Right, and I think that's where broad definitions of trolling run into trouble, because a lot of people treat disliking or being offended by someone as a sign that that person is deliberately trying to upset them. And if that person tries their best to be civil, then that's treated as just a different kind of trolling. It basically results in a situation where anyone who has a different view from you can be labeled a troll.

I actually saw an example of this today in a discussion of, all things, whether or not it's a good idea to give formula to a kid over the age of 1. Poster One took the position that it was fine; Poster Two thought this ridiculous. Poster Two wound up accusing Poster One of being not only a troll, but a pervert, because they just got so angry that Poster One was disagreeing with them.

DA

That's an amazing example, but I can totally see it. People who are convinced their point of view is right and anyone who disagrees must be doing it for some nefarious, hidden reason derail so many conversations.

When I read someone like that, I'm often like "I see disagreement upsets you, but I didn't learn anything about anything from reading what you wrote, other than that you have an opinion and you're dogmatic about it."
