Hi guys, it may seem a pointless Q but what is "trolling" I've just seen it mentioned in 1 of the posts, saying it had been reported, but it wasn't obvious what it was.

Just wondering, cheers guys.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Hello.

I, 'the accused', had to look it up too !!!! I had no intention of 'winding' anybody up, or offending/provoking the original 'poster'.
