There is a distinctive pattern to Troll behavior. It has zero to deal with their opinion on a given topic. The pattern is: create an argument, bait members with insulting comments, add fuel to fire by using profanity and name calling.
The win for them isn’t sharing knowledge it is getting an established member angry enough to mimic their behavior.
I see it over and over again that there must be a book that guides them.....even their offer to “have a beer” is repeated.
Unfortunately, they stay until they are completely ignored or they get angry enough to be banned.
BTW I believe there is no disagreement over whether the sailboat had the right of way. 99% of the time if they have their sails up most believe they have right of way. The 1% involves stationary objects .....like moored aircraft carriers.
If youve seen me boating in Georgian Bay you'll know me a a courteous to a fault boater who slows to 0 wake when near paddle boarders and canoes . I look out for other vessels and adjust my course and or speed to ensure we do not meet..
No, you're missing a key point. Canuck didn't just post something that people disagreed with. What he did was to consciously decide to JOIN CSR and them immediately (in his first TWO posts) begin baiting people into arguing. What else would you call this behavior?
I actually don't disagree with some of the things he said (we power boaters can be just as much a$$holes as sail boaters, even if we don't dress as well). And upon reading the rest of the thread, Canuck seems like a decent guy (except that he drives a Goldwing). But in this case, in this thread, he was trolling. It's not his disagreeing that makes him a troll in this case. It's the premeditated decision to join the group specifically for the purposes of stirring up an argument, and then stirring up the argument. This is about as text book of an example of trolling as you could imagine.

There is a huge current there, and if you're not paying attention you can easily be swept sideways… I've stayed at the marina beside that ship many times.Great video.....I wonder how he got into that situation.....
Not me, I love sailing… Love the silence, love the technical aspects of it, love it allIt looks like he said "The hell with sailing... I want to be a power boater"
99% of the time they would be right… and nice to see you're such an expert on trolls, even though to be quite frank with you I don't think you know what you're talking about.
So let's analyze this:
Starts off nicely:
99% of the time they would be right
First condescending insult:
and nice to see you're such an expert on trolls
Second insult and bait:
even though to be quite frank with you I don't think you know what you're talking about
You really need to look at what you write before you hit Post Reply.
And you are the self appointed CSR troll police...right ?
Guys, it was not my intention to come here and get you fighting with each other… If you're gonna be pissed off, be pissed off with meNo. Just a guy who can look past the emotional outbursts and see the obvious. If I point out the sun and the moon, will you get angry and call me an astronomer, too? Or will you give it a thought and think “hmm, maybe he’s right?” I’m betting on the astronomer thing.
I joined the group because there were a couple of comments that were so derisive of sailors that after three days of trying to ignore them, I was finally pissed off enough to join and say my piece.
I think Canuck was in the classifieds section looking to upgrade to a Sea Ray
Bingo! How did you even know what’s going on in the Sea Ray forum if you weren’t looking for it? I’m not monitoring what’s going on over in the Hunter or Chapparal forums. And I’m certainly not joining them just to start arguments. If you are not a member or a fan of Sea Ray Boats, why does it bother you what’s going on in this group? If this is the sort of thing that gets you fired up, you probably shouldn’t go on the Crownline forums right now.
As for the attire, I was speaking of your formal wear, with the snappy blue blazers and the white hats!
Dude what did you take your picture with. It looks cool.I think Canuck was in the classifieds section looking to upgrade to a Sea Ray
Let's analyze this one:Can we get you some salve for that butthurt your suffering from? I'd hate to see you ever hanging around with a crowd of sailors if this little bit of teasing bothers you.
