Can be either depending on context, but usually the former.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I am a fed and automatically thought "Senior Executive Service". Made for some fairly baffling posts...

What are "sock puppets and trolls"? Probably here somewhere but I don't feel like reading the entire thread. Thanks.


A "sock puppet" is somebody who post her opinion, and then posts again (and maybe again) to say she agrees with the previous post - which was her own opinion. She's making it look like others think she's reasonable, even if she's nuts (and I don't just mean the sock puppeting). It can be hard to identify "sock puppets" on an anonymous forum, but sometimes it's obvious from similar typing or grammatical errors, or speech tics.

A "troll" is somebody who just likes to push buttons and get everybody upset. The best strategy is to step around them, like a pile of dog doo, but sometimes I can't resist telling them they are idiots.


I love people like you. Seriously. We'd be friends if I knew who the hell you are. LOL!

Thank you! This DD etc. stuff is so affected, not to mention, incredibly unoriginal since everyone uses it.

You write that to "bump" the topic back up to the top. Useful if you want more eyes to see a thread and add their comments and opinions.
