Maybe we could make a list of desirable troll qualities. Name-calling is so one-dimensional. I think there has to be an outrageous statement or opinion to pick apart, as well. ---

Yes, but when someone intentionally acts like a total douche because they think it’s funny to annoy people, what do you call that? If your argument is that you’re incapable of not being a total douche, and therefore your total douchetude isn’t intentional, well, there you go. ---

See, now [_this_](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=848792) is a troll. If not in the “deliberately trying to make people angry” sense, then in the “repulsive thuggish creature from somewhere dark and moist” sense. ---

Having seen that poster before, I’m sadly not shocked. I am however shocked that the thread has managed to stay out of the pit for an hour and half so far. ---

> [@Lemur866](#): > > Yes, but when someone intentionally acts like a total douche because they think it’s funny to annoy people, what do you call that? A troll. :S It is actually possible to not come off like a total douche and still be trolling. And vice versa (much more common). And II, as should be pretty fucking obvious, who’s a douche or not is very much in the eye of the beholder. > [@Lemur866](#): > > If your argument is that you’re incapable of not being a total douche, and therefore your total douchetude isn’t intentional, well, there you go. No, that wasn’t my argument. My argument was simply that being an infuriating asshole doesn’t necessarilly mean you’re a trolll, or that you’re trolololling (happy Morgenstern?). ---

Bullying on a message board isn’t the solution, trust me. Well, I guess a mod could change the thread title to “Omnibus Trolls _and Total Douches_ R Us Thread,” but you’d probably find something to bitch about with that title, too. ---
