An internet troll is a person who uses anonymity to cause frustration, anger, impatience or to generally be disruptive for no seemingly good reason EXCEPT to be that nuisance. Most are soulless bastards, touched by daddy/priest, and instead of coping with that trauma in a healthy way, take out their aggression, anger, impotence, frustration on others. General troll behavior:
disruptive forum posts;
the posts are generally off-topic, or unnecessarily combative.
Each contemporary popular website has its own sub-genre of troll
-can be male or female, mostly males
Female internet trolls, are far more scary then their male counterparts. Female trolls seem to be better able to delude themselves into believing that their behavior is not only accepted online but that the traits that they find so well-received (they are not) will transfer well to real life. Usually ends badly.
EX_1...on a thread with 50 people reading/posting, the troll tries to be the first to make a comment about the picture attached; one or two people point out his/her foolishness and instead of saying he/she understands, is sorry, or just shutting up, the troll then proceeds to exacerbates the situation by further feigning ignorance, enraging those who do not see through the behavior. Later, when several people directly attack [or ignore] said troll, he/she responds by praising their comments, or by hitting the 'like/thumbs up' button [or by adding a laughing smiley].
