"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." From Urban Dictionary : 1: "Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can." 2: "Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards." Welcome to the Internet.

Both Sides of the Coin In every passionate disagreement there is a kernel of truth that the opposing side cannot refute. The illusion that keeps us apart is that these opposing truths are different and implacable; they are different sides of the same coin and to deny the other side is to deny your own. A coin, like life, cannot exist with only one side.
