A vicious creature...

They tend to live under bridges, waiting for unsuspecting internet folk to wander by so that they can eat them.

But in all seriousness, they're just jerks who post outrageous things that they really don't believe in, all for the sake of getting a rise out of folks like you and me.

not entirely.

Silly name-calling

Don't know where it came from, but I don't like it. We are all on the same team here - no need for bickering amongst ourselves.

We can have differences of opinion and air them in this forum, but name-calling really doesn't accomplish anything. In fact, it says more about those who do it than the recipient.

A troll is also an evil gnome that lives under wooden German bridges in fairy tales. One is currently president of the U.S.

Usually they have the opposite opinion and are supporting a different candidate. They come here to tell lies and stir up trouble.

On the daily paul i've observed a troll to be:

Submitted by krazypolitico on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 09:23.

1) someone that doesn't believe in every part of the gospel of Paul.

2) someone that doesn't think that Paul walks on water.

3) someone that asks the wrong question.

4) someone that posts an opinion that doesn't jive with the mannystrom dude, or on of the long time posters to this site.

5) a new Paul supporter asking for information on a basic Paul policy.

those are what i've observed to be marked as trolls on this site. Hope that helps.

Amen

The worst people on this board are those who accuse others of being trolls. I cannot take it anymore.
