Is Mike Greeberg of Mike and Mike in the morning a troll? He seems to want to tackle the controversial aspects of the sports story du jour.

Is Imus a troll?

Was Upton Sinclair a troll?

So people that deal in controversy are trolls? And these trolls are bad people?

Indy, help me out here. Explain to me what you are.

It's a name to throw out there to piss someone off. Therefor calling someone a troll, is trolling isn't it.

I troll on occasion and am dang proud of it. I do it to tick off someone I disagree with, tick them off enough to get them to come out and fight like a man. Some of them prefer to call names (troll) and run to the Bishop.
