What are "trolls" and how do you spot one? I'm tired of answering these peoples questions because, they really don't seem real.

In the context of the Internet, a troll is a person who makes inflammatory or comments, which by effect or design cause disruptions in discourse, or a post made by such a person. Trolling can be described as a breaching experiment, which, because of the use of an alternate persona, allows for normal social boundaries and rules of etiquette to be tested or otherwise broken, without serious consequences.

Trolls just are there to make trouble or to start fights.
They aren't interested in learning anything.
They get a kick out of fooling people or making people mad.
They like to instigate "mess."
Just answer questions for people who you have a sense are genuine.
The rest just are motivated by selfish ambition. Ignore them.

trolls are scary little dwarfy gnome-like creatures that live under bridges and scare the billy goats gruff when they try to cross to the other side of the river
:-D
