Disturbing advice given

[Uncle Pug]

If you find yourself patiently explaining, at length and in great detail, some obscure point to someone who isn't even paying attention to you, then you are probably being trolled.

WOW! - I was just reading a dive magazine yesterday about a guy who started teaching people basic SUCBA that had some sort of brain problem that hindered their mental development. This causes very mild retardation. I wondered what would happen when we started running into these people.

Now I know.

Ahh UP, are you ignoring me? Does that mean I can get away with some mischief?

Does that mean UP is a troll?

62 replies and 921 views in 6 hours, I think it would be safe to say that the server that runs scubaboard is hot enough to cause global warming. this alone will kill off coral at an alarming pace, so much for a couple of dumb photogs and their split fins of fury

Usage of the word is various. In some usage, a troll is a communication such as a usenet post, and a troller is the author of such communication. In media where communication isn't discrete, a troll is the creator of such communication.

A troll is deliberately crafted to provoke others with the intention of wasting their time and energy. A troll is a time thief. To troll is to steal from people. That is what makes trolling heinous.

Trolls can be identified by their disengagement from a conversation or argument. They do not believe what they say, but merely say it for effect.

Trolls are motivated by a desire for attention by people and can't or won't acquire it in a productive manner.

Someone may be insufferable, infuriating, fanatical, and an ignorant idiot to boot without being a troll.

Also note that a troll isn't necessarily insulting, snide, or even impolite. Only the crudest, most obvious, forms of trolling can be identified so easily.

If you find yourself patiently explaining, at length and in great detail, some obscure point to someone who isn't even being polite to you, then you are probably being trolled.

Doh… rofile: looks like I got hooked then… and reeled me in… doh again

UP is so sly at at it though. He's like the Special Forces of trolls.

This might be the wrong time to ask but, do you think I could be a Moderater? I've got great people skills and a dictionary type knowledge of diving that is match by few. I'm even tempered and it takes alot to set me off. I think I would be an asset to this organization and bring peice and harmony to my fellow divers.


If I'm not excepted here , I'll have no other choice but to go solve the middle eastern peice problems single handedly
