Define Unity and Trolling.
I see these words being thrown around by certain people to justify their point. However, these words, especially trolling, are just labels without any content behind them when I see these people use them. Allow me to use my definition of these words.
Unity: Mindless following of a particular person or group; usually so the person can benefit from being a dog of this person or group.
Trolling: Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness. However, trolling statements are never true or are ever meant to be construed as such. Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value.
"Trolling" isn't simply "harmful statements". Intentionally insulting/libelous statements are "flaming".
Note: Some of you really need to stop throwing the word trolling around like if you know what it means. Really. You are one of the worst people because of it.
Please post your definitions of these words.

Well, M.Lev, I won't disagree with your definition of trolling. I'm sure you are much more familiar with it than I am. However, I will give a different spin to unity. To me, unity means that we are all agreed on a particular objective, meaning in this case, the growth and well-being of eBelgium as a whole. We could disagree about the means of getting there, but if we are all working toward that same goal, we should be able to disagree without being hurtful or disrespectful and without constantly trying to tear one another down. I would like to think that is possible. What do you think?

Unity: Having a large portion of eBelgium once again back working on the same goals and not against eachother. I throw the word around more than anyone, and it is on purpose really... I think eBelgians need a sort of... slogan almost, to help them just focus on ending this mess.
Trolling: Any sort of material that is meant to purposely get someone frustrated beyond a reasonable point... There's a lot of gray area in "trolling" and I think that it should work like this.
Not Serious Topics - Trollololol for days~ I do not care.
Serious Topic - Tone it down to a minimum so we can get crap done without have someone come in and start on someone to get them riled up.

Re: Define Unity and Trolling.
I don't get your examples of what you think trolling is. In my opinion, there is no other but my own. Would you please put up an example so I can wrap my head around it. There is a difference between trolling and being silly. Quite a bit of you can't seem to discern between them.

Shadow doesn't really troll as much as you all think. Rarely even.
