buzi 0 #1 January 3, 2006 I made a post a couple of days ago and some one was saying that there was a chance that the poster (me) was a troll. What is a troll ? Other than the dude living under the bridge (I know it was a tempting answer for many). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 January 3, 2006 Swing and a miss on forum choice, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&oi=defmore&defl=en&q=define:Internet+troll QuoteIn the context of the Internet, a troll is a person who makes inflammatory or comments, which by effect or design cause disruptions in discourse, or a post made by such a person. Trolling can be described as a breaching experiment, which, because of the use of an alternate persona, allows for normal social boundaries and rules of etiquette to be tested or otherwise broken, without serious consequences. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #4 January 3, 2006 Short answer: A Troll is someone posting with the only intent to get folks worked up. Wrong info, staggering idiotic questions, etc.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
