EA_Spouse Forum Becoming Thriving Community 65
An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku has a story about the EA_Spouse Live Journal, which has become its own community of sorts, fostering endless rumors and gossip about EA culture. The site has more than 3,500 replies to the original diatribe post and grows daily. The latest finds include a link to an NPR story on the whole EA fiasco (the NPR reporter trolled the board for interviews) and copies of the contracts for Senior Vice President of Human Resources Rusty Rueff and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial & Administration Officer Warren Jenson. When is a T-shirt coming out?"

To answer your question: a troll isn't a stupidly spelt and worded question. A troll is a, usually insincere, posting designed to attract emotional responses. You can certainly post something you fundamentally agree with while still retaining troll status. For example, a posting demanding, obnoxiously, the outlawing of abortion posted in a feminism group, or against the death penalty in a redneck forum, would usually be classed as a troll.
I'd say the words "Cry me a fucking river" coupled with the posting of an unsympathetic inflamatory body shows, to me, you wanted people to get pissed at you and respond emotionally, so I'd say what you wrote was a troll. A non-troll would have probably been worded as "I understand their frustraition, but these people should probably change jobs rather than complain constantly on forums like Slashdot."
Same view. Different way of putting it. One's a troll, the other isn't. See the difference?
