I have been seeing innocent people on WP being called trolls for no reason just because they say something someone didn't like or they didn't like their opinion so they call them a troll for it. I also found out on another forum someone had been called a troll in the chatroom just because they didn't like his opinions and they were losing the argument. I've been called a troll just because I showed someone up.
Because others might believe it and bam you aren't taken seriously anymore. That's why I don't believe others when they say someone is when it doesn't even look like they are.
Someone here called me one, I told him to piss off.
I think he's just expressing his opinion
I'm in the rare position of being able to speak my mind without being called a troll
For asking questions about something I really want to know. Some people think they can guess your intentions when you post up something. It is not always possible.
I learned this at school, when the teacher asks a question such as "who likes this" or "who does this", I would wait until a few other people answered and then sometimes go with a large number. It was not always beneficial to me to stand alone on my opinions, especially outside the classroom. Declining to give my opinion sometimes saved me. For any really important issue, I can often stand up for.
I think this is why political votes are supposed to be secret ballots though I have noticed that the polling clerk will write numbers on the ballots and beside people's names on the voting list. Do you really think that they can find out who I voted for?
Upon further inspection I would indeed suggest that MW is a bit of a twat ;p
I never have personally been called one--but a couple of IRC bots I have written have.
