Question What's a TROLL?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hiya. Relative noob to this site. Dig it very much; lots of helpful & informative talk. Bass players tend to be deep.

Recently, in one of my first threads, I was quickly referred to as a 'troll' by a fellow bassist/musician.

I don't really care; it's obviously derogatory, intended to let me know I posted something dumb or insulting. I didn't feel that way, but could be wrong.

My interest is in the act of name calling. Why? If my question was "Why do all bassist suck and hate their Mothers?", I could dig it.

Not gonna write a novel. Just seems a waste of time; don't like a post, ignore it. Like maybe this one.

Don't worry about it. I was called a troll for asking how to fix a legitimate intonation problem.

Most of the people I see calling "troll" are being the trolls.

You don't know what a troll is? I bet you use a P bass with flats aim a bass where you can't fix the intonation.

See. I ridiculed your ignorance, insulted gear I personally hate and added a final jibe. Now that's some high grade trolling.

No it's not you boutique bass owning active bass gear snob: self trolling.

Finally I believe that most trolls on this forum are flat wound fanboy dinosaurs.
Anyhoo, you get the idea.

I went to the thread you are talking about and I saw no such trolling on your part. You were just saying that you felt most equipment is OK for most gigs, not that everyone who has high end stuff is an idiot, or even insinuating that, for that matter.

It's when you fish by towing lures at different distances and depths from a moving boat...but that's not important now.

Trolls typically live beneath highway overpasses, via ducts, and bridges. That also seem to have a penchant for goat.

What's a troll? You might as well have asked what a bass is.
