Another stupid question, but being new here, wtf is "trolling"?  I've seen it used as in "trolling" for an argument, or "troll patrol"

just curios.

[b]troll v.,n. To utter a posting designed to attract predictable responses or flames.  Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies"; which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite.  The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll.  If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it.[/b]

From the Usenet dictionary.  Still applies.

Well, the fact remains that the trolls are indeed everywhere.  Given the nature of this site, you get not only liberal trolls from Demoncratic Underground, but you also can get the white supremacist whacked-out conspiracy theory ridden trolls from their underground fallout shelters.

It's just one of those things that happen.

Then there is the infamous Blaze of Glory, an individual that seems to have really pissed off the moderators here, but has tried registering new screen names over and over and over again.  But that's another story.

Unfortunately, this is just one of the things that netizens simply have to deal with.  Kinda like how when you wash your car, it never fails that a bird shits on it.  But like you said, the vast majority of the members on this site are indeed very helpful and informative.

I'm not even going to take a SWAG at that one.  It's probably FUBAR anyway.  And BTW, my day has been one SNAFU after another!  I wish I were JAFO.

Scientific Wild Ass Guess -- You know, that thing you did on tests in college after waking up late with a huge hangover.
