[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I've a hard time accepting that fellow
(at AOL) definition of 'trolling' or even if it is a valid thing. It
seems to me that what many people call 'trolling' is nothing more
than their explanation of why something they personally disagree with
should not appear on the net. I've been called a 'troll' a few times
and all I can say is that some of us speak and write the way we do
because it is our personality. Some of us (most of us, I would hope!)
write and express ourselves from our personal experiences, the fact
that sometimes what we have to say offends the virgin ears, eyes and
brains of some readers is an unfortunate by-product of that. The fact
that some people are offensive in this way should not mean we should
always dismiss them as a 'troll' rather than read what they have to
say (or not). I am still curious to know if anyone has ever met this
person or has some idea of his background, etc, other than just
dismissing him as a 'troll'. PAT]
