[edit]
Etymology
The contemporary use of the term first appeared on Usenet groups in the late 1980s. It is widely thought to be a contraction of the phrase "trolling for suckers," itself derived from the sport fishing technique of trolling. The latter can be compared with trawling.
The word likely gained currency because of its apt second meaning, drawn from the "trolls", which are portrayed in Scandinavian folklore, and children's tales, as often ugly, obnoxious creatures that are bent on wickedness and mischief. The image of the troll under the bridge in the "Three Billy Goats Gruff" emphasizes the troll's negative reaction to outsiders intruding on its physical environment, particularly those who intend to graze in its domain without permission.
JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, is -- is the troll the scary thing under the bridge, or is it a fishing technique? [...]
MR. PHILLIPS [attorney for eBay]: For my clients, it's been the scary thing under the bridge [...]
JUSTICE KENNEDY: I mean, is that what the troll is?
MR. PHILLIPS: Yes, I believe that's [...] what it is, although [...] maybe we should think of it more as Orks, now that we have a new generation[.]
(From oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court , eBay v. MercExchange, 29 March 2006.)
[edit]
Vicious circles
For many people, the characterising feature of trolling is the perception of intent to disrupt a community in some way. Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet culture: "Do not feed the trolls."
Often, a person will post a sincere message about which he is emotionally sensitive. Skillful trolls know that an easy way to upset him is to falsely claim that he is a "troll." In forums where most users are similar to each other, outsiders may be perceived as trolls simply because they do not fit into the social norms of that group. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a user who merely has different values, views, or ideas, and a user who is intentionally trolling. This can lead to genuinely hostile behavior, including flame wars.
[edit]
Troll culture
The long history of trolling, and the strong support for anonymous and pseudonymous discourse on the Internet, suggests that the story of the "anonymous troll" is only beginning, and is expected to continue developing in subtlety and sophistication [citation needed]. Whether there can be a "culture" consisting of people who do not know each other, except through a common experience of being bounced from Internet forums, is questionable, but some do claim it is possible and already occurring.
There is strong evidence for this in the existence of forums that claim to exist specifically to support trolls and trolling, to exchange troll tips, and to identify

Trivia:
Just after he said "Merhaba" (Turkish for "Hello"), he said "Zeki Muren" which was just surreal. (Zeki Muren is the legendary Turkish singer, he had a divine voice, he wore outrageous costumes and he was gay.) And after that, he said "Mo-rri-seyy" with a Turkish accent and smiled. (What a beautiful smile that was.)
During Let Me Kiss You, he changed the lyrics to "I've zigzagged all over Istanbul..."
During I Will See You In Far-Off Places, he changed the lyrics to "It's so easy for us to stand together..." then he looked at the security and then he looked back at us and said "...but it's so hard for our flesh to combine."
The crowd was insane as you would imagine it to be. Great crowd in general. Though there was this obnoxious guy in the back who kept shouting with an American accent "Morrissey, you are the quarry! You know that?" to which Morrissey replied "...YES?" as in "I wrote it, silly."
People were constantly cheering for Moz with football chants: Mo-ri-seeey, Mo-ri-sey, Mo-ri-sey, MO-RI-SEEEY! I saw a "Marry Me Moz" banner. Ireland and England flags in the front. Also an Israeli flag with a "Come to Israel" written on it, I heard. Morrissey thanked those who came from England and Italy to see him, then he said "And of course thanks to everyone who came from Istanbul" and everyone cheered.
At one point he mentioned the name Leon Eskenazi. He asked us if we knew him. We said "Yeees" but of course none of us knew him. Then he asked "Well who IS Leon Eskenazi, then?" and we went "Ummm..." and he laughed.
He changed quite a few shirts. And threw two of them to the crowd. (I got the sleeve of his pink shirt! OLEEY!) His perfume smells so nice. A bit sugar-y.
What an incredible, incredible night. Thank you, MO-RI-SEY. We love you so much. Come back soon!

For those who are still bitter about the Canada thing - GET OVER IT!
For those who are bringing up Armenians; the Turkish attitude towards what went on there is nothing short of a disgrace. Having said that, there are disgraces going on all over the world all the time so why keep bringing this one up?
Are we all supposed to boycott a country because of something that happened mostly before any of our Grandparent's lifetimes? I've been to Turkey twice and I loved it. Do I feel any guilt about it? Do I bollocks!
My country has amassed a healthy kill toll over the years and to be honest I feel no guilt over that either 'cause it had nowt to do with me. I live in Ireland and we did a pretty good job of wiping them out a century and a half ago but my neighbours and my wife don't hold me accountable.
Last of all, if Moz wants to boycott somebody for killing seals or boycott them for eating Marmite, I really don't care, that's his business and it's his mirror he has to look at himself at in the morning. As long as his conscience is clear he's doing the right thing.

