An internet message board species, who has very little in the way of education and hardly any thought control. This species is a rarity that is subject to scientific behavioural problems.
Humans are advised to pleasure such a species with humour and sarcasm, as facts and honesty are not absorbed by this concerned species.
If you happen to meet the species concerned away from an internet message board, then I do declare that be a miracle.

Get the concernicus mug.Related Words
A term of abuse. Mostly used in forums where there is a fairly well-defined orthodoxy, usually political (it could be conservatism, feminism or nearly anything else) that all members are assumed to agree with by default, "concern troll" can refer to nearly anyone who expresses disagreement or skepticism about some aspect of that orthodoxy, while agreeing with other parts of it.
Supposedly, the idea is that the "concern troll" is actually an adherent of some other, opposing orthodoxy, disingenuously pretending to be sympathetic to the goals of the forum in order to disrupt it or sow dissent. Perhaps this actually happens (this longtime forum user is skeptical, having NEVER seen a clear example), but usually, the accusation comes from someone who can't imagine honest disagreement with his or her favored ideology, and thus says more about the accuser than the accused. Basically it's a bludgeon used by people with very black-and-white views on some topic, against anyone more nuanced than themselves.
Accusing someone of being a concern troll is generally a bad idea. Even if you're right about the "troll"'s motives, which you probably aren't, that doesn't make the "troll"'s arguments wrong; in other words, calling someone a concern troll is a basic ad hominem fallacy. The term is used to shut down, rather than to advance, discussion.

I tried to tell them their statistics were discredited decades ago, but they just shouted me down and called me a concern troll.

Get the Concern Troll mug.When you say that you care about something, but actually do not care. Unlike sarcasm, then intention is for others to think that you really do care.
example on social media:
DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS WITHOUT TYPING LOVE
( image of dying/limbless child here )
user1: LOVE
user2: LOVE
user3: Is no one actually inspired to to learn robotics/engineering to help kids like this? To donate? To fly over there and help?
user4: LOVE
user2: @user3, idc. i just wanna play games and masturbate, but typing "love" makes me feel like i'm helping
user3: @user2, at least you're honest
user5: @user2, that's false concern

Get the A.W.A.C. ( all white and concerned ) mug."I am concerned, therefor I am right." The assertion that if one is coming from a position of concern (for the feelings of others, or a specific problem), then their conclusions must be viewed as credible.
1. The more time I spend online amongst atheists and atheists themed web sites, the more I understand that it is filled with intolerance, mockery, disdain and immaturity.
Every time I speak out against the arrogant attitude of many atheists, I'm simply written off as a troll or as a Christian. I've not come across a group of people, like the ' new atheists' who are so willing to so blindly follow their leaders anywhere they take them...except maybe the Christians and Muslims. A great bulk of the ' new atheists' time is spend mocking and belittling others, like they're a bunch of drunk frat boys having a laugh at someone elses expense. Anyway, that's how I see it.
