We all know what a(n internet) troll is. It's someone who intentionally says something offensive or controversial within a forum or comment thread, just to elicit a reaction.
Unfortunately nowadays this term is often abused as an "argument stopper", where somebody calls someone a troll just because his/her viewpoint does not align with theirs, or that they refuse to believe what they said was true. That is not unwarranted per se, especially if the person unironically said something so stupid or misguided (e.g. earth is flat), but even a person with a reasonable point or who is telling the truth could be labelled a troll.

Get the Troll mug.When somebody on the internet starts trolling in a comment thread, it often elicits more people to come and troll (for the lulz). The larger the "troll train", the more trolls it will attract. This is known as the troll effect.
