U wot m8? Does popular consensus now directly influence reality and truth?
I've seen moderators claim people are trolling based SOLELY on the fact that they dislike, or disagree with something someone has said.

It is if it's effectively slanderous.
Well, he wasn't sacked...he simp,y isn't having his contract renewed. But in any case, you could have just said that in the first place...but hey, why do that when you can Trip tripity trip about try to chew on billy goats...
So the mods are able to commit slander? Where is that in legislation?
So I have to like all of the content of a media product ?
I can't like bits?
I like Cheese...But I'm not keen on cheese with nuts in it....Cut out the nuts and the cheese is milky smooth on my tongue
Come again!?
I agree. I also think Top Gear has become a bit of a joke, more of a sketch show than anything actually to do with motoring. That format obviously worked for them, as it is hugely popular, but I can't say it really ever did anything for me beyond the first few times,our of novelty more than anything else. I'm looking forward to seeing what changes are made in the future.
Inb4 I get called a troll.
It's what trolls do in their spare time away from the internet.

For all intents and purposes, he's been sacked. If it wasn't for the fact his contract is up next month anyway it would have almost certainly been terminated.
Furthermore, in the entertainment industry 'being sacked' is acceptable parlance for not getting another contract.

No, it is their responsibility to deal with others doing it. Like by accusing everyone who disagrees with you as being a 'troll'.
Give it a rest.
I've disagreed with Castiel, as have others and not been called a troll for it...
Except he wasn't sacked. He didn't have his contract terminated, it will run its course...as will the other longer term contracts for the live shows which do not expire until Nov.
The decision was made to not renew a contract, that isn't getting the sack and again, it's not parlance for anything other than, "no contract renewal".
If he quits trolling..I'll quit calling him out on it.
That's because you and others are not intentionally trying to wind everyone up...easy rider is.
That's not what you said though...oh wait, it's you. What you say isn't what you actually mean is it...ever.
If you think someone is trolling, RTM your heart out! It is not your job, you need not be concerned with identifying and pointing out trolls to the forum members in general. What you need to concern yourself with at this moment is what I'm saying to you - stop stirring stuff up, now.

I'm pretty sure they will be able to make use of my C&G 2330 in the new buildings and I'm not sure how you can say building new Orphanages, Schools, hospitals, youth clubs ..etc ..etc won't make a ''slightest dent''
I was born in Nigeria and spent many years in Nigeria and watched my Mum & Dad try to help out the local communities but it all backfires in the end.
About a month after my daughter came back from Ghana she was crying her eyes out because the two orphanages she had gone to help had both been shut down and the children had basically scattered.
One of my mates has recently gained a love for Ghambia and goes and helps the community. About two weeks ago he came back and said 'They've destroyed everything'.
So yes, I am a bit cynical but it will tick one of your boxes.
