See it frequently: What exactly is a "troll"?


I've seen forum posters here and in other audio forums accused of being "trolls" by other members. In fact, I was once accused of being a "troll". I know that it has something to do with being disingenuous and having a hidden agenda. What exactly is it?

Like trolling for fish.
You put out the bait: your inflammatory/obnoxious post..
And wait to see how many folks answer.
All those folks are "caught" with your "bait".
Just like me answering this post, IF you are trolling,
IF YOU do not really KNOW what trolling is, then this post was not trolling, and my answer is a legitimate response, and not just 'troll food"
Seems some folks enjoy trolling, and some enjoy being trolled..
Takes all sorts.
