Hurray!
Research time!

wellllll...
I am no expert...or novice even ...
But it is a good idea for all to "know thy enemy"

So I searched...
and the top three links are suggested.
https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Troll ( with pictures!)
http://www.urban75.com/Mag/troll.html
https://www.mandatory.com/fun/172527...eginners-guide

I think the overwhelming drive for a troll is to upset the balance of normal dialogue....
From what I have read thus far...
"thread derailment" does not even come close to the real damage trolls aim at.

fascinating...
"Troll subculture"...
I never knew..

Trolling in my name is illegal!

Just becouse poeple don’t aggree with me and just have to post that in very strange and off topic ways which just derail the thread further of topic and then blame me for the stunt is legendary.

Usually I’m just on topic at first. But I follow the flow most of the time even if I have derailed one or possibly two threads.

So even though I think your posts are very relevant, they can give the impression that you are on the defensive! (maybe due to the Jolla Tablet story - or scam if you want).
it may annoy some people but some of your interventions have the merit to be done! some, not all of them!
to conclude, it takes a little bit of everything to build a big family

I don’t see any reason to be on the offensive. Poeple fighting on the interwebs is just lame.

So if you were to truly troll this thread should one make a post concerning Linux or related technical topics concerning N900 and so forth?

A good first step of trolling is going after specific people for their opinions.

This was a very clever way to smoke the trolls from their hiding place. A general accusation about trolling draws trolls. What would be the rock to throw to make them (us) to change as stones? But this was a relevant topic. To honour the true concern. But yes, trolling would be purposly to go after someone or many to make them to be annoyed until flipping. Then there comes the laughing troll gif as a mark of success. Haven't really seen real trolling on this forum yet and that's good. Spamming would have been more correct even though it is also quite harsh. Just "Try to keep posts on topic" or "Stop offroading" could have been convenient. It could be put that if what have occurred on these forums is called trolling then the header and the start of this thread should also be caunted as such. Cause this was clearly pointed to some and the manner was one that would sure be petrol on flames.
