No. I define a troll as someone who starts arguments for the sake of it,
just to wind people up, or to get the most replies to his posts.
No no, that sounds more like a 'September-ite' AKA an AOLer.
A troll (a real one, the ones that are fun to watch from a distance) is
the one who'll make *one* posting, and then retire to watch a thirty plus
posting flame-roast-thread comprised of the ensuing argument between the
*other* subscribers.
One distinguishing factor between a truly skilled troll and a beginner is
whether initial cross posting is necessary to fan the flames.
Sadly they've become an endangered species these days. Pretty much
displaced by gangs of cross-posting childish vandals (usenet equiv of
hooded chavs) who see a cascade as a mark of artistry.
