always imagined the origin of trolling to come from Troll (the creature) and never once imagined that it could come from the fishing term...weird.

It can be fun once in a while but even in the hands of a true master (cf. Julie Burchill, above) it gets tedious after a couple of rounds.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

It's called 'winding someone up' in the UK, and is considered both an artform and a form of entertainment. A sense of irony and an appriciation of sarcasm are essential which obviously excludes certain nationalities from participating.:-p

Some people think I'm a troll. It's not true, I'm not trying to inflame people's emotions as stimulate their brain cells.
There's a difference. To me at least.
The UK pastime of "winding someone up" is more a form of our rather peculiar humour than an attempt to seriously hurt someone's feelings. It generally leads to a counterattack of the same nature.
It can occasionally lead to physical beatings... but hey, that's all part of the game.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

heh, interesting. It might actually be fun to see a Troll thread where everyone tries to troll everyone else, and the best Troll wins..."I bet Ikarus eats his own spunk..."
