troll logic

When one takes a complex issue/idea and oversimplifies it to a point where they think they have a grasp of it. This oversimplified version is then used to make arguments to justify ones impressive knowledge to others about the subject usually leaving gaping holes that are obvious to anyone knowledgeable of the original complex issue/idea while occasionally "Wow"ing similarly logically challenged individuals.

These people are generally not complete idiots and can even have higher level degrees that they will use to back their arguments whenever possible. While some people have a natural inclination towards using troll logic, it can be learned by others who see those using it move ahead or have them as a mentor on the subject.

The name comes from the persons retarded ability to comprehend even the simplest logic, especially if it proves them wrong. They will go to great strides to come up with any work out to make their original statement right, no matter how many logical fallacies they create in the process.

Similar to Elementary School Logic and usually employed in cases like that. And on some occasions it can degrade to full blown Insane troll logic

Does not apply to people who have physical or mental handicaps.

Dude 1: Have you seen Twitter, isn't all this new Social Media stuff really impressive. You should hire me as a consultant to help you capitalize on it.

Dude 2: No thanks, and it's not really. The net has done...

Dude 1: But don't you see how impressive the impact is that it's having. It spreads messages quicker than any medium in history, and it reconnects marketplaces. Admit it, as unoriginal as it is, it's still impressive.

Dude 2: Only if you don't care to understand how...

Dude 1: Don't go telling a business grad that he doesn't care. Alexander Graham Bell is probably happy his idea was so expounded and would be impressed.

Dude 2: Yes, a guy who died 80+ years ago would probably be impressed by it.

Dude 1: Well then we are on the same page and agree that it is impressive.

Dude 2: Wow you really busted out some serious troll logic to get to that conclusion.

Dude 1: Thanks. When would you like me to start?

Successful troll

A troll who manages to succeed in their mission of drawing up a response from his victims. This is managed through a carefully measured combination of subtlety, blatant disregard for personal beliefs, and a strong desire to piss people off without making it obvious they are a troll.

90% of what is on Urban Dictionary was posted by successful trolls. People lose their heads over these definitions!

fail troll

Some kid on forums who tries really hard to troll, but just gets shot down, because he somehow fails at the simple art of trolling.

Better Troll: nahbro

Fail Troll: nope, umad
Better Troll: do you have anything of substance to say or are you just gonna say stupid fucking shit because you're a fucktard?

Trollacter

A portmanteau of "Troll" and "Character" known to frequent Reddit, other social networking sites and message boards. They meet the definition of "troll" in that they usually post off topic or inane comments, but they do it with a theme relating back to their user name, thus the "character". As with all human endeavors, there exist hilarious trollacters, and subpar trollacters.

"911_was_an_inside_job is such a trollacter. All his posts seem to relate back to how 911 was an inside job, and we are all sheeple."

"YoMama was a great trollacter, throwing out a Yo Mama joke about every article"

Troll

A commonly accepted definition for this is someone who does morally questionable things for the main sake of causing chaos or destruction. There are good trolls and bad ones. A good troll has properly calculated actions to cause as much disruption as possible. A bad troll is one who either takes it too far or simply relies solely on stereotypes, edginess, and slurs as trolling. What makes a troll even better is if there are layers to them - as in, not always insistent on being an asshole, and maintains the ability of being serious and nice, even. Not all good trolls have to fit this criteria, though.

Person 1: "You're a troll!"
Person 2: "Yes, but a good one."
