This is probably a stupid question but I have seen a lot of people here use the term Trolling or “he is a troll”. What is a troll? I assume by context that perhaps it is someone who has two usernames and is posting in one thread? Trolling has a totally different drug meaning where I am from so it caught my attention. Thank you in advance and I apologize for my ignorance.
A troll is someone who come to the boards to make a general nuisance of himself. Such as insulting people for no apparent reason, or asking questions purely for the purpose that they will cause trouble.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s also trawling, which I have equated to posting just to get flamed or some other heated response. Maybe they’re the same thing. Maybe not.
I’m curious as to what the “drug meaning” of “trolling” is.
Here’s a pretty durned good definition of a troll and a synopsis of trolling written by our very own moderators DavidB & Eutychus55. Trolls & Trolling.
Wrong forum… but the sheer possibilities… such a damn shame
Here in Florida using Ecstasy is refered to as ‘rolling’. When one Does acid (tripping) and is also on ecstasy (rolling), they are ‘trolling’.
Thanks to everyone for the answer.
