since when did voicing your own opinions be considered trolling? as human beings, dont we all have an obligation to have the right of freedom of expression? i dont see sarcasm or memes as in anyway offensive or disruptive to anybody... and how does making a joke thread make someone a troll? its not even funny anymore that people assume people are "trolls" when they see an opinion, or a controversial topic being created by someone. adding to this, "d0es spalling liek this maek som1 a tr0ll?" no it doesnt, but when people see this, they say, TROLL! it seems that people actually want to assume people are trolls... and this is a serious topic, dont call me a troll because thats just being ignorant EDIT: man, you people honestly don't understand why i'm trying to say here -.-

You don't know what a troll even is, thus making this thread fundamentally wrong.

When people are loosing arguments, that's what they seem to fall back on when they can't argue back: "Oh yeah? Well... YOU'RE A TROLL!" T_T It's annoying.

Basil considers anything that it doesn't like a troll.

PRO TIP (to most of Basilmarket): if you're gonna mention some catch phrase/word/whatever, at least know what the words definition is and try not to make up your own definition for it.
