"troll what is that ?? ok i am a bit thick so you have to tell me here , In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response." kisses and thankyou xxxxxxxx | |||

"Do remember a troll is not some who doesn't agree with you. Their postings tend to be pointless, or criticising your view without offering their view, pointing out spelling/grammar/typos, going over what has already be said. A troll is not someone who try's to post witty reply or comments, they are just lonely. " | |||

A troll is not someone who try's to post witty reply or comments, they are just lonely. " Nope. That is not a troll in my understanding. A troll is someone who finds a thread in a community forum. Let's say for a deceased person. Then amongst the condolences they say something vile about the person. Another example can be a charity site for sick children and amongst the well wishing threads they write a contribution saying that these ill children are a waste of space and sap society etc.... The usage you give is another example of people using a word to describe a far simpler less benign behaviour. Saying someone whose humour you don't agree with is a troll is like saying a comedian you don't like is really an anarchist trying to get the nation to kill each other. Trolls intend harm. They KNOW what they are doing. | |||

They can be very socially active, fully employed, with a partner , children etc.... Portraying them as 'sad lonely' people is giving a reason for their behaviour. It's akin to the 'man in the brown mac is a perv' syndrome. It can be ANYONE. Generally I find it's the finger pointers who are most guilty. | |||

"Do they bring a new slant to a post/thread or are they just pathetic wankers? " like granny said... this kind of thread could be considered to be "troll-like" in itself.... I like to call these "firebomb threads" where you can see that they could be perceived as trying to incite something... it reamins to be seen whether the original poster meant it as an actual question..... or meant is as a "driveby, lob a post in" post to see what carnage they can achieve.... all i know is that the Opening poster hasn't replied.... so at "this" point I know what I believe.... I just hope it turns out to be incorrect | |||

Brief reading originated in Norse Mythology and ended with a list of the Top Ten Internet Trolls ..... some of em quite clever and inventively anarchic in their deviousness. Just goes to show we can't lable them all with the same Fairy Name. | |||

There seems to be a small pocket of people who 'troll' reguarly and who do get up peoples noses, which is obviously their intent. I do find some of the 'left field' thinking interesting as it does put a new slant. But 90% of the time it just seems tedious. | |||

"I never saw that but i can think of times when I've seen people put a similar response. So what ? Is not being a troll. Far from it. It's simply showing an indifference. Before anyone says they shouldn't post - of COURSE they should. I find it's the people who get indignant and choose to be offended whose behaviour is more questionable. " I disagree Granny. If a group of people discuss a subject on a thread that they all clearly ENJOY discussing then why should someone else have the right, under freedom of speech, to enter that discussion when they clearly have no interest in the subject being discussed or contributing positively to the thread, and choose to post someothing derogatory, nasty or just plain pointless 'just to give themselves a voice'. It's like someone running into a group meeting of Slimmer's World, yelling, "Fat cunts!" and running out again. | |||

You have actually fabricated someone being 'nasty , derogatory and pointless' just to suit your arguement. Nothing like that was said in my post. | |||

"theres a big difference between a troll and a difference of opinion " Trolls dont care about the opinion they are giving, they just want to cause a row and get off on that...for example i am on a small left wing forum, people are entitled to debate but when someone joined and called themselves "Hooray for the blackshirts" and posted on every thread how Mosely had the right idea they were not looking to join in a debate. | |||
