Well I am a Troll........ according to people who live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (since I live "under" the bridge).

A troll is someone who enters a web board with the express purpose of causing trouble between those on the board. They are also someone who comes in spamming people, or just sending people nasty comments.

They do nothing BUT that.

Basically, it is someone who is "trolling" for trouble.

Nice link. This part particularly rings a bell around here lately:

Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash.
