Obviously.

 

 

NetLingo The Internet Dictionary

 

" troll "

 

 

 

a.k.a. " trolling "

 

Online it originally meant the act of posting a message in a newsgroup that is

obviously exaggerating something on a particular topic, hoping to trick a newbie

into posting a follow-up article that points out the mistake. In general, to

" troll " means to allure, to fish, to entice or to bait. Internet trolls are

people who fish for other people's confidence and, once found, exploit it.

Trolls vary in nature; here are four types of online trolls:

 

* Playtime Trolls: an individual plays a simple, short game. Such trolls are

relatively easy to spot because their attack or provocation is fairly blatant,

and the persona is fairly two-dimensional.

* Tactical Trolls: This is where the troller takes the game more seriously,

creates a credible persona to gain confidence of others, and provokes strife in

a subtle and invidious way.

* Strategic Trolls: A very serious form of game, involving the production of

an overall strategy that can take months or years to develop. It can also

involve a number of people acting together in order to invade a list.

* Domination Trolls: This is where the trollers' strategy extends to the

creation and running of apparently bona-fide mailing lists.
