one can also be accused of being a troll by posting a minority opinion or a provocative opinion. I have never started a thread here yet, but 2 times, I think, based on nothing more than the randomness of the date I joined here and the fact that someone disagreed with my opinion on a topic, I was accused of such. Maybe someone should post the 'Troll Rule', if indeed it has been codified here somewhere.

No, a troll is someone who posts attempting to do nothing more than provoke a response with no intention of an honest discussion. "Trolling for a response." Doing so at the sign-up date is an easy way of doing this because one has no history and no one can judge that the motive is nothing but to tweak the other members of the forum.

A disruptor is something different.

People often confuse the two.
