In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

While most webmasters and forum administrators consider trolls to be a scourge on their sites, some websites (such as the BOL 'Cooler) welcome tolerate them.

sguB, am I a troll? (I can't be.. I have better hair!)

And here I thought a troll was a lurker, who gatehred dirt on on other posters. Like, hiding under a bridge...

Long live the trolls!!

wait, who's a troll?

:hands Kodos a mirror:

I think you can find one in here.

if you didn't have such a delicious sounding name I would be hurt by that

Provided to assist trolls in the process of self-examination.

<----- still confused by what a troll is

and that really sounds dirty

I still say I have better hair than a troll.

Thank you Bugs for providing this valuable resource.

Just a sneaking suspicion, you didn't read it, did ya?

Nice Deputy Dog pajamas, Bobby.

Nice hair, NeuTrollOps.

Bugs has changed his ways. He no longer ebraces trollism in the 'Cooler. Truff set him on the straight and narrow.

sguB, do you need a hug?


BB, you're supposed to be nice to me! I'm a fellow VOL!

Not sure, why?

an inanimate object cannot die, can it?

Pale, you're not thinking fourth-dimensionally!

You're a grump. Happy Friday!

controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages


So 99% of cooler posters are trolls?

like this ? (from this very thread, I might add)

let's all embrace our "inner-troll"!

so the cooler is animated?

Sorry Ops! But there are two things I do not take lightly - high quality H2O and my Deputy Dog pajamas.

(GO VOLS!! Beat Bama!!)
