Trolls are older than the Internet, the original Trojan Horse could be considred a troll.
But here, this is light stuff. Nothing at all compared to other sites and the Internet in general.

Trolling isn't an art on GameSpot. Calling others a troll is trolling. Trolling on GameSpot is the worst kind of trolling there ever is. Except for whoever made that Inception thread. Holy damn, was that trolling at its finest.dreDREb13

What trolls these days are lacking is dedication.

That is the key.

We have had a few wonderful ones lately though, and I can't wait to see some successful ones again.

What happened?

A dude posted that Inception was very mediocre and a flat film. Of course, on Off-Topic, this is heresy. He then proceeded to argue that Christopher Nolan was a hack, and that Memento was a bad film if viewed chronologically, and went on to say that Martin Scorcese was overrated and bad. Basically, he was stating that movies are only as good as their basic plotline, not their overall quality. He listed his favorite directors and movies as nothing but foreign ones, and I believe he even said Toy Story 3 sucked, as well.

Isn't he a member of the FAU? Also isn't he actually a high level? I think I may know what thread this was.

He wasn't trolling. He is known in FAU for his "controversial" movie opinions.

Talk about anything in OT in a negative light and you are bound to have people who just don't understand. The people that don't understand brand these brave souls who post their controversial opinions "trolls".

Sad really.

Exactly, a man whose love for metal had run out. He just wanted some answers as to why.

Instead, OT being OT decided to focus on what the TC was known to listen to. As if people can never have a change of heart.

So unlike the intelligent conversaion the TC was actually establishing, many OTers decided to focus on his LastFM page and calling him a troll over and over.

Sad really.
