To me a troll is someone that just joins a forum and posts about things that they think will upset people and cause fights and arguments.

A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorph race from Scandinavian folklore. Their role ranges from fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of English fairy tales – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills or mounds, inclined to thieving and the abduction of humans which, in the case of infant abductees, was substituted with a changeling. They could also be known as hill-folk or mound-folk. In Shetland and Orkney tales, trolls are called trowe

my profile is not complete, guess I should get on that. and dont recall if I posted an intro or not? to me a troll is someone who either does not know what they are talking about but is convinced they do, and posts in controversial threads/topics or posts in way that should be obvious to them will cause a fight. or someone who DOES know a lot of info but presents it in a way that only someone of equal knowledge will understand, and/or in a way that is very rude and may/will prevent new members from posting (afraid of being attacked or made a fool of) and prevents guests from becoming a member (same fear plus such posts might give the appearance that everyone on this thread is equally rude/inconsiderate/snobby). basically someone who tries to cause arguments for any reason.
of course there are numerous topics that will/might cause members to argue, thats not what I mean. if someone were to post a thread saying "why do so many idiots get mankilling, viscious, blood thirsty (place a breed here)? they know the dogs are not good pets." that would make me think TROLL. or if someone had a valid question about their dog and another member attacked them for not knowing the answer (and fails to answer the question) that would also make me think TROLL.
now to go fill in my profile (a little late to intro myself) so no one thinks Im a troll :)

yeah, I know. that was a joke but I DID just finish my profile. meant to do that the day I signed up but then forgot and never thought of it untill just now. a troll is someone who intentionally stirs the pot/tries to start arguments just for the sake of starting an argument.
