In Reply to: Trolls - And How To Recognize Them posted by SJK on January 23, 2015 at 17:22:26:
First the calling out is usually done by a total a-hole who is actually the bigger 'troll like' person.
Second, it is a simple 'smear tactic'. Calling someone a name to insult them. No different than any other amazing variety of insults ranging from words like Buffoon, to Communist, to "N" (you know what word that is) to jackass, perv.. Moron, simpleton.. You get the idea.
So all in all it really is just another worthless insult.
Now in discussions the word Troll may be useful as a descriptor... But as a thing to call someone, never.
