what constitutes trolling?

money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
I would say that it is negative ad hominem. The comments are not topical, they are meta narrative, conversations about the conversation, with the intent of terminating the conversation. Most of it is ad hominem, talking about the man instead of the topic.

Often trolls will post extreme stuff which they don't really believe, or they will make unsubstantiated charges or allegations against someone, only to force them to deny it to protect their reputation.

Simply expressing a different POV, or expanding the range of the topic are not trolling.

When Dougster was trolling someone, I often posted completely off topic stuff, simply to discourage him. That is a kind of trolling, but it was trolling to discourage trolling. It was never negative meta-narrative and never ad hominem. It was always neutral subject matter.

Generally trolling is not good, because once one person does it, that encourages others.

The more the trol San Jose Guy accepts differing views other than his own, the quicker the trolling subsides. A key to knowing if someone has Aspbergers (sic) is that they don't understand nuances from typical humor that most people understand. This is why San Jose Gay is normal because of his understanding of basic nuances used in correct context.

If the real SJG understands this, you would think San Jose Guy would eventually get on his psychotropic meds on get on board with it. Maybe even by reviewing a strip club for god sakes! What makes me think both SJG's are the same person is that neither has a review.

The way we do it here in South Florida is we save all the guts, entrails and heads of our previous catch and chop it all up into a bloody mess, then we stick it in a freezer and let it solidify. An hour before our next trip while we are loading all of our gear onto the boat we take the frozen chum ball and put it in a bucket that has holes punched in it all the way around. When we reach an area that our fishfinder alerts to, we attach a rope to the bucket and drop it off the side of the boat so it defrosts and as we are under way at a trolling speed of 2-3 knots we creat a slick that brings in fish from all over to be caught by the guys fishing on the stern. That's How We Troll Boys.

There is a fine line between being funny and trolling. Sometimes even I cross that line - by accident of course!!!

Meat72 posted above, "The more the trol San Jose Guy accepts differing views other than his own, the quicker the trolling subsides."

So he is bragging about the fact that he uses trolling as a retaliatory weapon simply because he disagrees with many of my views.

Meat72 and his aliases are degrading this forum, making other people afraid to post their own views.

^^^^ SJG, this is a forum for heterosexual men regarding strip clubs, yet YOUR GAY! Your aliases have tarnished this site and inaccurately stating I have aliases. Stop projecting and decide once and for all if you're gay or that mean, discombobulated San Jose Guy who trolls himself. If your hetero type a review of a strip club experience and then we can believe you.

HaHaHa mikeya02. I don't worry about you. But we could have some new members or some who just skim over posts and have not yet become familiar with our regular members. Please mikeya02, any trolling is bad enough, but impersonation trolling can do immense harm. Don't encourage it.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying I'm crying I'm crying I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Man, you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain
'cause I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, and I am the walrus

Don't you think the joker laughs at you ?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied

San Jose Guy claims to rape girls in their sleep, yet San Jose Gay only wishes to sleep with and be raped by men.

The many aliases of San Jose Guy are Alucard, texastittyfag, rickyboydugan, and Stevie Boy (RIP).

It's good sjg gets trolled by himself, at least it's funny and seems to have curbed much of his long winded nonsensical posting. Up with SJGay, down with SJG.
