2. Would you please give a link for where you were called a troll?

Accusing another member of DU of being a troll is against DU rules. Please use the "alert" link on any posts you believe violate this rule, so the moderators can evaluate it.

4. Definition

troll

As used on the Internet:
1) As a verb, the practice of trying to lure other Internet users into sending responses to carefully-designed incorrect statements or similar "bait." In a real example, a Usenet newsgroup contributor mentioned the discovery of an ancient African carving containing a list of prime numbers. The contributor further listed some of the prime numbers found and included some numbers that, in fact, are not prime numbers. Other contributors then sent serious replies, correcting the list of prime numbers cited.
