Good post Direckshun. I haven't been here long but, this board is very different than most in terms of trolling. Here, most of the trolls seem to be regulars who are fans of the home team.
On other forums, trolls are from other teams. There are a few niners fans here that are pretty nuts but, the donks and gaiders fans are pretty nice. Every board has a few assholes but, not trolls.
This forum has a different vibe. It is pretty funny but, it's hard to take them seriously because it's tough to differentiate trolling from reality. The message is always going to be lost in translation.
I don't have a persona here. I don't say things I wouldn't say in the real world.
There are obviously a lot of people here with personas which is fine. But, they shouldn't expect people to ever take them seriously.
