What's a troll?

[hong]

The most successful ( in terms of accomplishing their attention getting objective ) type of troll post I have seen is the guys to who sign up with an alt ID and pretend they are female. I hate to admit I find it somewhat funny when they pull in dozens upon dozens of posters. WAY more reaction than a comparable newbie post by an obviously male or sexually ambiguous identity.

Edit: I may or may not be thinking of any of the threads you are thinking of. Don't jump to conclusions - I haven't seen a REALLY good one of this nature for some time now.

I am not female.

Also, I keep getting Pielorinho, Shilsen and Zappo mixed up in my head. I am not sure why.

That's because we're all multiple personalities of Piratecat's. Also, since you are more than 8 CRs below me, I ignore you because I can't gain XP from you.

Those are all loverly definitions, and junk, but I think that the present-day definition of "troll", given the frequency that the word it tossed about on the Intarweb, should be "Person who posted someting that I (the Generic I, i.e, The Perceiver) don't like".

Somebody who posts a poll with multiple comedy options and then immediately demands that anyone who didn't choose the 'correct' answer justify themselves... well, that's pretty close.
