trool: a person who enters a
blog comments conversation with the intent to hijack it or divert it from it's subject and
tone but does so in such a clumsy, clueless manner as to provoke laughter and derision rather than humorless animosity. etymology: the word, trool, was "invented" a few months
ago as a result of careless typing. it proved to be an immediate
hit amongst commenters at firedoglake from which it seems to have spread virally.
