Trolls are people who start threads to ask questions that they could easily find the answer for themsleves.

And have fluffy hair, in varying shades.

Some times have pencils stuck up their bums.

I thought it was a fishing metaphor: Trolling is the name for dragging your net across the bottom, not caring what falls in ...

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

I love trolling, especially when you annoy people just enough to irritate them but not enough to get banned. Been a while since I received a yellow or red card on Boards
