Well, I was hoping for an interesting discussion and in between something I am looking for, but oh well. Maybe next time. I'll check back in few hours. (is it just me or are there only trolls in movies and no trollettes? do they even exist?)

Pretty much this nowadays.
For fucks sake everyone calls each other a troll left and right.
Sometimes it doesn't even make any sense.

Back in my day, trolling meant something. Now it's just a trace of poor vocabulary.

Lets see if we have a winner for another undisclosed giveaway...
((Let me remind you, on Tuesday I made a thread Stomping contest, where a winner emerged. Yesterday we had a topic called, Fishing - Experts welcome to advise, no winner there. If you want you can search them in forum search.))
Before I say over you can still win (hint is in this thread).

OK, no winner again.
More of a luck I guess (which then did not require extra hints on my part apart from answering to his post), but the answer to bulletin 4 posted in this thread, on which I replied with post number 4.
So, part of the answer is his name. Second part is his most iconic cretion on this forum. Everyone should know the FUBAR thread he made. I don't know exactly how it was titled, but I'm sure you can find it. It has thousands of posts (something like Last commenter wins).

Whenever I see the word "troll" I instantly think Alternian, not internet troll.
Sucks being an Alternian.

First two definitions from the internet:
--Wikipedia
-In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
--Urban Dictionary
-One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument
So on a forum when someone posts unrelated things or weird things, flames and tries to ignite everyone, he will be soon declared a troll or a spammer. He will then be blocked or reported if possible. If not everyone will try to beat him at his game and at some point give up, realising they only gave him what he wanted, by only wasting their energy and time.
If we forget that such person only wants to make trouble, it is someone who stands out on a forum where "normal" discussions take place and knowledge is passed away, by doing something uncommon/notNormal for that community.
Now, what if you have a forum like this one, where trolls and spammers are in majority? When someone trolls he does not stand out, but actually blends in with the majority. In such case, the "normal" posts and threads stand out, because they are in minority.
In such community, is it still reasonable to call people trolls when that is a common and "normal" thing in that community? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to designate the minority? Since troll and spammer have clear definitions, a new word would be required of course.
