There are four types of trolls on these forums.

Sort:

Those 1. that spam dumb posts, those 2. that are rude intellectuals; those that A. do so intentionally and B. those that are unaware or have too little dignity to care.

 

Type 1 are the the most prevalent. 2B are the most insidious. 2A are occasionally humorous when directed wittily toward type 1A or mocking 1B (possibly 1A acting the part believable), and otherwise usually just jerky as the object of derision probably did not deserve the rudeness.  Types 1 & 2 and A & B are not mutually exclusive, although for the most part this dichotomy holds true. For example" intellectuals of class 2 are not prone spamming, and those that intentionally post dumb comments are not sophisticated enough to be considered jerks (just annoying usually,  with spritzes of humor where satire be poignant).

This guys lies. There are way more than four types.

Example of a soft 1B comment. Disagreement for sake of disagreeing with no counter-example to offer. cute but dumb.

Nope nope. I was just saying, I'm the kind of person who doesn't troll, but is classified as a troll cause I hang out with trolls.

Guilt by association.  Not that all trolling is inifitself bad. moderation

I am what I'd say a demi troll. Sometimes I troll. Sometimes I don't.

The real question is, is this comment a troll comment or not

Per the definitions above, no; it passes neither the stupidity test for 1 nor the rudeness requirement for 2. It is however in the smart-ass spirit of quasi2A.

Pomposity comes naturally to you. Just saying.

So I reckon I could qualify as 2B in eyes of someone who takes quick offense to misperceived pomposity.

You did forget those who spam dumb questions pretending that they want to learn.

I wonder why.

That would count as a 1A.

 

@abtillerman (re' "Don't know what you have against Milo, but you hold a huge grudge."):  Was that directed at DeirdreSkye or 0sumPuzzlerDtoWL{me}?

 

@Pussey-in-the-sky: Type 3 ,the stalker class..  what an abomination!  I take-it that you have had personally to deal with one or more type-3B trolls?

You forgot trolls with obscure superpowers.  I am the former Pizza Boy, and I was kicked out of the Justice League for hitting on Wonder Woman too many times.

Well, she's had a boyfriend for about a year now, and you probably don't want to make The Incredible Hulk jealous.
