Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Do you consider Soviet Jackal a troll? I do. He spammed, he flammed, he always entered a thread with the intent on ruining it.
But he did make people laugh. In the end though, he was just another bad apple.
And Charizard? Classic troll. Shock sites, Halo 2 leaks.
So in the end, it depends on your own interpretation. Some see shrewd people as Trolls, I see them as Devil's advocate, so to speak.
Before The Gathering™ in May of '05, they may have been considered trolls. They aren't considered trolls anymore. Since May 2005 a new genre of Troll has emerged. They are quicker, smarter, faster and more abundant than anyone cares to imagine. If you have posted on Bungie.net since that time, You Have Been Trolled, whether you realize it or not.
On more than one occasion, Trolls have been in OXM and even the front page of Bungie.net. Do you think random flamers/spammers would be given that honor? The answer is no.
This is not a topic that is subject to interpretation. You cant look at a lemon and decide to call it a pumpkin because thats your interpretation. We are dealing in absolutes.
Bungie.net is the best game developer on the planet, do you really think that they would just let ordinary trolls roam thier forums? Hell no, they imported The Trolls.
