  Anon’s grandfather should know there’s a human at the other end of all internet interactions and they deserve some respect too.

    This is a pretty common style of humor among older people IRL, I feel like? The problem isn’t that he isn’t thinking of them as people, the problem is that since they can’t see him laugh at their reaction they never get let in on the joke, which is an important part of the difference between joking and trolling.

    Eh, sounds like he is just doing some harmless trolling, I dont think that’s disrespectful. Basically the internet equivalent of a prank

      Yeah, this sounds like Ken M style pranking. Just playing the fool for some laughs. No one gets hurt, and some people might get a fun story out of it. This is what pranks are supposed to be.

        Depending on what was said, misinformation can indeed cause harm, either directly or indirectly.

    Yeah. Being an asshole is easy.

    The first troll didn’t know the term troll. It’s not a unique idea.

    Trolling to get a rise out of upsetting people has been linked to mental illness.

    Some trolls are just shit communicators and are too stupid to recognize the wake of their discourse. Gramps doesn’t appear to be one of those.

      The internet could be so much nicer if we all just treated people the way we wanted to be treated.

        Are you assuming my emotional reaction to any of this?

        Sounds like you’ve got a case of the stupids.
