Confusion

I am a bit confused and for a good reason.

Whenever someone is “trolling” people call him a “troll” but what I seem to not get is why would a troll go trolling? Let alone fishing in general. Even if trolls did fish would they troll?

Help me out here.

When you insult people on the internet you are aggressive but stupid, like trolls.

Oh and btw… ÍSLENSKA MÓÐURRIÐILL! TALAR ÞÚ HANA?

But the word derives from baiting the fish and “trolling” them to land; hence the baiting part.

Screaming in text form isn't very poetic, it's vulgar and rude.

No, that's trawling.

I apologise for my all caps text.

You are man enough to apologize and for this I salute you!

On another note, you are right to think that trawling is what I am referring to BUT there is another way of fishing.

This is what I have gathered and I am now contemplating which is more correct, if any.

I still believe the word “trolling” refers to the behaviour of trolls.

I would be very surprised if I were, for that is not my intention. For you to think otherwise is very ignorant, this is what we called an educated opinion.

Because we fish for fools who are not aware they have been caught in our net of lies.

Atheists believe in the Goddess Athe, who is wise and powerful beyond measure. They are some of the most religious people in the world.
