Meet two trolls just above.
Trolls can be identified by their disengagement from a conversation or argument. They do not believe what they say, but merely say it for effect.
Trolls are motivated by a desire for attention by people and can't or won't acquire it in a productive manner. (wiki?TrollDefinition) (thx gb)
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[3] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[4]. (wikipedia)
The point is that they are lying dickheads. Like people who have nothing to say except to pretend that they misread a user name. Or people who honestly misread a user name and have nothing else to offer.
Insert smiley for other dickheads.

Originally posted by apathistIs there any accusation which is only used fairly?
I didn't think that deep.
There are different views, and I think they should be explored. Yeah I have kids.
Trolling represents a particular attitude, but I don't think the accusation is always tossed about fairly.
Of course even trolls will complain about trolling...but I hear somebody comming to my bridge....
