In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception. This is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

As Res Ipsa has already pointed out, the regulars on this forum have interacted with each other for more than a decade on a regular basis. We know who the posters are here, and I cannot think of a single poster who fits that definition aside from the two morons who just joined. The closest thing we had to a troll was a poster named subgenius, but he left when the board switched over domains. Ajax isn't a troll usually, but he turns into one whenever he starts a thread and it is immediately shown that he's been dishonest.
I think lots of folks here troll one another from time to time. I think of a “troll” as someone whose purpose in posting in the forum is to troll other participants. But I think it’s more productive to talk about trolling as an activity that people engage in, as opposed to labeling people as trolls.

We’ll be voting electronically. Will the MAGA crowd feel comfortable with that?

They can get a little snow-flakey about things …

Wait … which one of us would be the winner that makes the MAGA folks riot?

Will they attack Shade’s house and burn down his mailbox?

Well, you may not be the biggest troll, but that’s the biggest shiv I’ve ever seen!

I voted three times, as did my dead mother and dead father.

As for the question at issue, what is the height and weight of each contestant?
Here I am.

My favorite food is fly. They’re pretty delicious, although the last few have been rather insipid.
