If you were involved in the discussion, go to the NationStates Forum Index (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/index.php), and look to the upper right-hand corner. You'll see a trio of hyperlinks, one of which will be "View Your Posts". Click that, and you'll be taken to a complete list of all extant posts that you have participated in.

No! Im afraid it isnt. Someone gave a very clear definition of what trolling was. I spent half an hour going through moderation and technical looking for it, but couldnt find it. I just hope it wasnt in general!

Trolling is posting words or material that is intended to provoke an angry, emotional response. Trolling is very similar to flamebaiting, and I'm not sure what the differences are.

Does this help any?

I think that trolling does not have to be malicious or personal, while flamebaiting is most of the time personal and also very malicious, though not always meant that way.

There goes my 2 cents :)

EXAMPLES ONLY

Trolling: I hate queers. - Generalized.

Flame baiting: You are a queer. - Personal.
