What I am more interested in is the liminal space between the perception of the troll and the face-bending positivity which consists the locus of the critical, which I believe is somewhat in contention at least in art.

"The negative troll engages in deliberately illegal and/or damaging and disruptive behaviour <http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Griefing> with highly destructive effects, such as online vandalism (like those intentionally defacing RIP sites <http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread850335/pg3> ) and continuous aggravation through comments designed as bait for responsive targets (cyberbullying <http://bc.ctvnews.ca/alleged-amanda-todd-tormenter-tracked-down-1.997244> ). There are those that think the act of trolling may also operate at a far more innocuous level, originating from those with more positive intentions or altruistic motivations. This troll version is termed the constructive troll <http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f7/operation-dustyce-696539/> . The constructive troll advocates social change through exposing establishments, organisations and individuals they view as corrupt, deceptive, or criminal <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLDHx2OhXA&feature=related> . Constructive trolling differs from negative trolling through its lack of malevolence (think: Devil¹s advocates or whistleblowers) with a deliberately funny, or cheeky, emphasis <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Td1tOAJxY&feature=related> . Constructive trolls may seek to bring attention to issues like the suppression of freedom of information laws <http://epublications.bond.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1432&context=h ss_pubs> , covert censorship, or hypocrisies evidenced at a heavily-institutionalised level (think: Wikileaks or the Occupy movement)..." - From "Trolls, Anonymity & Accountability in the Digital Age <http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/10/27/the-problems-with-anonymous-trolls -and-accountability-in-the-digital-age/> " (2012). -- | mezbreezedesign.com <http://mezbreezedesign.com> _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
