Logan, me asking you to stop inviting me to games isint a troll or harassment.

Then I blacklisted you so you would stop and you got upset and ended your stream. So I don’t know what to tell you.

If anything I'd consider inviting someone to games repeatedly after they ask you not to to be a form of minor trolling. You're basically trying to get them to blacklist you or go off on you so you can then paint yourself as the victim.

I agree to some degree with wulfhere, except that there's really not "benevolent" trolling. There's just trolling for humor sake to see if you can get people to buy your bullshit story as actually being reality, and then trolling with the intention of being malicious, but it seems wrong to suggest that one is "better" or more "effective" than the other inherently.

If I got 20 pages of response from people offering me dating advice and trying to persuade me to not kill myself I still just as effectively got the reaction I desired as the other guy - we were just striving for different outcomes.

People for some reason though have started labeling any form of "problematic behavior" online as being a trollish, and that's just not remotely the case. If I tell you to go fuck yourself in a games chat after you beat me, I'm not trolling you, I'm just being an asshole.

Wulfhere however is definitely right about the goal being to involve as many people as possible, and to have the debate take off on its own without the need for the OP to force it to.

ie. I could post on some forums and say that I suffer from a chronic need to masturbate multiple times per day, and ask what I should do about it (if anything), and potentially get people telling me it is fine to masturbate, and get other people telling me masturbation is wrong, and then have those people get into an argument with each other on the topic without me needing to be any further involved.

What kind of retarded logic makes you believe that votes should be weighted in favor of the creator of a post?

Who the fuck downvotes their own post? No one. You don't give all the power to those who are assured to be the most biased.

Few people realize trolls and anti-trolls exist in a delicate symbiotic relationship that produces great entertainment.
