I'm not sure, but I think the actual definition is someone who posts deliberately antagonistic comments in order to start a drama for no reason other than for entertainment.

However, I and many others use it to mean just about anything, including but not restricted to people who ask stupid questions, people who make threads that we find annoying, people who purposefully follow other members around the boards just to provoke them, people who fail to attend appointments, people who talk about nonsense in therapy appointments to avoid srs bsns, etc etc etc. It is sometimes meant in an unpleasant way, but amongst friends is more casual and not offensive.

Does that help to explain it at all?

Lol Jenna had to vaguely explain that to me at the meet we went to recently. So yes, the above seems to be the definition from what I can gather!



Ride it out.

And in true trolling fashion I have neglected to mention the two main types of trolling that I actually engage in on these forums ;)
