Whats a troll?

I keep seeing this term. Is it like a fake account? Or someone posting fake stories? I'm not on a lot of forums and don't know if its an old term. A lot of this forum lingo is new to me, including weird spellings of words. ( ghey, teh, phail). So what is trolling and whats teh point? (hey, i got a misspelled word in, yay me)

from wiki-- is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.

Isn't this, like, everyone in the OT?

OT is a little different. People are in there using those posting habits for fun. It is the people who post baited topics in HW that people have a problem with.

We (along with Mods) look at OT as a place where almost anything goes.
