mmmm apparently now you don't even have to post anything in the body of your message to kick off the discussion just a random smiley face - interesting concept I wonder if it will catch on

Exaggereted - yes. Distorted - are you going to give an example? It's your like of DB2 as a RDBMS isn't it? Is it all a lie?

Re: What is the definition of an internet troll?
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion (courtesy of WIKI obviously)
Am I alone in thinking that there may be some kind of dark force acting in stealth mode, one who doesn't quite fit into the criteria above but whom no less provokes the response

Controversial-Depends on ones point of view
Inflammatory-as above
Irrelevant-To what?
Off-Topic-only 1 allowed?

I don't say things just to annoy people. I just disagree with things that people say - sometimes. If what I say annoys people, then its too bad. I am not going to say things I don't believe. I thought a troll said things that they did not believe - just to stir things up.

[QUOTE=triumphguy;7413904]Your right Purley: a troll isn't someone you merely disagree with, and who keeps posting their "wrong" opinions on the net, it's someone who deliberately incites others, and who just riles up the members.
Yes, I have seen a few of these on here, not something I normally resort to but others seem to get away with it so..............

Thank-you, I have a feeling I may need it
At least I know I am not on your list
