so basically trolls == Dunning-Kruger?
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoIn the spirit of the post, I'd rather compose it as: trolling == Dunning-Kruger.
- sliverstorm 14y agoIsn't "trolling" intentional? If it's just because you don't know better, it isn't trolling.
- NinetyNine 14y ago"Trolling" is a term of perspective, if you are witnessing the trolling then you have no information about the original intent.
- batista 14y agoI find trolling used as a "term of perspective" an extremely vague blanket accusation that hinders discussion. If it's an obvious trolling, e.g something that can not be considered anything else than an attempt at troll, it's ok. But characterizing anything else trolling is just an easy cop-out of the discussion.
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoI was referring to trolling as something one does, rather than troll as something one is.
- raganwald 14y agoINAE in internet behaviour, but I can clarify what I meant: I think of a troll as having malicious or mischievous intent, whereas I was speaking to people who are genuinely trying to add signal, but may not have the experience or depth of knowledge to do so effectively given the nature of an open Internet discussion.
