A troll is someone who posts to simply gain attention. They will usually whine and instigate flame wars. Trolls contribute nothing useful and often make fools of themselves.

How to handle a Troll.
The way to handle a troll is:
1. Ignore Him. Please do not feed the troll, it only makes them "grow".
2. Do not vote it as a Thumbs down (feeding), but if needed, click on the Hey Mod link.
When brought to a moderators attention (Hey Mod), they can remove the offending post with little to no disruption in the conversation.
