I was just reading the thread titled "Selling Priority Mail boxes". The thread was locked because the originater was "trolling". What is that???

A troll is a person who intentionally starts a discussion with the attempt to disrupt or waste the time of a discussion board. They often throw in some rediculous statement and slink away, watching the resulting fight.

Lumy2bears (what about that third bear??? )
Offend is often the operative term.
Now there are this class of troller and then there is Jerry12. Ironic, funny, silly, sublimely sarcastic and always pulling in at least 5 to 10 serious posts.
This guy's an amateur. (We are just laughing at him..lol)

Sometimes, I think certain AW regular posters are trolls. They never have a positive thing to say. Or they never contribute anything positive but just try to twist your words around and argue with you.

For the people that have been around here a couple of years, do you think some of the recent "Trolls" are banned "Old Timers?"
I read this board at least a year before posting. Some of the Trolls of late bring back memories...
