Interesting piece on trolls and haters
User Posted Link
From which I conclude that SCC is a hater and pants is (sometimes) a troll
"Of course it's possible to troll at a much less violent level, simply by stalking through internet communities where people might be expected to think in a particular way, and saying things that will wind them up. If you would like to try this sort of trolling to see what the appeal is, I suggest you go on to the Comment is Free section of the Guardian's website and post something like, "People shouldn't have kids if they can't afford to pay for them. End of." Or: "men like skinny women, which is why you won't be able to find me a banker with a fat wife. WILL YOU?" Or: "Men like sex. Women like cuddles. GET OVER IT." Or: "Nobody even knows what's in a greenhouse gas. How can I take 'climate change' seriously when nobody knows anything about it?" Amusingly, I am getting quite wound up by these remarks, even though it was me who made them. Wiseman explains this as straightforward pranking. "That's a control thing, isn't it? It's baiting. Other people think you're being genuine, and actually all you're doing is trying to get a reaction out of them."
Hence "We weren't in the bottom 3 when Roeder was sacked, Gunn got us relegated"
Whereas haters just want to insult people,"Trolls aren't necessarily any more pleasant than haters, but their agenda is different ? they don't just want to insult a particular person, they want to start a fight ? hopefully one that has a broader application, and brings in more people than just the object of their original trolling."
SCC (most of the time) just wants to insult pants. He is a hater. Pants (sometimes) just wants to start fights. He is a troll.
Glad to have cleared that up.
