What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll?
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

A classic troll is trying to make us believe that he is a genuine skeptic with no hidden agenda. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. Troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them.
While sometimes, he may sound like a stupid, uninformed, ignorant poster, do not be deceived! Most trolls are highly intelligent people trying to hide behind a mask of stupidity and/or ignorance! They usually have an agenda. Very few trolls come out of pure skepticism.

De meeste trollen zijn minder intelligent, meer geslepen, gefrustreerd, rellen om te rellen, uit gewoonte.
Omdat ze zelf de vaardigheden niet hebben maken ze kapot wat anderen maken.
Aandacht, zich beter voelen om zoveel mogelijk schade aan de richten.
Z|e vinden het prachtig zich aan te sluiten bij andere trollen.

Stelling al weer bewezen feit.