Sorry for being late but I was so excited the last week I almost had no sleep, when I got home last night after the gig I could not stand anymore.
We arrived the venue around 3 pm when door opening was 6 pm. There were 4 people already waiting, when they let us in I ran so fast to take my place at the first row, right in the middle. The stage was very far from the barriers, I lost my hope for an hand shake or to make it on to the stage.
I made new friends as waiting, those people from Israel were really nice people. I hope Moz will have a gig in Israel one day too, I can guess their feelings.
Around 11 pm the band came on the stage, taking a bow they salute us and entered the “Panic” and the list went on.
Ever since the tour started I read every comment about the gigs and the setlists, now i can really can not understand the people who kept complaining about the setlists. It was superb, I believe Moz rewarded the city’s long and patient waiting with a great performance. He kept smiling between the songs, talked with the audience and thanked us for being there.
Somewhere near the end the guys standing next to me gave me the red roses they brought for Moz since I was the nearest person to the stage so I threw the roses but they couldn’t reach Moz though he tried to catch them, so he asked the bodyguard, took the roses and put them next to the loudspeaker. I feel sorry for the guys because they brought the roses but I’ve been thanked by Moz, really nice people, they only wanted to give their gift, no matter how.
Before they got backstage after “How Soon Is Now?” he threw his brown shirt to someone spesifically targeted. I couldn’t see who but she/he was standing between the barrier and the stage, so a special guest, I know what most of you will start thinking… yes yes maybe Julia :)
Each of the songs were greatly performed, I can’t choose a headlight, all of it was simply wonderful. I listened all the bootlegs which came out so far from ROTT tour, so I can judge last nights performance and I think it was one of the best. Yeah maybe I can’t be objective enough since it’s my hometown but Moz seemed very happy and enjoying it. Everyone sang the songs alone, and he got a bit surprised that ROTT songs were so well known, or I can maybe say “digested” by the audience. After “How Soon Is Now?” they came back for “Irish Blood, English Heart”, Moz in pink shirt this time. The song ended, he took his shirt off, looked where to throw it and yes my story begins here. At that point I could make my first eye contact and Moz decided to throw the shirt to me, with a gentle motion he threw it towards me, as the roses couldn’t reach him, the shirt couldn’t reach me and fell next to the feet of the bodyguard. I’ll mention something more here that all the bodyguards were very kind, yes, that’s true, after I read the comments about the guards in UK I was afraid that they would be rough in Istanbul too, if they were “really instructed to be so” as it’s been said about UK gigs. I’m lucky that the bodyguard saw Moz as he was throwing the shirt to me so without any hesitation he quickly gave the shirt to me. And the fight started, numerous hands , hundreds of fingers grabbed the shirt… ha ha ha
I’m someone who weighs 96 kg but I started waving with the force of those countless fingers like a child. All this while I remembered the comments about the “silly shirt fights” which caused injuries to people. And I totally agree that it’s silly to fight for a piece of clothe but my logic lost the fight versus vivasouthpaw inside me :) I made another attempt to get free but no, everyone around was whispering to me “Leave it to me, then we’ll share” I think I did the best and asked for bodyguards help, a young woman who was the chief of the bodyguards told me very quietly “Don’t worry, once we get it I’ll give it back to you, promise.” They took the shirt and the fight ended but the people kept waiting.

At the middle of the gig (I was at the front,so close to moz!) the guys standing next to me threw a bunch of flowers to the stage with a card on it "you are the lignt that never goes out" and Morrissey couldn't catch it! A guard gave them to him and he did put them very gently next to the speaker which was very cute and very kind.
And there wasn't anything to eat except meat to eat! there was't even salad or potatoes! I was starving!(8 hours!) How can they do this in a morrissey concert?! That was the first time I was ashamed of living in turkey!
My Father called me from outside before the gig and said there were some guys from the organasition, trying to find asparagus! As he tond me, Morrissey wanted to eat asparagus before gig. And he(moz) told them to close all the grills! well i'm appreciated, that smell was disgusting! (you can belive it, i had a friend from organisation he told me the same after the gig)
It was great! Morrissey looked great and absolutely fit! Never trust photos... I came from izmir to see him and it worthed every dime and every secont i spent on the road. Forget being just two meters away from moz, to be in the same city with him is a great feeling! It was a dream and it came true. Well, we all know that there is a light that never goes out and it's called hope...

The venue, Park Orman, is a park surrounded by a forest has the capacity of 10,000 people. Last 200 tickets were on sale two days before the concert but I don't know how many tickets they sold in total, I assume that at least 5,000 thousand people were there. So the venue seemed to be the perfect place to have Moz. Another thing is it wasn't a big festival like Pinkpop where you can watch Franz Ferdinand before Moz and Red Hot Chili Peppers after. Everyone came there only for Moz.

First of all, Americans and Brits can just shut the hell up about genocide and human rights and animal rights.
Second of all, you dont know shit about what happened in Turkey with Armenians or Kurds. Your media only let you hear one side of the story.
This is a Morrissey forum, let's talk about Morrissey. The show in Istanbul was great. The crowd was amazing. Moz seemed to be in a really good mood. Everybody was singing the songs, including newer ones from the latest album. Why keep talking about all this negavite crap instead of focusing on what an amazing night it was. Surely those issues need to be talked about but not here!
So Germans accept what happened under the Nazi rule, does that make them a better bunch of people than Turks? Does it change anything? Does it stop any more wars from happening? People are being killed in Iraq as I am writing this. If we really wanted to change the horrible state the world is in today, we would be doing more than just writing here, more than just stereotyping each other. If that's all you can do, I for one don't want to hear a word of it.
