Trolling?

Remember these guys? Little frizzy haired, gem bellied, pocket monsters.

Well now troll means something new.

I read a response to someones opinion this morning that kind of actually woke me up, no literally it was 7:45am and Im at work half asleep.

It can't be worse then Pacific Rim. What a shit show that was, and it was one of my most anticipated of the year.

More importantly, if you're going to say that something sucks, you should give some sort of argument as to why; otherwise, you're just trolling and that is no longer going to be tolerated on IGN.

Why cant he say something sucks without giving an argument? Does someone have to give an argument when they praise something? Thats dumb. If someone wants to humor him and ask why he thought it sucks than he can explain but otherwise he is just a guy giving his opinion on a movie that is QUITE similar to this genre.
Why are people so troll happy lately? Like they want the INTERNET to be this sublime place where everyone should only say happy things and agree with the first poster or their a troll.

This goes into my qualms with sites banning and blocking me for BS. An article is written and I disagree. I post my disagreement, usually with my basis and BAM, BANNED!

Since when did not agreeing with people become trolling? Since when did having an opinion of your own, that may be out of line with the masses become trolling?
More than that was varmintx0's comment of "that is no longer tolerated on IGN". HOW THE FUCK did you know he was trolling and not just saying what he felt about a movie. Okay maybe 90% of people loved Pacific Rim, MAYBE I'LL LOVE IT, but that doesn't mean he has to. NOR does it mean he has to actually explain why. Maybe those 90% of people who love it won't pay him any mind about his comment and PERHAPS as a knowledgeable and aware person he knows this. In this case it would be a massive waste of time for him to write an essay explaining why it sucked UNLESS someone asks "why".

I'm sick of "troll" being the new "oh my God ONE GUY has his own opinion, we better squash this! TROLL!".

I swear we are one election away from one presidential candidate calling the other a troll, and everyone clapping.
