Friends don't let friends drink and post!

Or do - it was pretty entertaining and they were REALLY UPTIGHT.

I only got one pm from an admin once stating my sense of humor/behavior. was over the edge and I was put "on notice".

I found the forum while researching the rules of plastic handicap signs that hang in vehicles for parking purposes for Granny.

On the forum I mistyped "handicrappers" instead of handicappers..
With burning cheeks, I deleted my account and never looked back.

Sooo what's the exact definition cuz my virgo mercury is killin me right now lol

Trolls used to mean online brats (whatever their age) who tried getting under your skin. The difference between them and a flame warrior, someone with issues or otherwise having a tantrum is they did it as a power trip and/or because they find it funny. IOW, they're not as upset, angry, ignorant or bigoted or sexist as they pretend to be, it's an act (called “baiting” as in showing you a nice worm and hoping for nibbles) to get you to engage them and if they can make you have a melt down then it's like worth 50 points to them. There's even a website where trolls brag to each other and share tips on how to upset a community ("for the LULZ").

I personally like words to mean one thing and not another to make communication as clear as possible. Instead of expanding the word "troll" they should instead invent new words if needed. But most people have Humpty Dumpty's philosophy on definitions:

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "

"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master, that's all."

In that case you should LOVE this trolling:
