>To add to your point, nobody actually trolls in person or in real life because 1) the body language gives them away immediately and 2) they're risking getting punched in the face for their effort. What do you count as trolling? Purposeful inflamatory remarks? Arguments that aren't honestly believed but are politely used to test the extent of some line of reasoning or the limits of a position? For example, one common line of reasoning used with drugs and abortion is that it will happen anyways so outlawing it only makes it more dangerous. Now imagine someone taking this same argument and applying it to something like FGM or some other extreme position (though an extreme position that some on the planet do hold, just not likely the one presenting the argument). Would this be trolling, and would it depend upon presentation, in which case would someone with poor presentation presenting an argument they believe in not also be trolling?
