Well For one I am tired of people throwing the term out there.

Two I have not spotted this "guide" being brought up.

hopefully you all will wise up to what a troll is instead of claiming someone is and turning topics into flame wars.

(but that will most likely never happen)

TC is clearly trolling. No but - in all seriousness - who cares who people claim to be trolls? The mods in the end are the ultimate decision makers about that....

You can easily identify a troll by their faint but unmistakable waft of elderberries.

I thought both of these things, plus the two posts below yours. Our minds; they've trolled each other!

Maybe the term is thrown around a lot, but if someone made, well basically a troll thread then they're probably trolling.

What do we do when we spot them? Chase them down with pitchforks and a mob...
