How Not To Be The Dreaded Troll Everyone Avoids
Trolls. They are everywhere. With each new blog post you publish, you might secretly hope and pray none will appear. Ok, so maybe you don’t do that but I do sometimes. Especially when the topic at hand is a little (or a lot) controversial.
We all recognize them, and would rather banish that person from our virtual kingdom any day.
However, have you ever wondered if you yourself may come across as a troll? Hmmm… admittedly, I haven’t.
It’s not that I think I’m all that but I’m not confrontational by nature. Also, I’ve learned some pretty good tricks how to respond fairly and logically. So, when I read this post about the types of comments a troll makes. I was curious to test myself.
The good news, I’m 3/4 safe. The bad news, I now wonder about the know-it-all thing. I don’t intentionally go into a comment to show off my knowledge, but when people ask for help, I’ll answer. I suppose it’s all in the delivery.
Some interesting points brought up in that post. It’s certainly made me more aware of the comments I make in the future.

I’ve been called a Troll before – waaay back in the old days. I spoke up about something important and a lot of folks were ticked off about it. Sometimes you HAVE to stand up for what’s right – but then, sometimes you don’t 😉 Tough part is knowing when is when!
Yea. I think it’s really hard when some people interpret trolls differently kinda like how some people think the messages they opted in to are spam. I can’t imagine anything you have to say being troll-like but knowing you, I’m sure it is very easy for a blog owner and their fans to misinterpret things 🙂
