Give us the exact definition of troll.

Words evolve and have multiple meanings you know.

Well, I was linking to an explanation of why I use certain words, and not others. The link was important to the current topic. Troll is such a new word, that people throw it around without having used it in childhood. So it isn't used when it is needed. It's like the new swear word, a word of attack, when it is supposed to be a word to nullify arguments.

A link which rambles on self indulgently about how people never move forward and always live in the past. Except your perfect self.

Then you continue to use outdated terms and refuse to move forward with our evolving language and society.

Irony would be too mild a term.

I don't think Ron has a problem with Lauren. But Sophie the witch does.

But you were saying you were always correct for using correct punctuation yet now acknowledge you are wrong in saying what you said about the word troll.

Like I said words change, evolve and have multiple meanings....Gay was happy in the 50's for example.

All major news channels and journalists use this word now referring to online bullies and spammers.
