-[[category:concepts]][[category:rhetorical manipulations]]A [[discussion troll]] (or just "troll" for short) is a person who disrupts a conversation with irrelevant or inflammatory comments with intent to provoke an emotional overreaction from, and/or waste the time and energy of, opposing parties, rather than engage in serious and honest discussion intended to work cooperatively towards arriving at (or closer to) [[truth]]. (The act of making such comments is therefore known as [[trolling]], and an individual comment may also be referred to as a "troll".)
-This technique is typically found in text-based discussions on the [[internet]] (most often in the reader comments on a blog post), where others in the conversation cannot use out-of-band communication (e.g. facial expressions, body language) to reach a consensus as to whether or not trolling has occurred.
-===Purpose===
-While some trolls may be in it just for the fun of causing a disruption (the internet equivalent of kicking over an anthill and then retreating to a safe distance), some trolls may be methodically attempting to prevent productive conversations on certain topics -- either because of a personal preference, or because they are being materially compensated for doing so.
-More study is needed, as there have not yet been any [[proof|proven]] cases of this sort of trolling. There certainly have been cases where people were paid to express certain opinions in open discussion areas, so paid trolls would seem a logical next step. They would be harder to detect, and might be able to get certain topics declared "off-limits" due to their inflammatory nature -- when in fact it is the troll who has been doing most of the inflaming.
