    An idiot derails a train of thought on a thread and, I presume, thinks he is contributing some entertaining "banter" - in his mind! :pac:

    Not as much as the word "troll".

    As words go, they're bedfellows, IMO. They deserve each other.

    Banter is a 2 way thing, when 2 or more people are on the same level, having fun, slagging each other.

    It has been totally misused in recent years. People saying "he has great Banter" etc, or when somebody is being outright abusive saying it's just Banter.
