What if you ARE the troll? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9822)   ranked 8 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls1 month ago

We've all run into those nasty trolls here and on other websites. Some of them are merely annoying and others are infuriating and some are actually terrifying and maybe even dangerous. But here's a scenario I just thought of.

You have an online friend who talks about being annoyed by a troll. At least you THINK she's on your friend's list. And then one day you go to her profile and you're not. Not that uncommon on here to interact with somebody a lot and realize, oops I never added the person. So you send a request and it's accepted.

Back and forth, back and forth, you respond to each other's discussions occasionally and then you don't see the person for a while. Hmmm. You go to their profile and you see "add as friend". Now that's interesting. You're pretty sure you didn't delete her. Did she delete you once? Did she delete you twice? No way of knowing without asking publicly in one of her discussion.

So you just figure OK, take the hint. The person doesn't want to be your friend. It's a shame, you liked her, but OK.

Then it occurs to you. What if YOU'RE the troll she's been talking about? Embarrassing. I guess that's when you really decide, OK just leave the person alone. Weird though. Nobody who isn't deliberately causing trouble wants to be a considered a troll. Are you a troll?

I don't think so, but if you think I am, please tell me.

We are all different personality types and it would be easy to unknowingly offend others. I have read some comments here which seem a bit harsh and even insulting, but the fact is that friends CAN and DO use friendly insults and I know that many I read are just that - a lot of good fun. However, if the same type of chit-chat is employed with friends who are less familiar with the style, they could be offended.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9822)   ranked 8 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

bad pun alert...

Are you trolling for compliments?

Of course you are no troll...

but yep, many personality types and some people want to keep their friends lists to people that they've really clicked with and so on...


myLot reputation of 94/100. cloudwatcher (3418)   ranked 24 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

No I mean it. It is so easy to offend unknowingly. If I offend, I want to be told.

3. myLot reputation of 94/100. purplealabaster (822)   ranked 2 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls   1 month ago

I guess that I might be considered one, although I never intentionally hurt anyone. I stumbled across a discussion one day, and I almost responded to it, but I usually read all the responses before I comment on a discussion. About half way through, I realized that one of the mean people that this person was talking about was me. blush I felt like I had been punched, because I couldn't believe that someone had really felt that I was that mean to them. I guess if I was really a troll, then I would have responded meanly to the discussion, but I didn't. I just left the discussion and went on with myLotting. I don't know, does that make me a troll because the person thought I was being mean or does the fact that I avoided conflict make me not a troll?


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9822)   ranked 8 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

I suppose possibly you could be a troll in their mind, but the fact that you stepped away and took the high road tells me that you aren't one.

If everyone who misunderstands us on here thinks we are a troll,
then there are more trolls than non-trolls whistle


myLot reputation of 94/100. purplealabaster (822)   ranked 2 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

Thanks Dawn. I guess that you are right, what is and is not a troll is at least partly what a person perceives another to be, so we could all be trolls at one point or another without ever knowing or intending to be one.


myLot reputation of 94/100. purplealabaster (822)   ranked 2 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

At least we are all in good company, MysD. wink

oh dawnald I felt so bad about this too, but right at the'
same time a mylotter was upset with me over a joking remark
that she took seriously, this same lady had somebody minus
her from a ten down to a six, and she emailed me and accused
me of being the troll. I could not persuade her that I would
never do to anyone, I am not a mean person. She was on my friends'
list too then she was not,and I had not deleted her. I was not
her troll. I was trolled myself and I tried to tell her that in a personal message. The dumb remark was not even about her, it was
about something else but I had said if somebody does not quit
doing that, you ought to sic your little dog onto them. I was really jo king and it was not about her at all. The person to whom I had responded was talking about her own relative for crying out loud,so my comment had nothing to do with any mylotter,but this person would not ever for give me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9822)   ranked 8 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

I've seen a few situations like that too. Over on Yuwie one friend dropped another friend and wouldn't forgive them. The one over there who got really mad at me over something I was eventually able to patch it up with.

Well, I am not sure what you mean by a troll. Are you referring to a troublemaker? I guess I have not been here long enough to encounter trolls yet. Am I a troll? Who knows. My honesty has gotten me in trouble before. I do tend to speak my mind and try to give constructive comments. To some that might make me a troll. As has been stated in previous comments, being a troll is in the eye of the one doing the characterizing. There are a many differing age groups, social status, cultures, etc and not always can these differences be communicated without someone who may be sensitive taking offense. To the one taking offense, the thought offender would be a troll. I know when I was on Yuwie, occasionally someone would have blocked me and I had no idea why. Perhaps they thought me a troll, lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9822)   ranked 8 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

A troublemaker, a stalker, something like that. I wouldn't say that offending somebody when you didn't mean to would make you a troll. But the offended party might say differently. For me personally, I'd consider a troll a person who is deliberately going around aggravating people.


myLot reputation of 97/100. paintswithwords (297)   ranked 17 out of 53 in get rid of the mylot trolls  1 month ago

Well, in that case I am not a troll, though I am tempted to bang a few heads now and then...just kidding...lol.

But as you say, to someone who takes offense they may view any of us as a troll.
