What is a Troll???? I was taught as a young child that a troll is a hideous creature that live under a bridge that wants to harm children.
Apparently, there are a few subscribers to Free Republic that consider themselves the Troll Patrol.
Some authors of Posts to the Free Republic website are accused of being "Trolls". These people, whom call themselves the Troll Patrol, are trying to intimidate Americans who are wanting to express their thoughts and concerns to keep their thoughts to themsleves. This is an attempt to enforce censorship or pressure someone not to express themselves.
I would like to say to the Troll Patrol that this in not the old USSR or Nazi Germany in the 40's. This is the United States of America and we do have freedom of speech in this country.
If you want to find trolls, I suggest that you visit Sherwood Forrest there are probaly a few lurking around.
God Bless the United States and Protect Us From the Troll Patrol.

Trolls often post, and then don't stick around for the discussion.

What is a troll?
Think Helen Thomas. Think Madaline Albright.
On second thought, don't.
You'll knock yer eye out, kid.

I don't think sidebar abuse automatically makes one a troll.
But I'm not sure kittens can smell the difference....

Disagree. There are many regular and long-standing trolls. Feel free, but the fact that there are longstanding trolls doesn't undermine my observation that just-joined folks are those most likely to be troll-zotted.

Are you talking about the people who ping to the "I am involved in this news story" posters?

We used to have a troll that could make the whole screen move in marquee and posted ugly pictures.
He was of the rare species trollius disruptus maximus.

A troll has proven him or herself to BE a troll by posting a rather goofy thread and NOT coming back to defend his or her actions.

Trolls inhabit the Demonic Underground, and address each other as "Hey, DUmmy!" :-)
