Re: Are Religious People More Prone to Internet Trolling than Non-Religious People?

Trolling not only occurs on science sites, but also on religious sites. Each site has their method for presenting arguments. I used to troll on some religious sites. Their analogy of the scientific method involved using exact bible quotes to support your position. This is equal to quoting a science paper but in this case specific places in the bible. If you do, than one is allowed to present a position. If you just present ideas without the protocol support, it is treated differently and is analogous to their version of trolling. If this survey was done on those sites, science would be the trolls. The overall number depend on whether there are more science or religion sites on the internet. If one is trying to be original, so data is in the future, instead of the past, one will always be a troll. Copernicus may have been a troll in his day, simply because he didn't tell everyone what they wanted to hear in the way they wanted to hear it.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
