[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A troll is anyone who knowingly gives wrong/false/purposefully incomplete information.

A troll is anyone who restarts a conversation that's already been had 20 times before as if it's the 1st time they've asked the question, when they know they just want to stir the pot (even if the question is true/real).

A troll is anyone who sock puppets (replies to their own posts as if they are a new/different poster).

A troll is anyone who says outrageous or blatantly offensive things just to get a reaction.  (As opposed to someone who just has outrageous or blatantly offensive thoughts which they choose to share... in other words, on this point, [b]you can't tell them apart unless they keep going with it, in which case it's the troll, not the a-hole.[/b])[/quote]

Agree with your definitions but curious about this bolded statement. Why is this the case? I would have figured both the troll and the a-hole would persist in the face of disagreement...[/quote]

Good point, the a-hole will keep going too.  I guess you can't tell them apart whether it's a one-off crazy post or repetitive.

Meanwhile I should have also said, I don't think cheering for your school is trolling at all.  Only if your boosting includes any of the above is it trolling.  But being enthusiastic and maybe not giving a laundry list of every negative you know or have heard others say is NOT trolling all by itself.  Unless you lie outright or are misleading intentionally.[/quote]
