Damn, I thought I was the only person who noticed this. It's just like being in elementary school all over again. The bullies run rampant, but any time anyone stands up to the bullies, they get in trouble while the adults (mods) ignore the various abuses the bully gets away with regularly.
Life never really changes, does it?
I've seen very little trolling, definitely not rampant for what I'm subbed to. I have seen a fair amount of people that become offended by silly stuff.
I've seen the main two types of trolls: people who try to cause problems in a subtle way for the sake of entertainment (the good trolls), and the ones that attract downvotes by saying the dumbest shit you've ever read (the bad trolls). I actually enjoy the good ones, it seems like they don't tend to show up unless there's already a flame war going on, and they can be pretty funny. The bad trolls are just assholes in disguise. Sadly the bad trolls tend to get ignored.
You are saying truisms, everybody agrees there are good trolls and bad trolls aka assholes in disguise, the real point of contention is which one is of which kind.
Actually, the way your comment navigates around the question makes me think you are a bit of a troll yourself (not that there's anything wrong with it).
