[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Railroading_Brit</i> <br /><br /> <br /> <br />Trolling: when someone joins a web forum with the specific intention of posting controversial topics and creating conflicts in a previously peaceful forum - such individuals are known as Trolls. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Don't overlook the potential that established members some times (even ofter, in some instances) create these "sock puppet" 3rd person personalities, just to screw around with other members who rub them the wrong way. <br /> <br />It happens that way an awful lot. <br /> <br />Suppose member "A" is an extremely popular member among all members <br /> <br />Suppose member "B" is as well. <br /> <br />Suppose a personality conflict brews up between A & B. <br /> <br />A cannot pick on B directly without perturbing some of B's friends (and looking like spectacular jerk) so,..he does the next best thing..He invents a new membername to play the "jerk" against his adversary.. <br /> <br />There are dozens of variations on this old game.
