      Anon’s grandfather should know there’s a human at the other end of all internet interactions and they deserve some respect too.

        This is a pretty common style of humor among older people IRL, I feel like? The problem isn’t that he isn’t thinking of them as people, the problem is that since they can’t see him laugh at their reaction they never get let in on the joke, which is an important part of the difference between joking and trolling.

        Eh, sounds like he is just doing some harmless trolling, I dont think that’s disrespectful. Basically the internet equivalent of a prank

          Yeah, this sounds like Ken M style pranking. Just playing the fool for some laughs. No one gets hurt, and some people might get a fun story out of it. This is what pranks are supposed to be.

        Yeah. Being an asshole is easy.

        The first troll didn’t know the term troll. It’s not a unique idea.

        Trolling to get a rise out of upsetting people has been linked to mental illness.

        Some trolls are just shit communicators and are too stupid to recognize the wake of their discourse. Gramps doesn’t appear to be one of those.

                So maybe it’s less about treating people they way you want to be treated, and more about treating people they way they want to be treated?

            Are you assuming my emotional reaction to any of this?

            Sounds like you’ve got a case of the stupids.

    It’s amazing how often people assume behavior like trolling started with the Internet. That shit has been around forever.

    This one’s a classic, and I reread it with the same feeling as I get listening to a song I like.
