I'm not discussing the definition of Retard, but unfortunately Gipper you are incorrect as to the true definition of Troll. Used as a [noun], a "TROLL" has one of the following definitions to which you can look up in any number of dictionaries.
1. very ugly creature in old Scandinavian stories that lives in a cave and is either very small or very tall.
2. ugly or unpleasant person
3. (in computing) showing disapproval to someone who deliberately sends a rude or annoying message to a discussion group on the Internet
Ergo, the mere act of posting on a rival board does not make one a troll. However, you may find one's messages to be "rude" or "annoying" and as such you can show that person disapproval by labeling him as a troll.
I would have to agree with this as well.
I actually don't think Homotron is a troll. I don't ever remember a moment when Homo has just randomly attacked the Browns or disrespected someone on the board for NO reason. I will however say he will stick up for his team.himself as would any Browns fan or person on a Steelers board (or wherever really) The only thing I never got was why he is on a Browns board as a Steeler fan, but he has said numerous times he likes reading the boards of all the division rivals so atleast he keeps consistent. As much as I hate the Steelers and some of there actual trolls Homotron has never rubbed me the wrong way (like that garafleets clown or whatever his name is)
Just my opinion while I am bored.
Also Homotron take Gipper w a grain a salt. He is old and apparently doesn't realize the interweb has its own culture/terminology. He lost me when he agreed with the rock and roll HOF not inducting KISS and Rush.

I appreciate the above because I truly don't believe I troll and I never came here to start trouble. I actually had a pretty good understanding with a few of the more prominent posters when I first joined. I came here to read and read on a Bengal board AND a Raven board. I don't post as much but as I said before in this thread and others they don't obsess over the Steelers like some do here. I also feel that because of some of the other Steeler fans legitimately trolling I was lumped in to the name change fiasco. I do enjoy reading and contributing from time to time and quite honestly wished more constructive discussions occurred. There is A TON of Browns fan on Browns fan hate here as well which really does blow my mind. I'm not here to ruffle feathers and only do when someone attempts to ruffle mine. As far as Old Man river is concerned (my dad is 60 himself
) He doesn't bother me and I do take what he says with a grain of salt. Unfortunately that his doing because I'm sure he knows plenty about his Browns but instead of discussing them in a civil manner he himself goes in to "troll mode" even with his own. I'm not a big Kiss fan but they certainly deserve to be in the Hall. I do like Rush and they 100% should be in the hall.Yo! mods can I formally request that my name be changed back? As it stands it only exists as an additional point of contention. It hasn't run me off. I know one of your own thought it should be changed back and it actually was returned to it's former glory at one point only to be bumped back to where it is now. I've been playing nice for a while now. It's about that time. Yes? Yes?
And once again Jnuh I appreciate what you said above.

You have handled your frequent online floggings with some composure. If the mods put your signature reestablishment up for a vote, I would reluctantly vote yea.

I appreciate that and have never posted here to ruffle feathers. Ruffle mine or attempt to ruffle mine and I will 100% return the favor, it's always been that way for me. I would certainly appreciate my name being changed back. I'm done playing in the city vs city threads. If it's Browns/Steelers great but I've wasted far too much time defending Pittsburgh. I changed my sig a few weeks ago which was very anti Ohio as a testament to my "pledge" so to speak.

Are you "homotron" on the ravens board?, if not you should be. It's your identity, just roll with it.

There's a difference between "trolling" and "flamebaiting". In the truest sense of the words Ghoolie is not only a troll, but a flamebaiter on top of it- doesn't matter if he's a Browns fan.
"We're great- you suck" is grounds for dismissal. Now if you want to say "because" that's a different story.
BTW, if I could- I'd change all the regular Steeler fans that post here back to their original names- that skill has escaped me.
Good natured banter between fans of opposing teams is great- just like Rome says "have a take". Heck, there's Browns fans here that I don't agree with- does that make them trolls?
-
I like how troll has become almost an offensive term. If you're trolling another teams forum always looking to extol their rival then yes, you're a troll. Just own it.

First off, I never agreed that KISS should not be in. I by all means think they should be in.
I also said that it doesn't break my heart that Rush is not in because I don't like Rush.
What I also said was that in my opinion there are many other acts that deserve to be in over Rush.
Whether Rush has the credentials to be in, I believe are debatable. I do think that they have sufficient credentials to be considered....but I can still think of a hundred acts that I believe have better credentials. But if they got in I don't think it would be the worst miscarriage of justice.
I could, and did, name a pile of bands that I would prefer to be in over Rush (and that includes KISS)

I can never be a "troll" on my own teams board.
As for the lingo...sorry, I think mine fits far better. It is far more in line with the defintion of the original term. (and as such, I believe it would NOT have a negative connotion per se.
What term then is used for the fan of one team showing up on the board of a rival team, regardless of how they conduct themselves? I called that a troll. What do you call it?
Now, if that "troll" then proceeds to make an ass of himself, or get into arguing then I call them a "flamer".
What can I say, I can't help it that I have a better grasp on the English Language than most every one else.

Now, why don't you two KISS. Get a lot of tongue action going there

This argument is ridiculously boring. Let's spice it up:
Gip, Homo called you a sissyboy and inquired as to your sexual preference.
Homo, you smell like a gas station beef and cheese burrito.
Have at it, you two.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Yo gip I don't give a damn about "YOUR" lingo. I only know the widely accepted lingo of the damn internet and your definition of "flamer" is now the definition of "troll". I've NEVER heard troll used in the manner that you describe unless I stumble on some old Bill Dance videos. You love your trivia threads, start a poll. I doubt anyone will align themselves with your definition. Couch I don't care to get heavily involved in an argument with Capt. Spin. Hell after I decided I was done with the city vs city BS he and I won't have much to discuss. He knows very little about the current Steelers, hell he knows very little about the NFL outside of the Browns and quite honestly I don't blame him. My own dad is a little out of the loop but he knows the Steelers inside and out. Although he's more in touch with the rest of the league than Gip. Get studying GIPPER!

A. What makes you think I give a damn about what is widely accepted lingo of the internet? I try to speak English, not gibberish.
As I said, the term troll is still more descriptive of how I define it rather than how you say it is generally accepted. (beyond that, my definition took away the negativity associated with the term)
B. You still didn't answer my question: If "troll" is not the "correct or accepted" terminology for a fan of one team that posts on the message board of another team....then what IS the term for such a person. Until you can come up with a better term for me to use, you will continue to be a troll. (Besides, if I took a poll, I suggest you WOULD be labeled a troll, even under your own definition of the term)
C. I know plenty about the the current NFL. Probaly more than you.Do I know the name, height, weight, 40 speed, statistics of every single motherfucker that plays in the league? No.
I know about things that are important to know.
But, admittedly, I am actually more interested in the history of the league than I am in something like: who is the nickelback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, or who is the Right Guard for the Seattle Seahawks or who every linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are. Yea, sorry, can't tell you that. But I suspect I can hold my own overall.

Look, the guy has been unwillingly given a certain derogatory name by the board admins.
It is not my job to convince him not to live up to that name, now is it?
