When I wrote ‘these forums’ I was not referring specifically to this forum.

Heh, heh John, I nominate you as (probably) the Forum’s oldest:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
