Why is everyone obsessed with the word "Troll" now?

[Moybus]

people call other people trolls because people are trolls, or people see people calling trolls trolls and decide to use it as an insult constantly.

duh?

Stop thinking you're cool because you suck at trolling.

Blobeh thinks that "troll" is a world.

a troll is the coined internet term for someone who is out to get a very negative reaction
If you retaliate, the troll wins
and they LOVE IT


but some times you think
"he's acting like a complete moron. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's trolling, not clinically handicapped"

[curiosblockland6]

The "World" of Troll is upon us, we must not ignore the threat it places on this Earth! The invasion force is gaining strength, and all we have is our community of Blockheads. We show no match unless public awareness raises considerably!

CHARRRRRRGGGGEEEEE!!!!!

Yea, thats what a troll is but now (at least in blockland) troll is used as a standard insult. I saw someone mess up someone else's build and called him a troll because of it.

[chino987]

back when it was first used was "troll" not a name for someone who enjoyed insulting ppeople for the fun of it?

Protip: if someone comes to your server and calls you an idiot for no reason, they are probably just trolling. Just dismiss it and don't even ban them.
