Deliberately posting false information in order to elicit responses from people who really want to help.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Trolling is a form of art that is often a great way of getting a sly little dig in without making it too obvious.

For example if Pighead started a thread entitled "2-ShortDa5foot5 is a small fat smelly sub human" he'd probably get banned and rightly so.

But if he started a thread entitled "Studies suggest 5ft 5 message board users are rounder and more noxious than taller users" he could sit back smile and watch as the other users done his dirty work for him.

Before you could say banstick there'd be carnage in the thread with the messers slagging the fattties and the fatties crying their stubby little eyes out demanding action from the mods.

It can be as little as mentioning your hobbie or as extreme as an all out attack on madeline mcCann ( although a Fritzl joke would prob be more topical now)

Some would say your username alluded to a longing in your psyche to make some sweet down and dirty manlove with the devil beast himself. Not Pighead though.

was it as good for you the second time

Now now, you're not supposed to say things like that about people here, it's not very nice.

If you want to get mean with people head over to the Thunderdome, where I'm sure FlutterinBantam will be more than happy to play with you
