A troll is a mythological creature that is obnoxious and is bent on causing disorder within a community through mischief.
In internet term, it is someone that intentionally post messages that are volatile in nature to attain strong reactions from members within the internet community. Basically, it's someone that gets a kick out of driving people crazy.
I've had a few encounters with these critters in the past.

Re: Feedin' the troll, 'cause he's so darn hungry!!
This brought to mind a recent news story about a coroner in Toronto who presented "expert" testimony at many trials. His testimony led directly to the conviction of several individuals.
There must be thousands of defense lawyers who wish judges and juries believed as you do. Think of all money the government can save if they don't bother with forensic investigations.
He is now admitting that he lacked any of the proper training and education to be an "expert".
It's made a bit of a mess.
Does it not cause you to wonder who you can trust?

Like they do on the discovery channel.
Ah, yes, thank you.

Seems I've stumbled into their natural habitat.
Are these critters dangerous?

Can I pour you one?
Sorry,
I missed this.
So, are you going to answer the question or continue to give smartass, posturing responses
Honestly nator, I thought I did answer.
No smartass remarks from me in this post.
I promise.
You asked
How do you know he has learned something?
Do you have enough knowledge of conformation, breeding, nutrition, training, riding, competing etc. to be able to compare his knowledge and mine?
And I answered
Well,here Larni offers up kind of a repeatable experiment so to speak.
I then quoted Larni
I grew up with them and have many years of experience with crazy skittish beasts
and then I said
One repeated by me.
And
Anyone that spends time with horses is likely to describe them as just that, skittish.
I was speakin the way a plain folk might.
Well, this plain folk anyway.
Seein as how I as well have spent a day or two around horses I was able to confirm his statement with my personal experience.
Thats how I knew he had "some " experience.
So anyway,
you asked
You do realize that the person jumping the horse in my avatar photo is me, right?
And when I answered
Well, now I do.
I was "accepting your credentials" so to speak
How do you know if Larni has learned anything about horses, and do you have the expertise to test our comparative knowledge?
If yes, then let's go.
If no, then stop wasting my time and percy's bandwidth
As I said before, I thought I had already conceded that point to you.
Sorry
Uh, Nator.
Just one more thing.
posturing responses that are nearly devoid of content?
I contend that rather than being devoid of content my posts may in fact contain uncomfortable content.
Nator, really, did you read the OP?
Without that quote this thread would not exist.
You are my muse.
Get used to it.

Well, the moral seems to be that actual experts who do have the proper training and education are superior in expertise to people who aren't and who don't.

Re: Can I pour you one?
Again...
bored now.
Let me know when you are interested in discussing things thoughtfully and seriously. I tried to engage you, but you have an annoying habit of posting a lot of 'tude and not a lot of content.
Plenty of style with very little substance.

Can I pour you another one?
Let me know when you are interested in discussing things thoughtfully and seriously.
This has always been the case.
Why don't we try to start over.
Now I admit that commin out of the gate I may not have been all kind and gentle so I'll try and to soften it up a bit. The thing is, it just ain't a soft question that I ask.
If you recall, when we first met, You were discussing with Riverrat the fact that you have difficulty understanding him. You were contending that due to the fact that you had some education in the area of reading comprehension The problem must be that he didn't write clearly.
Sound true so far?
See, I have not had any trouble understanding Riverrat. I surely do not agree with everything he has to say, but understanding just ain't an issue. Now, I have no formal education so......
Is it possible, even a little, that you don't really care to understand Riverrat, or even me for that matter.

Based on Teen4Christ's definition, it seems that you, in fact, are a troll.

This ain't coffee, it's cold brown water.
Taz, sorry. I missed this with all that shoutin goin on.
To Hill Billy, how is what Paul wrote any different from "STHU in church" aside from the wordings?
Teen4Christ says.
I don't see anything there that would drastically change the fact that women are not allowed to speak in church and that it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
So I proceeded to explain.
Now when a person can't see stuff it can help to take a step back.
Or look closer.
For example, when I read the above statement I see that we are exactly two words away from agreement.
Two.
If you will indulge me I will slightly alter your statement and make it (in my opinion) perfectly agreeable.
I don't see anything there that would drastically change the fact that women were not allowed to speak in church and that it was disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
There, now we're gettin somewhere.
Look at this,
They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission,
More closely.
as the Law says.
Now,as far as I know,there ain't no law round these parts that says anything at all about womenfolk speakin in church.
So to me,
that passage says,
specifically,
that women can in fact speak in church provided it is legal to do so.
So you be carefull out there and don't you be lettin that big city education make you feel better than other folks.
So, Am I being clear?
Teen4Christ, Ican't.
Any comments?
