I got into an argument with someone over the nature of trolling and ran into someone who knew the true art of trolling. You see, my mentality on the matter is that trolling needs to be designed in such a way that it creates a 'negative emotional response.' In laymen terms: designed to piss you off. He took the argument it only needs to annoy, so someone sending you a message 'Poke' over and over could technically be considered a troll.
I still think he is wrong, that someone poking you over and over is just being an annoying arse-hole, and I don't know if he agreed with me or not. The whole side of his debate was designed as nothing more then a trolling attempt, to hold my attention while he built up towards the insult part itself. I was one step away from springing that trap before I recognized the trolling for what it was and congratulated him on it.
