Wikipedia says it is "someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." The Urban Dictionary says a troll is "someone with nothing worthwhile to add to a certain conversation, but rather continually threadjacks or changes the subject, as well as thinks every member of the forum is talking about them and only them." Today and tomorrow, you can nominate TTAC's most eminent and egregious trolls. Simply enter their TTAC handle in a comment, with a short explanation, if you insist.
