What is a troll?

General


A troll is someone who follows others around and repeats the same thing over and over.

Hijacks threads by insulting a poster they have been chasing and makes comments that have nothing to do with the subject of discussion.

DEMANDS a poster answer questions over and over with the imputation of cowardice or hypocrisy if they don't respond, much like a small child "double-dog daring" someone.

Puts quotation marks around outrageous statements and implies it's what someone else has said.

Cuts and pastes comments from two years ago and brings them up like it's some big newsflash. Adds more quotation marks to their accusations to make it look like it's a direct quote again.

Starts a flamewar with nasty comments and then whines to the mods to get the thread removed when he can't handle the facts thrown back at him. Then says "someone else" notified the mods (after deleting his post where he said he was the one who did it)

Claims his race is taking over and white people will be a thing of the past soon but calls others racist. Talks about how awful the white race is and how lame gringos are but calls others racist. Starts flamewars about race and calls other people racist. Is a racist himself but calls other people racist.

Have I missed anything?

Oh yeah, one more:
If a person doesn't even play chess, but becomes a member on a chess site so he can break the rules on the forums without getting banned, then he's most likely a troll.

You are partly right!

But sounded like you might be on a mission and pointing fingers.

Well, yes, of course. That was the point. So what?

And I'm not partly right I'm 100% dead-on right.

Are you without sin?

I can answer for you (no)

Kettle, pot, black!

EDIT For your Addition to post: We are never 100% correct, and are usually as guilty ourselves. Just have a look at your own posts. Neither of us are without sin.

Apart from the last thing about race...

It sounds like you don't have a troll there, what you have is a wife.
