Troll?

I mean in forum terms of course - I'm new to this and just wondered!

A troll would describe a person who was intent on winding people up and causing arguements.

Well, given recent experiences I would say that description actually covers quite a few regular forum members.

How about 'a person whose ONLY intention is winding people up and causing arguments'?

Hence H&H forums policy 'dont feed the trolls'.
