"Just because they disagree with you, doesn't necessarily make that person a troll" is true enough.

But when someone truly believes that God Hates Fags, then goes to some random forum and starts spreading homophobic shit everywhere and spamming everyone with it, they are a troll. They are out to deliberately provoke a reaction and in that instance it doesn't matter whether they believe in what they're saying or not, the main point is to get people riled up. Trolling is about behavior and actions as much as beliefs.

I don't think they're talking about that so much as the occasional politically unpopular secret we'll get from time to time where the comments preemptively declare it a troll secret. And whether the thread eventually devolves into bitter wank or not at this point doesn't matter because no discussion has started yet. Just BAM! "TROLL SECRET".

And I have to agree with the original anon on this because, yes, while some of them may indeed be trolls, it doesn't help to assume that everyone in a certain section of fandom has the exact same opinions as you and anyone who claims otherwise is just a lying liar that lies. Because hey, those people do exist and getting labelled as a "troll" right out the door isn't going to do anything to help sway their opinions.

Not disagreeing with that. I was pointing out that truly believing in what you say doesn't necessarily mean you're NOT a troll or trolling.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure since I know some people see no difference between "calming stating a conservative opinion in a fandom zone" and "spamming and trying shove radical conservative opinions down everyone's throats."
