  Theres no point arguing with Sin, he's just going to be another tool who thinks he's somehow superior without showing some accomplishment to support that claim.
  
  You can even tell yourself you've won... Though all in all, I'm more just tired of constant idiotic drivel that you repeatedly spew. You can't take the fact that you're wrong about something, you can't take the fact that you don't know everything, so you resort to poor attempts at trolling, which just don't work.

  
  Oh!
  
  Did you want me to respond to that?
  Sorry, I thought I made my stance on that, very clear.
  
  Stuff I don't care about:
  Britney Spears
  AID's epidemic
  Your opinion <
  Retarded kids.
  
  @NewbieNub: I resort to insults because I've already tried being pleasant with you guys. So, we do s*** my way now.

  Osy, if you're reading this, can I have 8 more CIRNOs so I can have 9... 9s?
  
  :D
  
  
  
  Anyway, I want Sin to give me a valid reply against the crap I've just thrown at him.
  
  
  
  
  Oh please, you were rude from the VERY START, ever since you've existed in these forums.
  
  I can't take rude people seriously.

  I wouldn't say I'm not.
  
  But you have to agree that if I'm taking in vulgar crap from someone, I have all rights to reflect it back at that particular individual.
  
  Ask anyone else on Mabination if I'm treating them like how I'm treating you RIGHT NOW.
  
  
  
  No, only you're getting this special treatment. Be glad, be happy. Life's awesome to be you, good day.

  I completely agree. People think that the word troll is synonymous with arguing on the internet now. Ugh

  Just wanted to post most of the internet's reaction to this.

  Way to post this in the SPAM zone.
  If your mad about it either get a mod or leave or ignore it.
  Like seriously. This thread just screwed you over since you just called the whole community trolls or retards.
  Grow up.

  Just to point this out, there is this super cool thing called an "ignore list." You can put a person's username into it, and it blocks every single post from that particular person. It's super cool for someone who offends you/annoys you/just plain gets on your nerves. :D

  Quote from NewbieNub;47850:

  Correction, the ice is already breaking.
  
  
  
  On the other hand, what exactly is a troll?
  
  LMGTFY!
  
  In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun “troll” can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in that was an excellent troll you posted. While the term troll and its associated action, trolling, are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe many intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context.
  
  You definetly did [1], yes?
  
  
  Alright, lets read on!
  
  As described by Robert Bond in The International Review of Law, Computers & Technology, trolls usually exhibit a typical pattern of behavior:
  
  In ‘The Art of Trolling’ published on the web it is suggested that ‘in Usenet usage, a “troll” is not a grumpy monster that lives beneath a bridge accosting passers by, but rather a provocative posting to a news group intended to produce a large volume of frivolous responses. The content of a “troll” posting generally falls into several areas. It may consist of an apparently foolish contradiction or common knowledge, a deliberately offensive insult to the readers of the news group or a broad request for trivial follow-up postings.[3]
  
  
  Ahhhh... Sounds like a particular someone who've posted in this thread towards everyone on Ma/b/inogi!
  
  
  The contemporary use of the term is alleged to have first appeared on the Internet in the late 1980s,[4] but the earliest known example is from 1992.[5] It is thought to be a truncation of the phrase trolling for suckers. That phrase is itself derived from the fishing technique of slowly dragging a lure or baited hook from a moving boat, waiting for fish to strike, a technique known as trolling.[6] The word also evokes the trolls portrayed in Scandinavian folklore and children's tales, as they are often creatures bent on mischief and wickedness. The verb "troll" originates from Old French "troller", a hunting term. The noun "troll", however, comes from the Old Norse word for a mythological monster.[7]
  
  
  Ooohhh, maybe this thread is a fishing bait for us to bite!
  
  
  While some webmasters and forum administrators consider trolls to be a scourge on their sites, some websites welcome them. For example, a New York Times article discussed troll activity at the /b/ board on 4chan and at Encyclopedia Dramatica, which it described as "an online compendium of troll humor and troll lore".[4] This site and others are often used as a base to troll against sites that they can not normally post on. These trolls feed off the reactions of their victims because "their agenda is to take delight in causing trouble".[18]
  
  
  Trolling has been portrayed disdainfully in mainstream media outlets, often referencing the willingness of some Internet trolls to go to extreme lengths in their attempts at eliciting reactions.
  
  On March 31, 2010, the Today Show ran a segment detailing the deaths of three separate adolescent girls and trolls’ subsequent reactions to their deaths. Shortly after the suicide of high school student Alexis Pilkington, anonymous posters began trolling for reactions across various message boards, referring to Pilkington as a “suicidal slut,” and posting graphic images on her Facebook memorial page. The segment also included an expose of a 2006 accident, in which an eighteen-year old student out for a drive fatally crashed her father’s car into a highway pylon; trolls emailed her grieving family the leaked pictures of her mutilated corpse.[19]
  
  In February 2010, the Australian government became involved after trolls defaced the Facebook tribute pages of murdered children Trinity Bates and Elliot Fletcher. Australian communications minister Stephen Conroy decried the attacks, committed mainly by 4chan users, as evidence of the need for greater Internet regulation, stating, “This argument that the Internet is some mystical creation that no laws should apply to, that is a recipe for anarchy and the wild west.”[20]. Conroy has been noted in the past for his advocacy of Internet censorship. In the wake of these events, Facebook responded by strongly urging administrators to be aware of ways to ban users and remove inappropriate content from Facebook pages.[21]
  
  Generally, reactions from Internet forums have been critical of trolls’ recent media portrayals, stating that trolling is essentially nothing new and has been a part of Internet culture since its inception. While not condoning the viciousness of some trolls’ attacks, forum discussions regularly express concern that mainstream media coverage of trolling ultimately results in more trolling, since widespread attention represents exactly the kind of reaction trolls seek.
  
  
  Alright then, no more attention for you?

  Perhaps you should grow up if you forget something as basic as the difference between your and you're.
