A Troll ??
I thought a troll was some ugly guy who lived under a bridge...like
me, in other words. What do you mean in this context ? A guy
who is just looking for trouble ??
This is internet jargon. A "troll" refers to a message that is posted for
the sole purpose of provoking a response. As in, "trolling for suckers."
It's a stretch, but over the last two decades, the word "troll" has come to
be used for the WRITERS of trolls, as well. :)
