  • Look at the etymology of 'troll'. Mystery solved. People always think 'wow, this is new...we made up something new...' Yeah, no ya didn't.

    • You always seem so angry. I hope I didn't imply I made up the word. I was just describing how it entered my life. My feeling about it, putting in the work to get someone to bite, seems to match up with your knowledge (that was interesting, by the way).

      I feel that I kind of understood what you and your fishing buddies were getting at. And I'm glad to know where it really came from. I'm still not sure what I did wrong.

      • Oh no, no!! I'm not angry. Apparently I come across that way, I don't know exactly why since no one has ever told me. By 'people' I didn't mean 'you' I just meant in general people are so inexperienced and apparently don't get out much or read much. To think much of anything today is really 'new' is silly to me. It's sad.

        • I think I read you wrong. It's so difficult on a website when you can't hear how people say things or see the look in their eye. Plus everyone seems to be snarking so it's seen as the default. What a world, eh?
