In Internet slang, 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[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
You are not the troll here eric and usually offer some insight or another valid perspective on topics and issues. The original poster would be considered a troll in this case as the original post was about the usefullness, or therefore lack of with guides and then inflamed further with the usual catch and release stuff. The original post seems to be made up of well....... fabricated facts, figures and interviews. This is obviously a forum with many guides, tournament fishermen, catch and release advocates and the forum is even owned or hosted by Lilly a fishing guide. SO the post and the poster in this case is a troll with the general purpose seeming to be to stir up a desired emotional response.
Most forums tend to discourage trolls, but some welcome them. The NY Post is one forum reputed to enjoy the trolls and have fun. Trav is generally one of the more enjoyable trolls I have met, but still never seems to add much other than fun to the forum.
By quoting your post and the post you quoted and adding +2........means I agree with you and your quoted post. Sorry if I wasn't clear and offended you.
