    Indeed. I'm pretty bad at it though. I am, however, good at ninjaing others--saying something they wanted to say before they could--although most of that is "dumb luck". I still give them the ol' trollface.

    Nope. I can honestly say that I've never been a troll, nor an anti-brony for that matter. I was a non-brony, as all of us were at one time, but I was never a hater. I do joke around from time to time on here, but I don't think that counts as "trolling" because I'm not trying to upset anyone. Quite the contrary. I'm trying to make them laugh. Ha... ha... ha...

    I read that in Scar's voice with the same facial expression. That made me laugh quite hard!

    I don't troll, but over time I have seen many trolls in action and figured out their methods so to speak so as to arm myself against trolling.
    I actually often tend to get along fairly well with trolls since I can gauge when they're trolling and when they're serious and so long as they're not causing any serious problems I'll leave them to their work if the person being trolled can take it (this is on other sites, troll here and I won't hesitate to act).

    Basically the more you know about trolling, the harder you are to troll.

    The fact that I am always trying to be the internet nice guy makes me pretty hard to troll. I just never get mad. When there's just a blatant troll trying to offend everyone, such as someone going into EPR and giving it all 'ur all gay', I completely ignore them, and try to persuade others to do the same.

    I see what you mean, but when I troll, it can get a bit extreme, but not to the point where I'm emotionally involved. Being a troll that's emotionally involved is a fail in itself. (Also, love the video you linked XD)

    Lol, where do you usually troll?

    Sounds like a good method, but in my experience I've found that ignoring trolls may be the best course of action... it really depends on what they're trolling you on though. Like if they're trolling your artwork, ask them how you can improve, it's that kind of stuff that can get trolls off guard. I usually never do my trolling like that though, so stupid.

    I'm doing a trolling op targeting fanfiction archives of fandoms, basically a plethora of trollfics related to the fandoms. Sometimes I troll people on Omegle.
