George,

Thanks for this. The word "trolling", the phrase "to troll", and what
defines "a troll" all seem to have different meanings to different people in
the Community. One person, writing in this thread, defined it as "stirring
shit up".

If trying to call attention to issues you feel are important to the health
of the Community - but you believe are being ignored - is "trolling" - then
I qualify. In fact, using my definition - my university offered a Ph.D.
program in Trolling (subtitled: stirring shit up) :-).
