I see so many people on here calling people a troll.

What is the TROLL to you?

Is it someone that just does not agree with you???

    This is a modern definition of a troll or someone who "trolls" on the internet:

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll.
    (For those that don't want to click link:
    "One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or
    message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.")

    While I usually wouldn't use Urban Dictionary as a reliable source, this definition is actually pretty accurate.

    A troll to me is a person who "trolls" through the forums looking for a place to cause dissention and then sits back and laughs us bickering back and forth. They deliberately try to provoke others with their comments.

    a troll is simply someone who purposely tries to start arguments or insult others for their own amusement

    I think the term troll is bandied about way too much. To me it's someone who joins for the sole purpose of derailing the workings of a site with the intention of abusing individuals, or to discredit the site.

    When regular members post for others' amusement some will call them trolls - but only because they have failed to detect the joke...

    Ok, so here's my take on trolls, while the video is aimed at gamer trolls I think the message sums them up pretty well. Please do not open this at work some language and a visual that would not be appropriate. Enjoy :)
