Question

[amythest_n_ice]

I have to ask, what may be the dumbest question in the history of dumb questions; what EXACTLY is trolling? My only notion of Trolls is the ugly little dude that lived under a bridge and was thwarted in his attempts to eat the three billy goats gruff.

I believe it comes from fishing (trolling a line) but then the image of the troll was too cool to let go.

Who am I kidding? Wikipedia will explain better than me.

Trolls make me sad.

Trolls are very sad, that they have nothing better to do with their time :(. I was only curious because I joined a couple of comms recently that were both on moderated posting, because a Troll had been stirring up fights between them, despite the two comms shipping exactly the same relationship, between exactly the same characters.
