Anyone can answer this. What is a troll?

"Do not feed the trolls" and its abbreviation DNFTT redirect here. For the Wikimedia essay, see "What is a troll?".
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

Thanks Skip!!
 
I love this song by R.E.M.

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine


Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing


Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There’s no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine


Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
 

Thanks for the clarification. I stopped going to the community board for that exact reason. I'll admit that I don't read as many threads as most here, so I didn't know that there was that much negativity. Anyone can answer this. What is a troll?

I agree with you....I stopped going to the rumors and news forums because they were filled with mainly downright nasty and negative threads. The attacking of posters there was unbelievable! I lurk alot here but other than maybe 1-2 posters I don't find that much negativity. But I guess negativity is a personal taste.

There *isn't* much negativity in this forum. It's been remarked upon that each DIS forum has its own "feel," and that the podcast forum by and large is a happy, supportive place. Message boards are widely available where flaming and troll-ism (?) are the norm. Many of us who frequent this particular forum feel protective of its positive nature and hope to preserve that. :goodvibes

To quote the great philosopher, Bernard P Fife, Nip It In The Bud!!! popcorn::

Perfectly stated.:thumbsup2
 
I can just hear the character "Kevin" from HOME ALONE saying:

"I made the "TROLLS" disappear!!!!!!!":eek:

Great feature...:cool1:
 
same thing. seem all fuzzy and cuddly then they bust the place up and stand off to the side giggling about all the chaos they caused.

Exactly....and god forbid you let them near a olympic size swimming pool, say one that you may find in your high school....you might as well write off your entire neighborhood!!!
