The word 'troll' is in the dictionary. It has many differing definitions depending on it's usage. I agree with other posts that this word carries a negative connotation, so should be used sparingly; where proof exists that the poster has intentionally posted a question, comment or story as a fact, where factual evidence does not exist in order to invoke a reaction in their favour.
I like the transitive verb definition (1) according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: to cause to move round and round.
By this definition, would a person who posts a religious argument, with their only proof(s) for it's validity, one or more concept(s) found in holy scripture, be a troll?
