Whats a Troll?

[amibovvered]

And I don't want to hear about the story of the one that lived under the bridge.....

I mean when used on MN....

Someone who comes online with the express purpose of causing an argument, or posts something controversial. They are ususally identifiable by the fact that the controversial post is their very first.
Not to be confused with 'namechangers' who are mischievous regulars who sometimes change names to start a fight, but are spotted immediately and own up.

Thanks for clarifying that - feel slightly more clued up now.

Now back to lurking

They are also often posters who lie about who they are, etc.

Why bother?
