<p>[quote user="Euclid"]<span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Then others smell that feeling of insult, band together, and multiply the sense of outrage about the imagined insult. Then this can cause the aggrieved group to mob the thread with snarky off topic comments just to try to provoke the person who will not agree with them. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">This, of course, is classic trolling and violates the forum rule against off topic comments, and also the one against personal attacks if the comment goes that far, which they often do. Obviously, the objective is to provoke the one who fails to agree into lashing out and raising the temperature in the hope of spooking the moderators into locking the thread.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">The funniest part is that the little mob of trolls engaging in this tactic never believes that they are trolling. To them, the troll is the person whom they imagine to have insulted them by not accepting their opinion. </span>[/quote]</p> <p>Bucky, your post seems uncharacteristically emotional of you.</p> <p> </p>
