I’m confused by all this talk about trolls. Can someone succinctly define the term ‘troll’? If you think I’m a troll, please let me know why.

"In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain."--Wikipedia

Thanks, Jack. By that definition everyone on this board is a troll. So everybody needs to shut up about trolls, use the ignore button, and keep on keeping on. And yes, Flagooner, I’m an asshole.

This is rather unique in my lifetime. Someone seems to be quite proud to proclaim themselves an asshole!
