The BBC on trolling

Jftr- I have no problem saying in person anything I type here.

I'd hate to live in Europe where it seems you can be censored and arrested for everything.

The UK isn't a part of the European union as far as i know, they are allies with the USA.

Did I say that? I don't think so. If you're going to comment on what I said then know what the hell I'm talking about.

You said "Europe" that's like blaiming the USA for a law in Colombia(for example) Continents aren't countries, and laws are "generally" made by each individual country.
There are however "European" laws but these only apply in counties that are actually a part of the european union.
So basicly saying you would hate to live in Europe, while the UK has it own laws.....As far as i'm aware there is no jail punishment for being a flaming troll in the rest of Europe

Just so you know, we are a part of the EU. >.<

Trolls aren't all that bad, I say they bring balance to the internet. They're also great fun, I love to play "beat the troll" with them. I consider myself a Troll to Troll, Trolls. I guess you can call me Troll Kryptonite.

That guy did take it too far though.

Well, then you're plainly not very good at it. You can't even countertroll a guy that trolls a star wars forum.


God, and now troll doesn't even look like a word.

trolls should beware - there is no such thing as anonymity on the internet.

Well technicly it depends, in the USA probably not...but if a troll is a little smart they can't track him.
I'm not even trying and my IP auto-changes a few times a day, and tracing it is imposible since the location is only a few hunderd miles off

No MT, I rarely even use IP to identify people.
I can do it by cross referencing email addresses, user names, topics you're interested in, patterns of speech, friends and families who might not be as guarded with their privacy, etc. Some bits and pieces of information will lead to other bits and pieces and if you're persistent, nearly anyone can be identified - without hacking, law enforcement tools, etc.

I'll have you know I can be very good at countertrolling if I wanted to be. I think it's pretty easy, especially when it comes to someone like you.

Attempt to lead me into an angry post stating my superiority by implying that I am easy.

Try again.

[Commander Sparrow]

You are most certainly easy. You're just as easy as the drunk women I see at those bars.
