""In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users ""

Well some are mildly amusing, some are downright rude but others feed on other peoples sadness and have caused a lot of upset by getting posters to relive their painful experiences.

sensiblesusannigella · 10/11/2010 22:08

ah so some of them are actually mean but some are just having a laugh

Is this your first thread? I thought you said something different earlier? Do you live under a bridge??
Troll hunting is sport - no?

Creepy poetry Confused

its a song. One of my challenges is to get a flouncer to stay and I thought I'd do it through the medium of E17. Don't think its going to be successful as the flouncers have already gone.

WookieetheChew · 10/11/2010 22:48

E17? Okie dokie.

So if it worked, and the flouncer stayed, would you be quite pleased with.. oneself?

PinkieMinx · 10/11/2010 22:48

I was taking the piss and refuse to flounce Grin

My husband is a troll. He goes onto Yahoo as MIRANDA and winds people up endlessly. Yes.. I do wonder about hims sometimes Biscuit

From wiki:

E17 or E-17 may be:

  • European route E17
  • E-17, British pop group, originally (and more famously) known as East 17
  • Enlightenment (X window manager) release 17
  • E17, a postcode district in the E postcode area
  • Ever17, a Japanese visual novel
  • A type of Edison screw with a diameter of 17 mm
  • HMS E17, a British submarine of World War I

I think an Edison screw looks interesting.

They might be more effective in getting flouncers to stay as well, huggly.
