Trolls and Trolling On The Internet

Here's my opinion about trolls on the Internet. I think most people are trolls or trolling on the Internet. There are people trolling for info, trolling for a good deal on merchandise, trolling for porn, trolling for friends, trolling for gossip and all kinds of other things. You could almost say that everyone who uses the Internet is a troll because everyone is trolling for something.

Here's what I think about the CW message board. The only trolls on there are the ones that are constantly patrolling the board and harassing anyone who doesn't have the same opinion as they do or they get angry at what other people like as opposed to what they do. I was a troll because I didn't love Jensen or Dean and I didn't want to constantly post how great Dean is or how Jensen deserves an award for playing his character. That was a crock of shit in my opinion. I'm glad that now on the message board that more posters are posting about Sam and about Jared. Jared deserves just as much recognition as Jensen does. Both of them are deserving of awards for their acting. I happen to think Jared is the better actor myself and I don't give a crap what anyone else thinks. Jared has played a bigger variety of roles in movies and on Supernatural than Jensen has. Dean to me, is a one dimensional character and he's now getting boring. Sure, Dean still makes me laugh and that's about it. I can't take his character seriously at all. Dean tells one thing and then says the exact opposite later. Maybe one day we'll get to see some really great acting out of Jensen on the show, but I highly doubt it. I'd love to see Jensen play a totally different role than Dean on the show, just to see if he can and if it would be believable.
Now back to the trolls. I still remember the story about the troll under the bridge. That's a troll. Someone who sits somewhere and never leaves and tries to keep other people from ever invading that space because they think they own it. Then they constantly harass you for what you like or what you want to talk about. They never really listen to anything you say and that's happened on that CW board. I had the biggest troll ever telling me a bunch of crap and calling me how much crap and I never called her anything. How many of those posters thought that I was going to go all over the board and defend Sam's character? What the hell for? I love Sam and I love Jared for playing him, but if others don't, then that's their deal and they should be free to say whatever they want. I even tried to start a Sam bashing thread so they'd have a place to bash Sam and of course it was deleted by the mods. It wasn't a joke thread. The problem with that board is that you really can't express how you feel and that's just wrong. If someone hates a character, then they should be allowed to post about it and not just characters that some posters think others should hate or love to hate. If you don't like or even hate a character, then you should have somewhere to post about it. It should not just be for posters that love characters and especially Sam and Dean. It's like the love board or something and if you don't become a part of their little click and clan, then you don't belong or something and you have no right to post about what you feel and you'll be called a troll.

To me a real troll is someone that treats you like crap and is mean to you without even getting to know you. A troll is someone who comes on there and just says they hate something and never says why and never comes back. A troll is someone who is just waiting to pounce on you for having a difference of opinion or if you say something they don't like. That's a troll. It's funny that I've only seen that stupid stuff on the Supernatural board on the CW site. I've gone on the other boards and they don't call people trolls or they didn't when I used to post on them. It was just Supernatural. I think they need to come up with some other name for people who come on there to start trouble because calling them a troll is like being a hypocrite because the trolls that live on the message board are sometimes worse than the trolls that come on there to cause trouble. It's actually kind of funny. I also love the crap about respecting what others think, like they really do. It's a big joke and I laugh my butt off over the crap they spout. I think some of them love Dean's character because they are hypocrite's just like he is at times. You should practice what you preach to others and not just tell others what to do.

I could call some of my facebook friends trolls, but I know they are just having fun when they make certain comments to posts. The whole thing about the Internet is, if you don't want someone to read your crap or comment on it, then don't post or talk about it. I love how I read that article about trolling. You should not blog for a few days if a troll comes on to your blog. Just get rid of comments and other things or hide your blog. It's as simple as that. You don't want someone to make fun of you, then don't put your shit out there for everyone to read. The Internet is all public and whoever can read whatever you are posting or writing about. If I didn't want someone to read the crap I write, then I wouldn't write it at all or I'd keep it private. I have a blocked blog because I use it to vent on and I swear on it and then I feel good after I've let everything out.

I just think some people don't understand what a troll really is because everyone who's on the Internet could be considered a troll.
