Does this sound like anyone we know on this forum? What a bizarre attitude. How on earth does it give this person satisfaction? Being in Sydney for just one month hardly qualifies him/her to give an objective opinion anyway.

Sorry to sound dim - but is a troll someone who registers as more than one user name and 'pretends' to be different people??

I am baffled as to what state of mind a person would have to be in to a) be bothered and B) keeping up the pretence would be no mean feat and would probably require the attributes of a shitzo.

Do these people have a life? It's quite sad and on a charitable note I do feel slightly sorry for them as they must be very unhappy people.

As I understand it a troll is indeed someone who is suffering from a multi-personality disorder and has more than one ID. Of course, when he/she said 'I troll through message boards', this could be a typo and the poster meant to say 'trawl'. Either way, this is one sad individual.

troll

An electronic mail message, Usenet posting or other
(electronic) communication which is intentionally incorrect,
but not overtly controversial (compare flame bait), or the
act of sending such a message. Trolling aims to elicit an
emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply
key. A really subtle troll makes some people lose their
minds.


troll

v.,n. 1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To
utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable
responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase
"trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream
"trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a
likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post
that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look
even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to
the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate
troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See
also YHBT. 2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1;
regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a
newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to
annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by
the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic
at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly
creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming
characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of
life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." 3.
[Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS
students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab
policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves
lurking in dark cavelike corners.

Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower
category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing
some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See
also Troll-O-Meter.
