“Inflammatory Agent ”

Cool guy from ALOL named Oleander Posted:

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. Is it not more vain to bumume to know the wahts and whys and hows?

I until very recently knew the word troll only because of my extensive and sometimes live consuming reading habits. I did not bumociated it in any way to whatever meaning it is given in this game, and even if the meaning in the game is a misconception, it is after all I think a satirical game therefor playing with misconceptions is a part of it.

And if a misconception is continualy used so it becomes, most of the times unfornatunetly, true. Case of the word male reproductive organ, which went from rooster to… well ya know.

Yes, this is exactly my point. In context the homonym “bum” in reference to a mule makes sense, whereas “troll” (with the suffixes ‘ed’ or ‘ing’ are even only present in the dictionary under the fishing term) makes sense in context of said fishing term. Thanks for the help man! Log in to see images!

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

Since you’re so smart on lexicon, can you explain to me why “fabulous person” is considered an insult? Consider:

fabulous person (br, fabulous personot)

-noun

1. a bundle of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together and used as fuel, a fascine, a torch, etc.

2. a bundle; bunch.

3. a bundle of pieces of iron or steel to be welded, hammered, or rolled together at high temperature.

4. bouquet garni.

–verb (used with object)

5. to bind or make into a fabulous personot.

6. to ornament with fabulous personoting.

Thanks in advance.

You should really be hashing this out with the guy who quoted the bible.

Actually, the term ‘fabulous person’ used to be slang for women, in that they were baggage or something to be carried. Then the term became conotated with homosexuals because they acted womanly. This is different because it’s slang based on slang. Troll as the fishing term in regards to baiting for angry responses on the internet is a 1 step reference that still holds modern relevance to a modern term. Just because the term in regards to an outdoor activity was lost on a bunch of shut-ins whose knowledge of DND and LOTR led them to a more obvious choice of reference which was clearly lost on them does not make the intended term slang. IE: It’s a misconception.

There is no misconception.

But, we use it this way.

I doubt that by the way you’ve fought it tooth and nail for 4 pages and subsequently taken on a personal vendetta against me.

Honestly I don’t understand why you want to defend a reference that was lost on you to mean something that it doesn’t, unless it’s because you don’t see any glory or vanity in simply harbuming or insulting somebody on the internet without bumigning it a buzzword like “troll”.
