BlogPost 1: Troll this, Troll that.

What is Trolling??

Technically it is to make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them. in other words it is pranking in real life but this time you will be basically a douchebag on the internet. 

I have tons of experience of trolls, being a 9gagger, spends time playing online games and surfing on facebook, I've seen them basically trolling someone in action and they are quite good for their sarcasm and the "trolled" (basically refers them the "victim" of the trolls) they just keep feeding the trolls. *it may refer to believe in what sarcasm that trolls saying to them* 

My opinion about them is if you don't believe anything what they are saying or just simply detect the sarcasm they are giving you in other words "STOP FEEDING THEM WITH YOUR ATTENTION".

I read the article, "Scientific proof that trolls are ruining the Internet" by Zach Epstein.

The summary of the article is they want to have a troll-guard thing to lessen the trolls throughout the forums, blogs, news sites, social media networks and any other page that supports open discussions so it will be much friendlier for the netizens/users.

According to Epstein, "Internet trolls are not a new phenomenon, but people have yet to find a way to effectively stop these woeful web goers from spoiling the fun for the rest of us." 

In other words trolls are like stains of the whole internet, well, I beg to disagree because without trolls there will be no fun, no contradictions or maybe no one will read the forum or blog, trolling is sometimes amusing and a little bit interesting because it adds up to the story so without them the story wouldn't be a trend.

I read another article about this topic., "Your Online Secrets" by Jennifer Golbeck, Ph.D.  

To make it short trolls will just literally do anything to get your attention and contradict your point of view, they will lie and even exaggerate just to mock you, so next time if you encounter a troll just remember "Don't feed the troll", means just ignore them.

In a study done by Paul D. Trapnell & Company, it was mentioned, "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"

The quotation above is if you keep feeding them your attention and it irritates you, they are just happy to see you suffer. that's the basic rule for them, they fed on your stupidity for being a gullible bastard. I agree with the author because that's what trolls do, they will lie and cheat literally just to mock you, my example is myself, I do troll sometimes but not the extent of making it a habit out of it but just to see someone getting trolled is fun to watch and entertaining at the same time.
