I was giving my opinion, stated that my intent was not to offend anyone... And it was locked. How is something found to be "Trolling", and why is it given the name of such a lame, mythical creature? I was stating my opinion - If someone who disagreed reported me, was that enough? The same kind of thing I discussed... people take this videogame forum far too seriously. They're just games people!

Actually, "trolling" derives its name from a fishing term.
