Troll and Gargoyle.....?

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous messages to bait people into answering: they post things they KNOW are going to piss people off. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.

Disrupting a stable forum gives the illusion of power, and the attention they crave. To them, it doesn't matter if they get good attention or bad attention, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.

Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).

A troll or a gargoyle is a creature that does not judge anyone else, when they don't know what they are talking about, (Reference one of your questions tonight.)

mythical creatures. a troll lives in cave or under a bridge. gargoyles have wings, trolls don't. gargoyles will live on my rib cage real soon. i'm getting a pair tattooed on my ribs soon.

trolls are like little men/creatures that live under bridges. Gargoyles are like imp creatures made of stone .

Trolls live under bridges

Gargoyles are on the tops of buildings

I was wondering that myself actually! Hey, at least I read your question right hun!? LOL
