Scotnovel - You could Google it and find the official definition of internet troll. But it's basically those who post FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE of creating contention. They want to rile people up just to create in-fighting and people expressing their disgust at the things the troll says.

It's most likely people who do not do well in real life and cannot get along with others - people whose only way to feel good about themselves is to try and tear down others with name-calling and other attacks.

How do you define a troll? Seems like sometimes on some boards it is just a poster who doesn't happen to agree with everyone else especially on more controversial issues. I see the word used a lot, but honestly don't know what people mean by it.

You stated in your question the definition I see used for a troll here on the boards. If a new poster dares post an opinion that is not to the liking of some of the posters here...well then the mean girls will label and attach the new poster as a troll.

There are trolls a plenty on these boards, but today, Q is doing a Keurig giveaway. People have to create and account and post on the Kitchen Blog to enter. That's why so many newbies today.

QVC should monitor the boards, and remove the silly posts.

It's spring break here this week...lots of unsupervised children are home alone.
