Dumb ? For Steve

Google is your friend... For a more definitive definition go to www.google.com and type "internet troll" and look at the answers.

But for now, a troll is someone who does not add anything of value to forum/chat/blog discussions and is there for the sole purpose of disrupting the discussion/community by insulting, flaming, or posting shocking or outrageous things. This invitation for a negative response is baiting, or "trolling" to use the term in question.
 
Trolls

Didn't the big Billy Goat Gruff knock the troll into the creek?😀 Good way to get rid of them.
 
Thanks Jim & Steve. Was interested in Steve's use of the term with respect to this forum. Have seen some of this (trolling) elsewhere recently and now understand that I was not using the correct terminology for it.
