what is a troll

Statements like this are basically credibility killers for you (not like you had any left, anyway).

Trolling is hardly confined to the left....

Yep, trolling is pretty much always done by a lefty. I won't say that a righty would never stoop to trolldom, but for every righty troll you can show me, I can show you 25 lefty trolls. It's just very very rare that a righty does that sort of thing, and if they do, it's usually out of sheer boredom. Now.... don't go running off getting your panties in a bunch, digging up examples of righties who've switched their screen names.... that isn't "trolling" as it has been defined, that is just changing your handle. While lefties tend to do that more frequently as well, righties have been known to do it too.

And Dixie, as you can very well tell, leans off the chart to the right, you have to turn the page over to see where Dixie is at...

Yes, turn the page to the right, past Marxist Communist Socialism, and to Capitalist Conservative Consitutionalism, and there you will find Dixie, right smack in the center of the page!

Or you could be a troll like Rana and not even be on a page period. Every time she opens her mouth, she falls off her perch.

Schadenfreude, not to be confused with gazpacho, or ohcapzag!

Webbway is a troll.

Now, list 25 "lefty" trolls.

After that, I'll name another from the right.

he isn't a troll

would you agree that taking someone's username, avatar, signature and posts and representing that you are that person on another board is a troll?

yes or no
 
If webbway is not a troll, someone redefined the term somewhere along the way.

Webbway is a troll. He's a troll's troll.

webbway is not a troll, he is an antagonistic poster to liberals, which might lead you to believe he is a troll, but he has been around for a long time, posting under the same screen name, actually, probably longer than you have been posting under your current screen name, Lummox! You would actually come closer to fitting the definition of a troll than webbway.

LOL

Well, now that we see how "objective" you are about your assessment of trolling, it's easy to see where you can conclude that the left trolls more than the right.

Webbway is a troll, Dix. Didn't think that you'd be able to name 25 lefties for me...

Yes, it is technically a troll, but beyond that, it's an obsessed person. I've garnered a few of those in my time, and they are kind of creepy... you don't know how obsessed they might be... could they find out where you live or work? Could they harass your friends and family on facebook or myspace? You just don't know what they might be capable of, and this day and age, anything is possible, there are a LOT of real nutbags running around out there.

No, webbway is not a troll, he has been posting as webbway for longer than you've been posting as Onceler. You've still not given me an example of a right-wing troll. You have claimed someone is a troll when they clearly aren't. I figured you'd be like that about it.

"a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response"

That sounds a lot like webbway to me....
