Trolls

I notice on the lotro forums a troll is defined by someone who makes comments that disagree with the majority of the posters on this forum. Whereas in my experience a troll is someone who is rude and makes personal attacks. So yeah just because someone makes a post saying lotro is not worth buying or has some flaws doesnt make them a troll in my books. Just as posting the game is great doesnt necessarily disqualify you from being a troll. So try to read others posts from an objective viewpoint without letting your own beliefs effect the way you set the tone of your responses.

I'll probably be attacked for making this thread but, I started a thread where I called the game boring and was labeled as a troll which i believe was unfair.
