1) Gotcha Troll = Poses a question or makes a statement that is inflammatory to lure opinionated people in who will post a contrary viewpoint. After this troll and his buddies argue with the person who disagrees with them, they give up, and their last resort, to save face, is to call the post "troll bait" and the person with a contrary view a "troll".

(2) Real Name Policy Troll = Relentlessly attacks the GooglePlus Real Name Policy, accuses Google of being "intolerant" or "against freedom to choose an identity", and will not listen to any other viewpoint. Exhibits a distinct lack of sympathy or sensitivity to people who have been stalked and abused by nickname and anonymous users. They get angry with the "you can't wear a Halloween mask to hide your identity in a bank" analogy and emphasize the fringe exceptions to authenticity, such as whistleblowers, people who don't want their boss to read their political comments, or those who live in oppressive countries.

(3) Reverse Troll = Keeps asking innocent sounding questions, in a nice way that is atypical for most trolls, but is trying to derail a conversation (threadjacking), or trying to get attention, not by being abrasive, but by acting dumb and needy. They are the reverse of a regular troll, who tries to get attention by being hateful, accusatory, and filthy.

(4) Concerned Troll = Pretends to agree with a post, but expresses "concerns" ("I agree with what you're saying, but what about ....?") that are designed to disrupt the thread and make people argue about an off topic issue or get them to abandon their opinion, due to the "validity" of these "concerns".

(5) Covert Filth Troll = Will post innocent sounding comments that contradict or mock what someone posts, but remains relatively mild and civil -- until you confront them with their true trollish goals. When you test them by posting "you sound like a troll", they show their true colors by calling you filthy names and accusing you of being a troll (similar to the Gotcha Troll).

(6) Diplomatic Troll = Acts like they are the only mature and rational person in the conversation. Will invite you to expound further on your views supporting the "intolerance" and "disrespect" you are showing to humanity by not agreeing with them. For example, if you oppose pseudonyms and anonymous users, they call it "intolerance" and "disrespect for a person's right to choose a fake identity". They will disregard your mention of there being exceptions, and will focus on the part of your position that they don't like, trying to make you look extreme, fanatical, or irrational. By name calling, and saying they hope to "win you over", they express their own intolerance and disrespect of opposing views. If you question an authority figure they like and voted for, they accuse you of being anarchist, or hating all authority in general. Their pseudo professorial demeanor is a disguise to trick people into thinking they are being sincere and seeking to reconcile, while they insult and provoke.
I'm a troll hybrid!

True, New England would be best for traffic but you should definitely go with what you're most comfortable.

so apparently the only way to not be a troll and be a part of a conversation is to be allowed to speak your opinion as long as it is nice, and never to provide alternative views or points to try a persuade or convey and opposite point or opinion

all i can do is agree with you and say how much i enjoy the rose smelling crap being typed, on the screen? im confused, but thats normal

and words like respect and tolerance can be interpreted in many different ways( EYE OF THE BEHOLDER) those or context situation between what one person thinks is Ok compared to anothers, who's version is more true

haw can you expect everyone to adhere to your interpretation of respect or tolerance

heres a new Troll type you might fit in

Politically Correct Troll- Trying to classify everything so you know where you stand and you can hold yourself in the highest opinion because you diverse outlook makes you look best

Ya. Actually. lol Which is why when I'm 'trolling', or other people are 'trolling', I call it 'flaming'. People like DSB, are trolls.
