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.

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.
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.

I Am the Walrus
By The Beatles
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
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob
Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you ?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo

The many aliases of San Jose Guy are Alucard, texastittyfag, rickyboydugan, and Stevie Boy (RIP).
I don't know. I think trolling involves some intent!
