Anyone who attempts to stir up animosity by posting content that is either malicious or intentionally in poor taste, with the intent to elicit a negative reaction.
Oooh. O-K
Thank you.
Who is @TROLL?
He is legion
You're one.
Thurs night 8PM 12-Step meeting, but you don't talk about Fight Club-Anon....., and no one goes anyway.

It's hard to believe that some people get pleasure out of be-littling others an putting them in "gotcha" moments.
We get hung up on stereotypes, I don't like the over-used word "troll"; just as I've gotten tired of the word "amazing" way overused. Maybe "rogue" should be used sometimes, a link to synonyms: http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/troll
Good link, I see your point.

Instead of TROLL I like the synonym bugaboo. ( I wouldn't want to be called a bugaboo. )

@Crypto Don't go romancing the gnome, as it's been peaceful around here for a few days without him
He's back!
My definition of a "Troll" is someone who watches the boards for misinformation and then is hated for "calling-it-out" in a snarky manner like this:
That rogue troll was really just a bugaboo...amazing!
Maybe. I wouldn't go out on that limb. He's gone. Is he back? I don't know. But... you might know something that I don't. Whatever.
Sometimes, but not always. I really do think that TROLLS in general have a sense of humor. Albeit perverted. They enjoy antagonizing the more straight-laced among us. They're comedians. Clowns. The internet is their stage. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. In the great scheme of things they serve a purpose. I guess.
I think a troll are the one's that come on here saying I have this how much is it worth. When any one that can come on here to ask that can look it up just as fast and it's there 30th post. Then the fun starts if your selling something post it on the BST if you cant find it ask But when you see links, how much can I get that's a turn off. One you will never learn without doing the research it takes time but most of us here that been here for some time see it all the time and that's when you will see the Troll word get tossed around. Just put any thing you want to know in the search box and you can find it or see if any one else talked about it.

I don't intend to hijack the thread, but the overused (and misused) word that makes my blood boil when I hear it 30 times a day is "iconic."
Everything and everyone is/was iconic now.
Aren't politicians trolls?
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Are people who suggest politicians are trolls trolling politicians?
Am I trolling? Or have I been trolled.
Or d) - all of the above
Trolling, trolling, trolling.... keep those goblins trolling -

You just "made my day"
Some of them are, but certainly not all.

When someone says: “I enjoy collecting x” and someone else comes on only to reply that “x” is stupid and that anyone that collects “x” is a moron— that’s a troll.
Actually, that is like literally an amazing and iconic post, you know. It could usher in the start of a new paradigm.
Irregardless, "troll" has become the standard term. They seem to be happy with any kind of reaction. The more chain-reaction conflict, the better. Maybe they are seeking a psychotic reaction. Perhaps this will help:

Popular phrases and words are based on what part of the country you live in. Probably the west coast dynamic culture gravitates to words like "iconic"; trendy faux cultures throw around words like Starbucks caters to jaded caffeine hooked drinkers of their value added $5 mixes.
I have a real resistance to new trends and fashionable words, human nature has not changed but the high tech gadgets have created their own popular memes based on what is liked or disliked.
The video above is quite right. Trolls like to induce "psychotic reactions" from their comments and posts.
Trolls are backward people........so from now on I am going to call them "LLORTS"
...................and there are LLORTS of them around here.............
