I've been called out a few times for trolling/attacking members when I wasn't.

The difference is going to be between guys who played sports/spent time in locker rooms v. guys who didn't. Or guys who worked in all male environments.

Guys who played sports or worked in all-male environments and are used to shit talking (knowing it's all fun and bullshit and not to be taken seriously) aren't going to see something as trolling where guys who didn't really spend much time in that atmosphere are going to view the same conduct as trolling or a personal attack.

You can shit talk a guy all day and it's just all laughs. You just don't go "personal," such as talking about a guy's wife or kids or something. But if a guy does something stupid, that becomes his nickname for life.

The European guys are also much more sensitive to the American guys and more prone to view something as an attack.
