Being annoying does not make one a troll, however.

And I think that you might be in a minority:

I leep Eep.

I see no evidence that shillyshalley has done so, all of hir posts having been thus far friendly and fluffy, therefore shillyshalley is not a troll.

Q.E.D.

Yep saying "fuck off" does raise tension and is a negative response.

I believe i have to chill a bit more before coming online in future.

Are we just discussing things that REALLY annoy, and how the originator of such things often just won't see how annoying they are?

Linguistic snobbery.

Intellectual snobbery.

Social snobbery.

Do you mean in RL or in internet-land?

Personally, I don't mind bad typing as long as the feeling of the message is obvious. Stream of conciousness typing, maybe?

I would never pull someone up on bad grammar in RL, though - it just seems so, erm..... snooty.

You know full well that if you keep editing that post it will grow to the size of the Magna Carta.

It isn't the poor grammar or the replacing of blanks with dots in itself - it's the stubborn unwillingness to try that .01 percent harder.

People who accuse those that they consider beneath themselves of "just not trying hard enough".
