Everybody here has had their fair share of "trolling".
Damn! I guess by these standards I AM a troll: "challenging the dominant discourse and assumptions of forum discussions in an attempt to break the status quo of groupthink". Who knew?

I am wondering why this is BAD, though. Some of my more entertaining discussions have been with the resident troll on another forum I visit. Besides, groupthink is often understoood as a pejorative term meaning that one is sinking to the lowest common denominator.

groupthink n : decision making by a group (especially in a manner that discourages creativity or individual responsibility)

Oh well. I guess I am a fairly predictable troll. I challenge blatant stupidity.
