    a troll is someone that asks a question in a thread, or makes a comment in a thread, usually NOT in good faith, to incite a reaction from other members, usually a negative reaction. The question/commment is typically contraversial in nature and is intended to cause problems and/or make trouble. Trolls typically have a very low post count, and quite often banned / suspended members may create a new user id for the sole intent of trolling. However, Admin can usually identify when this occurs, and will bring out the "Ban Hammer" and knock a few heads.

    Make sense?

    Hmmm I'm thinking this could pass for about 80% of your started post and maybe even higher of mine. LOL
