Internet Trolls Really Are Horrible People
Marlin:
Interesting enough is that the Flame Warriors site does not list a Troll but does list a Troller that nicely fits SloGlo's description.
Troller
Troller is looking for a response…ANY response, and he will chum the waters with complaints, insults, compliments, and inflammatory tidbits hoping that someone…ANYONE, will take the bait. Generally quite harmless – practices a form of catch and release. Nonetheless, he can upset the delicate ecology of a discussion forum. Once a forum becomes aware of his presence, however, all feeding activity ceases and Troller must move on to more promising waters.

per haps, but unless sayed troller is with inn visual and/oar auditory range he kant enjoy any emotional torment unless it is written in a reply. he wood bee moor amused by the frantic give and take of ensuing posting, a laa the response a hooked fish fives the angler. imnsho.
