Some clarification please. What's a copypasta troll, and what's a troll?
If its someone who is challenging all the the time then that's called a philosopher. So some clarification would be helpful. A copypasta troll is a person that takes one post and posts it to many forums and/or just copies and pastes from web sites (sites like answers in genesis and the philosophy part of Stanford are very popular). A regular troll is someone who posts on forums to get people riled up and/or just for the lols. The exact definitions take a long time to go through, but the longer you use the internet for discussions, the easier time yu will have in recognizing trollish behavior. It looks to me like a troll is a term that a group uses to threaten those who they don't want around. That could mean threatening anyone who challenges them once, or anyone whose approach is always challenging. If that's the case I'm all for trolls rather than yes-men. No, there is a difference between people getting riled up by posts, and posting to get people riled up. Trolls also tend to avoid actually responding to what is said. If you want to not be seen as a troll, then just make sure you're honestly engaging the people that are responding to you and refrain from personal attacks and assumptions. |

"We’ve thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played." - Alan Watts

That was one of our Russian porn spammers stopping by to give us his best wishes. His website is called телок (Heifers or "chicks"). Such a classy guy; I think that he's using some unusual character encoding so his posts come out in gibberish instead of Russian.
