Het hierdie informasie afgehaal van news.newusers.questions
Nou kan dié ng. se mense self besluit wie die TROLLE hier
is.
Kyk nou maar self wie partykeer 'n 'posting' doen om aandag
te trek en
'n reaksie uit lok.
Groetnis.

In addition people often refer to having someone man the
troll gate or
warn not to feed the trolls ... here is a neat description:

A troll is a post designed to disgust or shock a good
portion of a
group or simply to stir up the pot. "Troll" is a fishing
term meaning
to drag bait slowly through the water and catch fish on the
line. In
Usenet the troller drags his bait (offensive or pot-stirring
post )
through the group to see how many fish (indignant posts or
posts from
naive newbies) he can catch - those responding are his fish.
