True, but not in the way intended. Most trolls want people to flip out about the topic/statements they have used to troll with, not have people see through the trolling attempt and simply mark the poster as an obvious troll and then move on. It kind of wrecks the game.
Jennie is NOT a troll. Not at ALL. She does post zingers when she is in an argument but I would bet my life that Jennie Malloy has never posted a topic or reply with the sole intention of trolling someone else. She posts her responses to other people's comments.
I am 100% sure that she did not realize just how much SOME people her disliked her. Lots of us like her A LOT. Some of us know her offline and we can vouch that she is an AWESOME person to be around.
What goes on on this forum is sometimes really crappy (would love to use a stronger word).
But it's 100% true that people do LOSE THEIR MINDS on here going off on others. I have done it, people have done it to me.
You know who I am? I am the kind of guy who will drive you across the country without hesitation if that's what you need. Jennie is probably the same way.
You who I also am? I am the kind of guy who has a very low tolerance for people who are jerks. Sorry but for some reason jerkiness just offends me and makes me want to respond harshly. It's like a bug flew in my eye and I have an instant reaction.
THAT is NOT a good character trait for places like this. And Jennie is the same way. Now, the people who are jerks are probably good people. I know that most of the online jerks I have met are SUPER NICE in person and they probably think the same about me and my jerkitude.
But there is a HUGE difference between a troll and myself and Jennie. A troll is malicious and sociopathic in their quest to piss people off. A troll has no empathy and no sympathy. A troll could care less about their victim they will do and say ANYTHING to get a reaction and the more tearful the better.
Now, a lot of us, me for sure has engaged in behavior that has had some aspects of trolling because when you are upset and lashing out you can resort to actions that mimic a troll's behavior. But you are still not a troll because you regret it later and try to make amends.
To me this is myself and this is Jennie. We are both good people who don't like to fight. I really don't as odd as that seems. But I don't like to be talked down to, called stupid, told what my motivations are, dismissed, and heckled. If that happens then my blood boils and it's on, used to be on, now, not so much. But I am not a troll.
If I were and if Jennie were then you wouldn't even know our names and we would rip you to shreds incessantly.
