what is a TROLL??

Question

Some people on here accuse me of being a troll, I don't even know what a troll is, what is it.??

Answer 1

Kalbo, a "troll" is someone who tries to deliberately sabotage a site, or certain members of a site. They do not contribute anything positive. They only want to tear down, trash people or trash a site. Why some people do this is strange. They are very immature people. They like being "anonymous", like the Grey Ghost or some fictitious person. But they cannot remain anonymous. They are known very soon. But they can sometimes do damage before they are blocked or barred from a site. Nobody likes trolls. We should all be on the watch for them and report them to the webmasters. Hope you are not one of them. In old Germanic stories/fables, the trolls were part of the Evil Forces who were against Wodan, the Gods, and Mankind. They were allied with Loki,(Norse ,Fenrir) the great cosmic Adversary who was pledged to destroy the Gods, the World, and the Universe. Trolls were way down in the heirarchy, though. Even men could kick their butt in a one on one. (lol)

Answer 2

Kalbo, I have noticed that your questions and answers are unavailable to be viewed and that you don't accept Email.
Why is that? This is generally how trolls operate. They post deliberately provocative or obscene questions and answer's. Most glory in their actions, which puzzles just about everyone who actually has a life. The best way to deal with a troll is to never respond in any way to responses or questions and to report them immediately. Then block them!
Hope you are not a troll but you exhibit all the signs. Although this was a valid question!

Answer 3

something which you clearly are

A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorph race from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, see Troller's Gill) – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. In Orkney and Shetland tales, trolls are called trows, adopted from the Norse language when these islands were settled by Vikings.

Nordic literature, art and music from the romantic era and onwards has adapted trolls in various manners – often in the form of an aboriginal race, endowed with oversized ears and noses. From here, as well as from Scandinavian fairy tales such as Three Billy Goats Gruff, trolls have achieved international recognition, and in modern fantasy literature and role-playing games, trolls are featured to the extent of being stock characters. They normally stink and are fat. And retarded of course .
