see your last post for what a troll is. there are a number on the site. most folks ignore them as they are out to start fights and generally spread abuse.

TROLL
![](http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/assets/Troller.jpg)
Troller is looking for a response...ANY response, and he will chum the waters with complaints, insults, compliments, and inflammatory tidbits hoping that someone...ANYONE, will take the bait. Generally quite harmless - practices a form of catch and release. Nonetheless, he can upset the delicate ecology of a discussion forum. Once a forum becomes aware of his presence, however, all feeding activity ceases and Troller must move on to more promising waters.
