A troll is basically someone who is making a post that is purposefully inflammatory. It is usually a post that is created for the sole purpose of upsetting people/starting thread wars/fights.

Hope that helps!

They arent calling you a troll.

A troll is someone who (for fun) posts something ridiculous and stupid. They then sit back and wait for others to respond, thinking that they're serious.
