+despot&smitten Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Come to think of it, I don't know what a "troll" is either. Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 A troll is someone making a deliberately inflammatory post - just trying to stir things up. A sock puppet is someone using a secondary identity to hide their real identity. Bill ------------------------------- "Ah, take the Cache and let the Credit go..."

And FYI, "troll" has nothing to do with the fairytale creatures. It comes from the fishing term. Someone puts out some bait (some sort of inflammatory statement), just to see what fish will bite it.

Jeremy Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Snidely_Whiplash:Maybe they should be called "trawls" then? Trawling is trolling with a trawl. Trolling is a more generic term. It's also well documented and used in slang as "troll." Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Quote Link to comment

Um, right. "Leatherman" is the name on your birth certificate? Most people post in online forums using a "fake identity." Can you come up with a better definition of a sock puppet? --- LDR.

Well since we tend to Itendify with our original fake identity we then go one to make a second fake identiy to spout off so our first real identity isn't compromised. or something like that.
