it's an interesting tactic to suppress dissent.

of course, an internet "troll" is someone who posts things they may or may not believe in an attempt to conjure humor/shock/outrage, i.e. attention.

for example: desus was the quintessential "troll" poster of okayplayer.

in my opinion, espousing and articulating a genuine opinion intelligently (perhaps an unfavorable one) is not "trolling".
