Is it naughty?!

Nope, but your computer is. Bad, bad computer. I suggest you thwap it with a rolled newspaper.
(Well, actually I can't see the page either. Their server may be down.)

A troll is a poster on a message board, news group or other internet discussion group, whose only aim in posting is to annoy others and intentionally start flame wars. Could be that the TW definition would be more complex than that, seeing as we get a huge variety of trollish characters here.

I like to pay attention to the men behind the curtain.

My computer at work won't let me look at that.

Neither will mine now. Presumably some kind of problem with the server. It's a couple of definitions of a "troll" which are more or less the same as what SPF says.

You know, I always thought a troll was a guy who lived under a bridge and got really upset when goats tried to cross.

"They said they respected me, which means their judgement must be crazy"

Internet trolls prefer upsetting people with goatse.

Scratch My Itch

Well I too thought a troll was an ugly dwarf that lived under a bridge.

But It's also british slang for a walk

So im off for a nice troll around here.

Are we, perchance, talking about the word 'stroll'?

Samuel Johnson, Dictionary - (1) To roll; to run round.


If people were banned for not being sensible who would still be here?
