The Classic Troll:

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument[\quote]

There are also special, more sophisticated forms of being a troll

The Master Baiter Troll:

These are trolls who like to bait regulars into replying to their posts, but they are supremely uninterested in actually participating in the community. They seek instant gratification by posting nonsensical, irrelevant, or inflammatory messages and watching the resultant hoopla that ensues.

The Attention Whore troll:

This troll posts on every thread. Every other post is theirs. When people ignore them or aren’t nice, they resort to self-pity and leave posts that say things like “Since you all hate me, I guess I’ll just leave now!” This particular troll can also be a variant of the “Thread Hijacker”.

All he can do is get his rocks off by mundane posts with the hint of sex.....the idea of sex.....the thrill of the FuckBoard!.....the fantasy of a sex worker responding to him......the crumbs......it's better than complete celibacy and loneliness?

Ok! Back to my my Montana mountains!

Pay attention to your vacation, the board will still be here when you get back

He went 'round the bend in '07 or so.  

We didn't think of him as Troll back then.

Who is equally provocative but doesn't use a stream of insults to rile people.

my.....my mountain!! Did you all notice my stuttering in my last post? I do that sometimes!
Now Im relaxing at the Lodge with some Good Ol TER entertainment!   Post people post!! Entertain me!  Morris??

HH is awesome. I may be a troal, but Sorry, I'm also an artist and I don't play requests.

It has to be....you are MUCH smarter than you are trying to come across on this board....do tell....I accept PMs!

What is the problem with my spelling? If it matters, I learned to spell in one of Montanna's top-rated Troal Schools.

I have no definitions as I do not know any of my clients financial status! Nor that of the posters or the Trolls!   It was just a wild guess.....    It's hard to wrap my head around the mind of the "trolls" .....  so it's ONLY conjecture.

I did not make these up but found them on another public board.  The Master Baiter Troll is a master of baiting the other members of the board into starting flame wars on his behalf.  He/she starts first by endearing him/herself to the usual board rats by first statring fun and harmless topics, then becomes the Pied Piper of the board.  Before they know it, others are doing his dirty work as his/her topics become increasingly provocative, yet never actually attacking anyone him/herself.  Very ingenious and usually by a person who likes to show off his superior intellect.  

Sound familiar?  Can you think of any good examples anyone?

Trooper2, was a victim of a super troll.
She liked to push buttons, and have others do her dirty work, Ya know those good ole white knights, who jumped up to defend their piece of ass. LOL But yes, you are right, went around the bend, and went away, and now, one less individual contributing creditable reviews, nor
informing the community about BSC providers.
Cheers!
