I was wondering if any of you remember being trolled when you were new to the internet. See, I know some people may have been forewarned as to the ways of cyberspace; while others wandered in blindly.

I remember years ago, I got into an argument with a staff member at another forum when I had just begun to communicate with people online, and I didn't realize that I was being trolled. I kept trying to reason with the guy and plead my case as eloquently and succinctly as possible, but his replies were the typical internet vernacular (of which I had no prior knowledge). Although I kept my cool, I was furious about the encounter for three days before I calmed down.


Edit: If you play the troll, please feel free to share your side too.
