Trolling is stating something that you do not believe to get a rise out of people. For instance if I were to give a MacBook to Dave Willson and tell him he should try it out because it kicks Linux's behind. That would be a troll because I did it for no other reason then to watching his reaction.<div>
<br></div><div>Your disapproval of social norms and excepted truths of the group are in no way related to trolling. People are not saying anyone of those things to get a raise out of you. </div><div><br></div><div>I think Dave calls Torren a troll because Dave wants to give Torren a benefit of doubt and hopes he just likes to watch the e-mail list explode in activity.<br>

There are many times when I see conventional memes that drive me crazy......<br>
To me that is trolling....but since these paradigms are so widely accepted ... they are allowed a pass. So I guess most people would not consider them trolling.<br>
<br>
Some examples:<br>
<br>
#1 It is okay to kill people in other countries without a trial.<br>
#2 "Bad" people or foreigners do not deserve the protection of the US legal system.<br>
#3 If the russians build a wall it is bad... If the US builds a wall, it is okay.<br>
#4 US soldiers are heroes .... fighters in other countries are terrorists.<br>
#5 War is a glorious enterprise.<br>
