Both in falling for obvious trolls

but even more obnoxious, calling people trolls for having opinions that they don't agree with, even when they aren't actually all that crazy.

y/n?

The fact that you haven't realized we do that on purpose saddens me.

Suuure you do.

So sad. So, so sad. I am crying. I am also hungry but that can wait.

omg. Don't be giving away company secrets.

But then what am I supposed to do? My job? Don't be ridiculous. It's not in my contract to do my job.

I'll be the judge of that.

You're not my real boss.

Oh yeah? Well...

I don't know either! It feels like we're running in circles. I'm so confused.

YOU WIN THIS ROUND!

I have to sleep. D:

Who is the dude who isn't Daniel Craig? I know I know him, but from where?

I think he's on SNL? I'm not sure. Sorry.

It seems like we tend to call everything a troll, and then also respond to everything seriously anyway

I find it charming, in a weird way

It is cute. It's like, "oh psshhhh. nice try, now let me tell you in great detail why the colour blue is nice."

And then I end up liking the colour blue.

Blue is greeeaaaaattt.

I'm being serious here but once I made a secret about finding BBC overrated and everyone howled over it being "Obvious trolling." Cmon, people, some people like different shit. Fwiw, I like a couple BBC shows but I think it's stupid that people act like it's probably the finest programming offered up by the UK.

Are you realising this just now, or have been biting your tongue on it? Because yes, fs is pretty bad at troll call and bait. Then again, our trolls are troll lite most of the time.

Actually one of the things that bothers me about people calling troll around here is for issues like health. I've come here anon a few times to ask for advice or help on health matters, and several of those times several people called me a troll.

I wasn't being inflammatory or anything, but I think maybe the severity of my problems made them think I was just baiting for sympathy or trying to stir up shit. And to be honest, that did rather hurt. I wasn't lying, and having people taunt me only made me feel worse about my problems-- like if these people didn't believe me, who the fuck would?

The way I look at it, if someone expresses a real, fairly serious problem asking for support and advice, what does it cost you to believe them? On the other hand, if you disbelieve and deride them, you could have placed someone in a precarious position into an even worse spot. Why would you want to cause more pain to that person?

And I'll probably get more shit for this. I'll probably get called a troll right now too. But I'd rather say something now, and maybe have people have second thoughts the next time they decide to troll or call troll on someone expressing an issue about their health.

No, I agree with you and I'm really sorry that happened to you.

We have a nice number of very, very obvious Fail!trolls here, it's so incredibly funny to answer them seriously to make them think we've fallen for their bullshit. We make them feel nice and successful - it's a community service thing.
