Quote ="McLaren_Field"I think a good yardstick is to use an old fashioned pub tap room as an example.
You know the sort of place, Friday night, several tables all frequented by the same people every week, some playign doms, some playing darts, some just moaning about the price of fish and how their rugby/football team is rubbish and the coach doesn't know what he's doing...
Then some complete stranger walks in and in a very loud voice tells everyone that they are all idiots, their team is rubbish, the town they live in is rubbish, they are rubbish and their lives are rubbish, and Wigan is so much better.
In a pub tap room situation that person would be out of the back door so fast that his feet wouldn't hit the floor and he'd wake up in a dustbin on Saturday morning with an interesting collection of black eyes and broken teeth.
When that cap fits to a user who appears on any of the RLFans forums, then that is your troll, and he ends up in the virtual bin, and the strange thing is, when you meet these people in real life they are usually the shyest most inconspicuous people you could ever wish to meet, the very last people who would walk into a pub tap room and do what they do online.'"
oh dear
