      This thread is a PERFECT example of what exactly a troll is... by definition... by debate... and truly without a shadow of a doubt, by EXAMPLE...

          A troll is anyone who has opinions I don't like and insists bringing them up all the time. That's a troll, and we need to shoot them in the face. Since I called this up, it means I get the first grabs when categorizing people as trolls, including veto powers.

                My subjective definition: A troll is a provocative action the actor knows to be provocative and the actor doesn't believe in, or need to do.

                Default trolling is Internet trolling, since the term was born in the Internet. One can talk use the world "real life troll", too, when it is an accurate description. The movie character Borat is a good example of a real life troll.

                This is a good example of a troll post in the Internet. The explanation is offensive, threatening, provocative and clearly over-the-top. Those of us who know Pekka's posting style know it to be a troll.

                Pekka has funny trolls, but they're not good in terms of ratings since they're not posted in fertile grounds, id est in threads where there already are overtly serious and debate-stressed posters.

                  AH gave me my nic, I was DrDanger when I originally started way back when, so I took as a compliment and a nic, then went from Troll to Grandpa Troll when I had my first Grandson
