A day to day acount of the whacky and wonderful world of Muggaz - i tend to be having too much fun these days, and often cannot remember moments due to debauchery - its time the internet repayed my loyalty by recording my antics.

Hello, my name is Muggaz, and I am a troll.

I like to question people’s way of thinking, I like to perhaps through a spanner in the works every now and then.

As a Troll, you really have to have a dynamic personality, and I am glad to say, that whilst dynamic, I am ever steadfast in what I believe.

There are some people who are only part time trolls – i.e. they turn into trolls at certain times, however, generally they refrain from sharing their opinion, because of a valid fear of ostracism from those who don’t like trolls…

My understanding of a Troll was someone who has nothing constructive to add at all? Someone who picks a fight, just for the sake of picking a fight… When I thought this was the definition of troll, I must admit, I wasn’t so proud to be a troll… It affected my status within the community.

I am more proud than ever to call myself a troll now, because my definition of a troll has been subject to change because of my ‘trolling’

Standing up and saying what I believe, this is an important aspect of who I am – apparently, this makes me a Troll.

Trolls - by my definition, add a bit of flavour to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, I have a somewhat overbearing persona, and people perhaps take me for more of a Troll than I really am!

I am somewhat inspired by the term troll in reference to me, because it means I have really gotten to someone, and they only way they can deal with it is abuse the system.

A Blog site where people are encouraged to agree with the powers that be – well, I won’t ever let happen… well, not in this site at least, because the powers that be have whack ideas and are so ignorant to other viewpoints, they are classed as troll viewpoints. This is not true all the time, those powers often have valid and insightful opinions; you had just better not disagree with them!!!

At JU – I am a Troll – Loud and Proud!

BAM!!!

I know, I have been looking for the one with a big club and a nice chick but I still haven't put my hands on it.

I'm sure I will get one soon or later...

Regarding the points, I doubt that the systems will change. So you should go with it anyway. You are lucky, you got fan and detractors, and you get a lot of comments on your blog.

Mate, Stop looking for the rank or you will go from troll to Gollum...

BTW, I wasn't going to say this because of the embarassment it might cause to the conspiracy theorists but a trolling zing only causes someone to lose (on average) around 1 to 4 points depending on their access. Only an admin (and there are only 2 that might even potentially do it really) can do serious trolling damage and I haven't been using the trolling button very often. Though I might make an exception...

Anyway, people running around claiming they got "trolled" for X hundreds of points are likely ignoring the variable of your score being based on the last 30 days (which just means that points you got 31 days ago scrolled off the counter).

For a guy who has repeatedly said that he doesn't care about points you seem to "whinge" on about it fairly frequently.


Greywar - I dont whinge... If you know how I can possibly articulate the situation without sounding like I am whinging - please help me, because that is obviously a skill in writing I do not possess yet - I am merely letting the people know what the situation is,a nd the trolling button clearly is abused when it comes to me - i.e. a troll!

How anyone can justify marking someone as trolling on their own blog is beyond me... it's that smell of fascism again, not being able to say what you think on YOUR OWN blog without fear of detraction... of course, I dont fear detraction, but others within the community might, and I can imagine that some would think twice about what they say.

BAM!!!

however, guys like BlueDev and Greywar have helped me realise, that I wil always be a troll here, because my particular opinion and stance is more often than not mis-alligned with the 'Community' and those that run it.


Hmm, I would really like to know what my posts had to do with the idea of being misaligned with the community. In fact I very clearly remember applauding your desire to stand up and say what you believe, no matter what the opinions of the community are. So tell me in what way my comments had anything to do with you being a troll. Oh, because you didn't like the fact that I said it appeared to me that you were playing the victim? I am failing to see the connection here.

And I am still trying to figure out, after all the many posts that have explained that you only keep points for 30 days, how you can really think that you have lost hundreds of points to the "trolling" button. Frankly I think you are giving yourself a bit too much credit there, as I doubt hundreds of people would actually bother to come in and hit the "trolling" button the requisite number of times for you to lose that many points. The whole conspiracy thing is what led me to say you were playing the victim card in the first place, and even after I admitted that I very possibly could have misinterpreted what you had to say you still come back with your "I'm a victim of abuse" line. If you don't like what I have to say, fine, but don't deny that I have very clearly stated that I think it is great you speak what you believe.

BlueDev... yourself and Greywar merely defined that I will always be trolled when my opinion is different to 'Public opinion' It turns out, I am on an American website, where my opinion seems to vary from 'Public Opinion' alot... ask Brad for the numbers - I am not continuing this conversation anymore. Point's go missing from my total score - not my weblog score. That number of points lost would be in the thousands...

Please read my very first line. My name is Muggaz - I am a troll! Their is no issue here... I am just pointing out the bleeding obvious!
