[QUOTE="menotyou, post: 836767, member: 24535"] In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted". While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, mass media uses troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[4][5] Contents [hide] 1 Etymology 1.1 Early history 1.2 In other languages 2 Trolling, identity, and anonymity 3 Concern troll 4 Troll sites 5 Media coverage and controversy 6 Usage 7 Examples of trolling 8 See also 9 References 10 External links [/QUOTE]
