Its been hard to tell recently.... Are people trying to be one, or are they just that dumb?? And I know I was "dumb" fish wise very recently, and still am in many ways, so I mean that in the most gentle and playful/joking way possible :laugh:
Trolls

I know what you mean Holly9937. Its like some of the most ercent ones know exactly what to ask to get ppl to respond, and then they keep going on and on asking the same questions just in a different way. I hope that they are just trying to get ppl riled up and are not doing some of the things they say they r. Anyway i just ignore those posts, i read them just for kicks, but I do not reply reason being if they haev read anything at all on this forum they would know the answer to most of these questions. Have a nice day!!
Are you trolling for responses? 
:laugh: :joke:
Un-informed people are pretty common around here (that is the purpose) and it's very hard to learn a lot of information quickly. Once a basis and understanding is accomplished then all the pieces come together, but when everything is new everything is confusing and people can come accross as Dumb quite easily. I remember the first response I wrote to a post around here, it has been erased, but I'm sure most folks who read it thought I was an idiot (some probably still do
)
We have a couple of Hard core trolls around here right now, It's usually easy to tell after a few days. People who continually cause trouble, or simply post response after response without contributing anything are trolls. other folks who come across wrong, or contribute poor information will quickly change their tune after a few days here and become a great part of the community. There are plenty of folks who come here and struggle, but the genuine ones are easy to seperate from the trolls.
The Trolls will come and go, Just don't let them get under your skin too much. That is after all exactly what they want.

im new here and i was called a troll today 
someone called me a troll because i gave a description of my over stocked tank that i had like 10 years ago. i just said it as an example, but maybe i should watch what i say for now on since this board is a little touchy, and if its because of real trolls well then i can understand them being suspicous of any new comers

Ahh there we go, lets throw in some profanity to really drive the point home.
ntt, just on a whim I went back and read your posts so far. You should not be suprised that folks think you are a troll. If you aren't you should probably work on proving it in a different manner than we've seen so far.

I've noticed that on this board people are really quick to call people trolls, it's almost as if they're elitist. People also make such a big deal about the troll if they just ignored the problem it would go away.
