Online trolling is the practice of behaving in a deceptive, destructive, or disruptive manner in a social setting on the Internet with no apparent instrumental purpose. From a lay-perspective, Internet trolls share many characteristics of the classic Joker vil- lain: a modern variant of the Trickster archetype from ancient folk- lore. Much like the Joker, trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting ‘‘hot-button issues’’ to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortu- nate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, mer- ciless amusement. This is why novice Internet users are routinely admonished, ‘‘Do not feed the trolls!’’.
Am I in the wrong for pointing out Zyklons behavior here? In turn Crensch has become a troll in his actions, seriously guys how do we turn this mess around for the sake of Voat?
Explain to me how my behavior looks anything like the following:

If your purpose is unknown how can one bring evidence to the table with someone who is not willing to be open and honest for the sake of the greater good?
Okay perhaps that summary of Zyklon’s behavior didn’t include other forms of trollery, in your case other forms are definitely present.
The Insult Troll
The Persistent Debate Troll
The Grammar and Spellcheck Troll
The Forever Offended Troll
There are examples of you falling into these categories dear Sir if you are honest about it.
So what’s your objective with all this? Did you make a promise to someone and you are merely honoring it? Are you prepared to burn Voat to the ground to achieve it?
Do you think I am insulting in order to troll? Do you think I am persistent in order to troll? Do you think my grammar and spell check responses are in order to troll? Do you think I am forever offended in order to troll?
Is it trolling to want to hold people accountable for their actions?

So what is you purpose with all these posts? To what gain?
Crensch ago
My purpose is my own to know.
Now explain to me how calling out bad behavior and using evidence to support my claims is trollish behavior.
