Patent trolling is only when you don't put your idea/patent into practice. Winksite went live in 2003 when FB was still in a dorm room using university servers...

Furthermore, Edison did not ever sell a single light bolb. He didn't have to. He owned the patent.
Troll is Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum. That's what you are doing..... A patent on the other hand is a grant made by a government that confers upon the creator of an invention the sole right to make, use, and sell that invention for a set period of time...You never studied in school did you?
You are being silly... Do you own the Microsoft Windows program that you are using to post on? No... Microsoft owns it because of patents. Doesn't matter that it's on your computer. You do not own it.
Do you know what a patent is? Google and FB own many similar ones and they will sue anyone in violation of their patents..
This is another example of large corporations think they can violate anyone's Intelectual property and get away with it..
What make America GREAT is that you get to own your ideas!
