"Now, you could 100% believe that wrestling is fake. But you could also intentionally troll the guy by haranguing him about it, you know? Just to fuck with him, or to get a reaction out of him. And then afterwards, try covering your ass by saying
"But I can't be trolling, because it's what I really BELIEVE!!"."

This is a shitty example because wrestling is fake / pre-determined - or however else you want to describe it.
If someone was adamant that it wasn't fake, or tried to defend it as a legit sport etc and SWIM made sure to constantly reply with examples debunking its authenticity - like quotes from wrestlers, executives etc etc but that person still refused to change his mind - then that absolutely isn't trolling.
If multiple people then started rounding on the person saying it's fake, complaining he's fagging up the thread etc and appealing to AMOD to thread ban them and perhaps succeeding then that is pure faggotry and those people are pathetic
As another example, I might think that "Gender Affirming Care" for minors is morally corrupt and would allow children to be surgically mangled or chemically scarred with hormone blockers, before they're competent enough to even form an actual opinion for themselves as an adult. But if I logged into Facebook and decided to fuck with a bunch of pro-Trans groups, just to elicit a reaction? That'd definitely be trolling.
I once had an account on Mumsnet which was originally a Mothers forum famous for nonsense threads "my darling hubby complains I spend four hours taking a shit, am I wrong?" etc but in recent years has become famous for being vehemently gender-critical aka against trans women in womens spaces etc. They are also very vocal with "we are pro free speech" when they get criticism from the woke/trans mob for being anti-trans
I went into their feminist forums and just presented the other side of the argument on issues like the pay gap etc. I wasn't "trolling" - I was calm, rational and logical but when you have 10 people at once all replying to you and you then reply to all 10 to debunk them, then it's easy to get marked as a "troll"
Likewise on the tech forum that
Chris
referred to, that forum in recent years has become notorious for veering very far left whilst claiming to be open to both sides of the spectrum. I wasn't a "troll" - I had been on there for 20 years just in the AV section before deciding to check out the politics section. Again, calm, rational, counter points to the woke nonsense made it easy to get highlighted as a troll
Furry
I think we've butted heads a lot, but it's been in threads like the Ukraine thread, over random topics and posts. Not because he's a furry.
