Fwiw, "proper" trolling can be an art form. Done well, it can be a beautiful form of entertainment. Ken M's best (authentic) comments are a great example of this.
- careersuicide 10y agoI think you mean "a art".
- GrinningFool 10y agoSo can puns, but that doesn't make them socially acceptable either.
- _vya7 10y agoWhat, like dad jokes? > I have a fear of speed bumps. Im slowly getting over it. Dad jokes are one of those things were people shake their heads and sigh, as if they're displeased, but internally they're laughing their butts off. ... Or maybe I only think that because I'm a dad?
- GrinningFool 10y agoI think that's in the same category. Sadly, I have an affliction where I can resist no opportunity to pun. Or dad joke. It's a problem.
- nailer 10y agoIndeed. The first paragraph: > That trolling is a shameful thing, and that no one of sense would accept to be called ‘troll’, all are agreed No they are not. There are many smart, funny trolls who are quite happy to accept the label. I can understand the media getting confused between actual creative trolling and being particularly mean, but I'd expect more out of an academic publication.
