I think Deneb posted some very moving posts about her painful experience being called that name on another board. Dr Bob subsequently declared it an uncivil word. You might try a search in the archives.
I think was originally used as a reference to trolling in fishing as in posting something in search of replies. But that's what we all do really isn't it?
I think it is a shame the word has come to have negative connotations on the internet I always think of those little troll dolls with the wild hair @@@@@:o)
I feel very upset after realizing the proximity of your question about trolls to my posts. But my feelings are my problem to deal with and I have my babble shields up so I guess I'll be okay.
