you consider sarcasm can only be detected in the specific vocal intonations in a statement, unlike most types of ironic statements, which can be discerned as such, from the textual context only if so required.

A good idea is to leave sarcasm for when you're not on the internet, then, so that at least people may punch you in retaliation.

Actually, no, that's totally wrong, my definition was correct. Trolling is the art of seeing something wrong in every thread. Like, "please use caps and omg I saw a spelling error in the third sentence, now your thread doesn't count". Trolls are actually mostly highly respected forum members. Look it up if you don't believe me...

rabidbaboy: Not you, dude, you added positive, useful criticism and advice. The correct approach, in my book :)
