What is a TROLL?

And I dont mean the kind of ogres that live in forests....
I have heard it referred to here a lot over recent months... but never really understood what or who is one!!!

THANKS

From the novice department!!!

It's a term used to describe someone who trawls forums making posts aimed at upsetting other posters.

A troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, video hosting site, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

A bit like B00 ;-p

and yes that all makes sense now! I have seen many TROLLS in these parts?
Do there creatures just come out at night once they have hit the bottle... and had a row with the missus... or are they in disguise?
