How is it a troll?

 

trolling to me is a fishing technique by baiting. In this case the HARM is the bait and we are the fish getting caught up in the net! :)

To troll has a specific definition with regard to online behavior.

 

/trōl/

verb

gerund or present participle: trolling

1.

INFORMAL

make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.

He simply made a video with whatever dev build they're on, as he always does. That's not trolling.

 

It was a light-hearted statement..... it wasn't meant to be an insult.

I wasn't insulted, just schooling you on the fact that every word already has a meaning and you should know them before you use them, Carry on.

 

Really Trev?? May I recommend this? :Dab-buds.png?w=750

It seems Trev is part of the new online generation that has redefined the English language :D

 

I worked on fishing boats in my youth and we trolled for Barracouta to put in our rock lobster traps.

Trolling to us was a painted piece of dowel with a hook screwed to it tied to a cord and trailing behind the boat about 10 meters. Fish would see the lure and chase after it.

 

Watching Wags video I did feel like I wanted to swim faster to catch up to that F-14!

I love keyboard commandos. They really just bring the whole group together in such a positive and informative way. Looking at Trev’s post history- he’s always on top of the keys. Always there to make sure to comment on other people’s posts in a way that truly shows his stellar character while, at the same time adding almost nothing to the topic at hand or helping his fellow DCS’ers. What a guy. You keep up the great work, little buddy.

 

Wags, truly- I meant absolutely no disrespect with regard to troll comment.

You can 'ignore' Trev, I finally had to, his posts add nothing of value and stand only to aggressively put others down. If you go to his profile and in the top left under his name there is 'User lists' then 'Add to ignore list'

Agreed, and I did the same recently - not that he ever did anything to me, I just got fed up seeing his attitude everywhere.

You very much snagged Trev in this thread tho...:)

Well unless the President's English is different

 

Troll is a mythical creature, I believe it's origins are in Scandinavian folklore. When used in an online environment it has a different, more specific, meaning as already alluded too.

 

Trawling is a method used to catch fish by dragging a baited line (or net) behind a slow moving vessel

 

As far as Wag's comment I am at a complete loss to it's meaning so this is one fish that's too thick to even see the bait let alone take it
