I saw the term "troll" used recently - and have no idea what it means. (Gosh, I feel stupid!) Can anyone tell me how it relates to Y answers and other forums?
Thank you in advance for educating the "clueless" girl!

You're a noob, l2internet.
^^The above response would be a typical "troll" response. It's someone who goes from forum thread/post to post and makes brief statements with the sole intent of insulting or angering the original poster.

Trolls - they are people who misuse things on the Internet - like Yahoo-Answers - for their own purposes which is to the detriment of those people trying to use the websites features for what they were intended for.
Good Luck!!!
