    I thought the show was funny. Though I always felt like I was wasting my time when I watched it.

    Depends on who is moderating. All moderators define their own rules for trolling and moderating.

    In general:

    An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

    On sciforums, the science forums are moderated more strictly than the nonscience (or nonsense

    That is very good to know!

    Shorty seems to think that Orleneader and myself are currently in a troll process if I understand her quote just now, "shorty 37- "How is ORLEANDER AND JOZEN not trolling this thread?"".

    What is it that is making us two trolls right now Shorty 37? That is, in your opinion?

    Maybe the thread will get cleaned up and we will then find out that it has more to do with the thread then you think?

    Maybe you are Trolling?

    Interestingly as shorty is not a moderator of this forum, all of the above, which are intended to derail the main discussion or bait other members are also trolling.

    The correct response would be to

    1. report the post, or

    2. PM the moderator.

    I take it that Trolling can kill a thread then?

    No the other trolls are derailing the discussion. That way you SAM don't have to answer the questions I asked you. The ones that actually do belong in this thread.

    Sometimes it can lead to a more stimulating discussion. Which is why I generally leave troll posts in the thread for a day or so to see if they are going anywhere.

    Some posters can initiate meaningful and valuable discussions even from diversions. Others are just mental confetti better consigned to the bin asap.

    Or prevent something from crossing a bridge...like the 3 billy goats...only in this case the development of the thread from getting across new information or insight.

    I have to agree!

    Is this thread going anywhere?

    Correct.

    e.g. Orleanders comment on kissing in the Gspot thread, led to a response related to oral stimulation. Since they can further lead to a progressive discussion on oral stimulation and gspot, even though the initial post was not meaningful, it can lead to an interesting diversion related to the OP.

    Of course, we are having a meaningful discussion on why some posts do not disappear.
