this thread is a pretty good troll but you have to admit it does suck.

this thread can’t be a troll, that’s just silly. Threads can’t live under bridges.

All that’s come out of this thread is you showing how much of a fabulous person you are.

NOBODY HERE CARES about what -you- call trolling.

You whining and tossing in all this bull**** to support what you say doesn’t mean **** to anyone here.

If I bait, I’m trolling.

Also, where does FW mention it’s idea of a troll? So I can look.

Doesn’t this bumume that language is static? Language constantly evolves, expanding to fit the trends of communication. If enough people use a word “incorrectly”, it becomes part of the actual definition.

No, not at all. This is like saying bicycles are cars because they both move.

You agree that Aristotle was a great philosopher, yes?

I don’t have the reference handy, but I seem to remember him (or was it Plato? It’s been over 20 years since I studied them, you’ll forgive me if my memory is faulty) grouping pickles and leaves together (or something like that) because they were both green. So you’ll understand why I happen to agree that bicycles are like cars because they both move.

Hmm, no. The Plato reference is out of context. More or less these responses are simply hate-driven due to self-realizations that people have used the term incorrectly out of ignorance in the past and instead of admit it and grasp the true concept, they would rather continue to practice a proven misconception (presumably because grouping ‘trolling’ and ‘harbuming’ together helps to create some desired vanity in harbuming people on the internet).

Also, it was in the game discussion because I was disappointed that the clbum (Troll) in the game represents what someone who trolls on the internet does based on the misconception.

No, wrong again. This is a case of misconstrued homonyms. Basically what you’re defending is since their is so commonly misspelled the homonym ‘there’, it’s accepted that it just be correct to type ‘their’ as ‘there’. This makes you, by definition, ‘borderline very special’.
