Er, we aren't too sure that Mr White is a Troll. Not at the moment. He may just be a bit prickly

Ha ha Lucy not saying mister White is a troll just wondering what the term troll meant.
Just use your thread as a reference that's all.

Any member who joins and posts prolifically on the same day and knows everything thats going on is, in my book, a troll. We would never see that kind of behaviour here though.

We all see, to have different notions of what exactly is a troll. For example, Samlad, prior to DB's expulsion, called him a troll. Monkey gives his own definition here. According to Wikipedia:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."

Now, I really think we should not simply refer to people as trolls because they may have had another identity at some stage. And if that was the case then EI allows trolls for comedic purposes.

So I am bit sure where that leaves us.
