03 Mar On trolling
Trolling has becoming a recent popular topic among friends. While funny, entertaining, cathartic, and many other things, it in and of itself does not serve to actually improve things and can even destructive impact to potentially valid ideas still in the seeding process. My approach, as has been applied to many other areas of my life, will now be applied to all social forums. It boils down to simply asking “why not?” instead of just “why”.
Therefore, aside from the opportune irresistible moments where trolling serves the purpose of amusing enlightenment, rational examination and debunking, or intelligent redirection, I personally resolve to “troll screen” (for lack of better term) all my writing and focus on constructive thoughts, withdrawing from the noisy exchanges of ego driven banter for its own sake.
