People who hate Firefly? 'Cause they don't seem like mighty nice people, from what I saw.

EDIT: Er, I've seen.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that you sit still and watch episodes of Firefly.

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

Trolls are people that insult others to get a response. There's a better definition, but... I'm lazy.

And, no, they're not just restricted to Firefly haters. They're everywhere.

EDIT: Guess I'm not so lazy after all.

"A troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion."

Well, ain't that just shiny.

Guess no matter where you are, there'll always be people there willing to bring you down for a bunch of laughs.

Resist the urge to troll. That is all.

Trolling is the last thing I'll ever do, trust me. (Can I use trolling as a verb? ;P)

Any of y'all ever been to the Serenity board at the IMDb? There's a group of trolls over there who just LOVE to talk about how the film failed at the box office.

Troll: a type of halfling, specifically a dragon/human hybrid. Often deformed, and typically with strong innate magical ability. With training, trolls can become powerful mages (due to the merging of dragon and human magic). Also called ogre, goblin, or orc.

Other halflings include Nephilim (human/faerie hybrid) and Elves (dragon/faerie hybrid).

Silence, thank you, that was a very useful link,
I particularly liked what they said here:

Quote:
Trolls crave attention, and they care not whether it is positive or negative. They see the Internet as a mirror into which they can gaze in narcissistic rapture.

this really pinpoints the problem..

it's funny, the discrepancy between how eloquent some descriptions of trolls are, and the actual troll's, who struggle to create a sentence >.<

A troll is something that annoys on purpose but you can have fun with if you know how.

The best way to have fun with a troll in a chat room is to ignore it. That makes them mad. I enjoy making trolls mad.
