Disagreed with this when it was in the 'secrets you want someone else to make,' and still do. "Troll" is a value judgment based on someone's behavior: a claim they're saying what they say just to upset people. And anons say it as an argument to the other people around - to stop listening to them or talking to them.

That definition of troll is useful because it gives people in F!S a way to disengage from people who come here to spoil other people's enjoyment of the space, while NOT making "troll" such a catch-all term that anyone can be accused of it for any reason. Which is the obvious pitfall of broadening the term to "anything 'intentionally' inflammatory."

You're not a mind-reader. You can't know the other person is saying something that makes you angry BECAUSE they want you to get angry. It's not that people "don't grasp" your favored definition of what a troll is, it just gets very limited traction here. Because arguments that consist of

-"I think A,"
-"I think B,"
-"you're a troll!"
-"no, I really do think B, for [reasons],"
-"why haven't you shut up already, no one can just deny they're a troll!!"

... are deathly boring. While arguments that involve people getting into why they think what they think can bring up stuff about fandom and canon that deepen engagement with the story. A space where the only people who can interact comfortably are the ones who agree with each other is missing a lot.

Not OP/DA

My interactions with commenters on here lately have been more along the lines of

Person A: [opinion]

Person B: I'm going to make a point about something tangentially related

Person A: That wasn't my point. I meant [clarification]

Person B: Why are you getting mad that I don't agree with you? This is the townsquare of ideas, and your defensive response will not quiet the thought leaders of today at Dreamwidth!

and then maybe a couple other people will come to either make fun of/back up one or the other's comment

And I'm tired of responding with coddling affirmation that I hear what they're saying when they didn't give any shits that they misconstrued my original point and got antagonistic really fast.

So these days, if I post a comment and someone responds, I usually don't respond.
