I've seen the terms "troll", "trolling" and "clone" frequently used on this site. Will someone please explain this to me? Thank you.

A troll asks inflammatory, baiting questions. If you are trolling, you are up to no good.
A clone is when a user impersonates another user to disagree with their politics.

A troll is a user like Honey Girl that has multiple IDs and spams the board with trash. A clone is someone that makes an ID to make fun of trolls like Honey Girl.

Trolls love to bait you with questions that insult your side of the argument while attracting lots of their buddies to agree with their ridiculous argument.
Trolls can be liberal or conservative and sometime are both and just messing with everyone.
Of course they also keep it interesting here on YA. So trolls aren't all bad.

Trolling is a pathetic attempt to attack someone by copying them. The person who does it is usually incapable of debating rationally.
See: God's Kitty for an excellent example above. Note it's a level 1, and I'm a level 6.
