Topic: Troll


  
 Troll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditionally, trolls are mortal enemies of the dwarfs.
Their role ranges from fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of English fairy tales – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills or mounds, inclined to thieving and the abduction of humans which, in the case of infant abductees, was substituted with a changeling.
In some early 20th century fairy tales, by Elsa Beskow, trolls are also depicted as an aboriginal race of hunters and gatherers who are fleeing the encroaching human civilisation.

 Internet troll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trolling can be described as a breaching experiment, originally conceived of by sociologist Harold Garfinkel, which, because of the use of an alternate persona, allows for normal social boundaries and rules of etiquette to be tested or otherwise broken, without serious consequences.
The word likely gained currency because of its apt second meaning, drawn from the "trolls", which are portrayed in Scandinavian folklore, and children's tales, as often ugly, obnoxious creatures that are bent on wickedness and mischief.
It is possible to distinguish between comments that are flamebait and as a result of trolling: flames have the intent of being anti-social and offensive, while trolling comments are intended to provoke a reaction, though trolling comments may also be perceived as being anti-social, although that may not have been the intent of the author.

 Internet Trolls
Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise).
So the troll can set up his own message board, where he can make his own decisions about the kind of content he will tolerate.
There really is no reason to give him what he wants, since a "That Wasn't Me" warning merely reminds people to be skeptical.

Trolls can be identified by their disengagement from a conversation or argument.
I generally consider a troll as somebody perceived to be trying to start an argument about their favorite topic perhaps because they like that topic, not necessarily to call people outright names.
