A few times as a young bloke, I enjoyed genuine trolling - motoring along in a dinghy, with a lure on my tine, trying to catch Australian Salmon...
In marine transmissions engaging a trolling valve reduces pressure on the clutch-plates, allowing them to slip and thereby reducing torque in the prop. As with forum trolling, marine trolling necessitates a lot of energy being expended to very little effect.

What the actual fuck?
I think they are mad that in the face of their 'threat' of suspension, I suspended a few of them.

It seems that letting them know they are suspended is 'trolling', so I'll just ignore them. (note to posters - if I don't answer your post, I either forgot, or you are suspended)

Trolling is when people say things to get a rise out of another poster.
Do my posts give you a hard on?

DISCLAIMER: Sorry for the cisnormative nature of this gif. I know, i know, that getting a hard on has nothing to do with having a penis. Men get hard ons, even if they are men with clits. Unfortunately, the meme-iverse is still stuck in in the cis-past where the hard-onic social construct held us under the collective delusion that hard-ons required penises. I'll give myself 50 "Hail Intersectional Feminisms" and I'll try to "go, and sin no more."

Fishing is a social construct. There's a fine line between fishing and standing there looking like an idiot.

Rather than flirt with that line, I simply took up photography, and regularly photograph phishermen.

Apropos of nothing, Omar Khayyám was born in Iran, and Persia.
