trolls
 

Are some of the questions trolls? Every once in a while I run across a thread where I wonder if it is a troll or if the initiator is just an idiot or spaced out.

Recently trickykid and I were interspersing answers to a guy who just went on and on until trickykid politely told him to drop the subject. My thinking at the time was that the thread may have been a troll. Did trickykid think that it was a troll or did he just get tired of the subject?

Which thread was it? Sometimes I do get tired or even members who ask questions, if I feel I'm just repeating what I've already posted and they aren't reading it closely or seem to be trying, I'll just stop responding. I don't like the feeling I'm just wasting my time and effort on someone who doesn't take it seriously or is trying a little bit harder. ;)

But yes, sometimes I feel at times legitimate questions could be a troll.

It was this thread:

I wouldn't necessarily consider him a troll, more like someone who doesn't take advantage of searching the forums or researching different distributions on his own.. which ton's of sites out there describe each distro, etc. :rolleyes:

Oh well... but I know what you mean though.... ;)
