What is a troll?

It's all to do with who the comment is against and nothing to do with the contents of the post.

Should that be accompanied by a winking emoji to indicate sarcasm? If not, I totally disagree with your disagreement.

As adults, I’m sure the majority “like” a comment for the content, not because of the poster, and certainly not because of the forum member who is the subject of any direct comment.

Nope...no emoji. See it regularly on here. People like Liverpoolphil make a comment and somebody responds then all the usual suspects like the post because someone is having a go at LP. That to me is trolling.
 
There are no trolls on here. Just because someone disagrees with you or critiques your post doesn’t make them a troll. Learn to be wrong or take criticism.

Trolling was a favourite hobby of mine and once had a specific social media account for it. Getting a rise out of people is a buzz. At work I do it in person, as do others it’s how we pass time. We deliberately offend and attack each other with absolute no limits.
 
There is different opinions of what a troll is. So people respond differently. I get that. What I don’t get is people don’t discuss the comment. They discuss the Forummers. They discuss the speling. They discuss the grammar, etc and for me at that point I switch off as the topic is now secondary.

Liking posts as part of a pile on isn’t trolling. The legal term is mobbing. It means ganging up on. Trolling is to post comments to antagonise, wind up etc. Hitting the “like” button isn’t posting a comment.

Ok mobbing it is then but the intention is still the same.

With some, yes, the intention is the same. But how do you prove it?

I guess you can't but you can read people and their intentions on here pretty easily a lot of the time.

It’s not as bad as it once was. There was a bit of a clique a while ago who didn’t like their opinions challenged.

You could pretty much guarantee that if there was a disagreement about anything, they would all pile on. It was always interesting to see how long it took to get a full set of likes.

Most of them have flounced complaining loudly that the forum has gone down the pan.

You disagreement with my previous holds no standing which is proven. I liked this post not because of stiring the pot, but because the content was factual and accurate.

Absolute nonsense. If I like a post that disagrees with L.Phil (since you used him as your example) it's because I also thought he was talking cobblers but somebody beat me to it and said what I would have said! Nothing to do with who it is. I will like a post by anybody if I happen to agree with it.
