Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

the trolls tries to aggravate a person or certain people while others might find him funny

a joker tries to make everyone in the thread smile/laugh without intending to offend anyone

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I have always considered trolling to be an act that provokes an angered response with intended malice.

Joking is just like Foman's mother--easy and pleases both parties.

I got banned for posting this joke. So it's somewhere before there, I guess.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I believe that this can be broken down a few different ways.

Trolling seeks attention ie: self (face it, negative attention is still attention)
Joking seeks shared amusement ie: all

Trolling tends to be malicious, self serving
Joking tends to be for universal enjoyment

Trolling has negative ambitions
Joking strives for positive (but bad jokes can be negative)

Trolls try to humiliate
Jokes try to uplift

I'm sure none of this is really news to anyone who has been around for a while.
That said, an intended joke can be often taken as a troll if the reader so deems to take it that way.
Intent and understanding do not always jibe.

It is joking when the troll is bad

Trolling is a shock value trying to get you react negatively with comments that are not jokes yet are directed at said person with the intent to vex,provoke,frustrate,damage reputations,insensitive to others feelings, with malice or spite also to get jollies off.

Even a bad troll is a fail. Thus some react strongly taking the bait then going on a nerd rage or telling said person remarks that end up in a immature flame war.

Most trolls are attention seekers with minds looking to fill a small ego, or Elitist due to problems off line.seeking self gratification like a drug thus they have to move on from that to downcast others to feel smugly superior.

So to be cool then be accepted by others who do the same they are like junkies moving from victim to victim until they run into a wall of some sort. They do this to gain acceptance and attention. Creating a cycle they repeat.

Cycle that is hunt feed then get beaten off by others who chase them off thus refuseing to accept the notion its them not every one else or hunger to great to even care. Stalk next victum.

In a way like a leach who once attatches its self untill it is removed gaining all it can from host body.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Pretty sure it's what happens when someone chokes when they're trying to tell a joke. Like Obi-Wan

I don't think that the two are mutually exclusive, so it's impossible to draw a clear-cut line.

I think that statement about sums it up. Not to mention every point of view may draw a different conclusion about the subject matter at hand.

The best way to figure out what trolling is, is to notice when it goes too far over the line and turns from something harmless to something completely offensible. Trolling will always happen and is necessary in the ecosystem of forums but it's a delicate art that few can master.

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNǢUM

Joking is meant to illicit a smile or laugh, etc.

Trolling is meant to illicit a negative response from people.

Lol i see what i did now hindsight being 20/20. Thus this explanation should suffice. When i joined the work force i lost allot of skills over 10 years.

About the most advanced thing i could afford at that time was a N-64 and that was when they were advertising Shadows of the Empire.(Spent years /facedesking on a puter)

That being said i know its not an excuse just i lol at my self for forgetting proper Grammar. Thus being said i feel silly to embarrassed especially the work i do when i get comments back.

*Soap box is kicked out at a Ninja Grunt appears outta no place.* Umm so yes..i do like silly threads...ones..that have..no grunts.
