What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll?

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

A classic troll is trying to make us believe that he is a genuine skeptic with no hidden agenda. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. Troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them.

While sometimes, he may sound like a stupid, uninformed, ignorant poster, do not be deceived! Most trolls are highly intelligent people trying to hide behind a mask of stupidity and/or ignorance! They usually have an agenda!!!! :action-smiley-055:

It's an art form for sure at times... It can be funny on some of the big name forums "elite" bb'ing.com etc... Funny to see inexperienced board members fall into the traps trolls set

And here I thought trolls were those guys that come to the gym but never leave the locker room. Ah nothing better than being able to walk around naked for hours and blow "pube leavins"into the atmoshere with a blow dryer.
almost the same thing I guess. One is a virtual idiot and the other is a "real time" idiot.T

This has to be one of the most mis-informed posts I have ever read. Do you not own a dictionary, particularly the dictionary of web 2.0 vernacular as edited by Gates and Jobs? If you do, you must not be able to read. Let me guess -- you use Dragon to speak your posts(?)

Oh yeah, I searched your other posts -- aren't you the porn man? I can see what happened on this "troll" post -- you were thinking with your other head -- which is obviously pretty small.

Name the time and place.... I will be there, unless something comes up.

I dont know but this was informative to me and was simple to understand even to me a computer idiot so people just joked around all in fun after. Contribute negativity somewhere else and loosen up.

Im sorry, but I dont think you read his other posts. Norbit contributes a lot more than porn to this great forum. Although I love the porn too. Why dont you tell us what a troll is, smart ass.

LOL

So now I have to wonder if the above "haters" are playing along and I should continue in troll mode, or did they really did not see that my reply was an unadulterated joke.

Dictionary of web 2.0 vernacular???? Edited by Gates and Jobs -- fierce competitors and one now deceased????

And turbo, thank you for understanding me, lol
