Hi! and What is Trolling?

[f1john]

Hi all! I've just signed up, and, like everyone I've agreed I won't do any Trolling, but to be honest I haven't a clue what Trolling is. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]"

Oh, and welcome

Hi again & thanks for the kind welcomes AND the education. You learn something every day don't you?

I was just completely foxed by Trolling, because I'm a child of the 60's, & it just reminded me of 2 of the characters from a Radio Comedy show called "Round the Horn". It was outrageous for it's time. From time to time you can hear repeats of it on the BBC website.

Anyway, I won't be Trolling in a 60's way or in a webby way

Thanks again

John

Dont worry John we all get Trolled and do some Trolling, usually by accident, its amazing how a discussion can go waaaaay wide of the original Tread starters intent! :devil:
