I keep seeing posts labeled as “Troll,” or “Forum Troll.”
What does it mean?
It’s a guy who throws random views around to try and evoke a flamewar, i.e., he “trolls” for angry responses.
Someone who posts to piss people off, or totally derail the topic that is being discussed.

A “flamewar” or “flame” is when people start fighting on line. Kind of embarassing for everyone involved.
In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, most often in the form of posting inflammatory, off-topic, or otherwise inappropriate messages.

New member ‘dzambito’ would be the perfect example of a troll.
