Trolls

["Mad" Miles]

Dear Waccies,

I have recently been introduced to the term "Troll" as it relates to internet discussions and participation in public organizations. Given the various debates on this site, and their tone sometimes, it might behoove those of us not familiar with the phenomenon to check it out. It is pretty interesting and complex.

Here're two links:

Reading this information has revealed to me that in some contexts I have very likely been viewed as a troll by others.


And I have an unrelated question. What exactly is the definition of "conscious" as it is used on this board?

Not by me!

And I have an unrelated question. What exactly is the definition of "conscious" as it is used on this board?

Since it's unrelated, I have posted my comments to this on the "What is 'Conscious'" thread.
