*gasps* i used to put stick on earrings on my trolls that didn't have gems.. it wasn't MY bellybutton but still, that's funny that we had the same idea for the earrings

Psh, I was more hardcore. I used a hot glue gun and some fake gems. My belly button will never be the same. x_x

This is a tricky subject with more faces to it than Starscream's had deaths.

I have been a troll on several occasions elsewhere and I have been trolled. However, I only to troll by being trolled myself. The first fews times it took me forever to realize that I was being trolled and since after I have taken a hard stance against trolling when it suits me.

The signs of trolling (my own insider observations):

-Trolls rarely offer up evidence and when they do, it is either inconclusive or is non-credible
-Trolls skip over points and avoid answering questions, but when they do, it is utter nonsense
-Trolls always back-pedal and use circular logic
-Trolls get real nasty and try to hit under the belt as often as possible

Yeah, those criteria sound about right. Trolls aren't in it to be right (well, not for the most part) but they sure as hell will avoid all of your credible, logical arguments to push forth their inflammatory message of seething hatred. O_o
