Troll depiction.
A common reaction to trolling.An internet troll is an insult used by hypocrites who can be either:
A person who brings life to a tired, dull internet message board by purposeful attempts to start flame wars or Internet drama by posting comments that are patently absurd, yet still inflammatory enough to enrage the stupid, irrational and humorless. The moment someone points out that the troll in question was just gunning for a reaction usually results in a fire drill. For a more in-depth example of trolling, click here.
A person that throws around the troll insult to: anyone who defeats them in an argument, anyone points out facts the real troll doesn't want people to know, or someone the real troll picks at random to stick falsely with a troll label for sheer lulz. This second type of troll is 99.999% of all trolls now and is often called an Anti-troll.

I used to catch fish that way. But, Mott is after a different catch. I am out of her/his game.

Mott, when you say something so stupid as "just curious as to where you draw the line. Are you ok with homosexuals? animal sex?", what do you expect people to think? I'm not the only one to saw that as an offensively racist remark.
I don't speak for anyone but myself. However, everyone reads the boards. That's why I said "Tell us all". If you had basic common sense, you should have been able to figure that out.
You're a typical troll, you're not contributing any ideas or opinions, you're posts aren't interesting at all, they're just random responses to stir up people for a cheap thrill. You've just joined Shoals Lover on my ignore list.

Nash, how do you block someone's posts? I cannot stomach this guy.
And the ultimate troll phrase ...Troll alert!
That is used in this concept (one of the rules of a flamer is to accuse the other of doing what you are doing FIRST)
