Need DU instruction...

[Lincolngirl]

What is a Troll? I have an idea, but not sure,

and what does N/T mean?

[pokerfan]

It's more internet slang than DU specific

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

[flvegan]

1. n/t means "no text"

Meaning there's nothing in the message. So does "eom" or "end of message.

As for troll, that can have a couple reasons.

[Chan790]

2. Answers:

A troll is someone posting on a message board, not to be a part of a community, but to stir shit up and be a pain in the ass or disruptive.

n/t (and n/m) mean no text. That is...the subject line is the message in full.

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Flvegan is a troll. So post exactly the OPPOSITE of what he posts and you'll be okay.

Or not. He's a tricksy one.

[KitchenWitch]

12. I have heard he is a real wimp and has no "romantic" skills.

[LeftyMom]

14. I keep telling them they have a pill for that now, but that just makes him cry more.

It's sad, in a pathetic kind of way.

[LostinVA]

19. And, the idea of two lesbians snogging grosses him out

He HATES the girl-on-girl stuff.

How long did it take you all to get comfortable around here? Seems like a friendly place (relatively) and some have been around for a few years.

[Midlodemocrat]
