What would be a good word for someone (other than Troll) that only ever posts negative , antagonistic or snide comments on forums?

Troll is both overused and often wrongly used and words like antagonistic , misanthrope or bigot feel too broad in definition?

 

[R.P.L]

Dunno. You should probably just ignore them and go out for a walk instead as the weather's nice.

The practise you're describing is called 'flaming'.

So a 'flamer' would be the most apt word.

flamer
/ˈfleɪmə/

noun

1. 1.
   INFORMAL • COMPUTING
   a person who directs a vitriolic or abusive message at someone on the internet or via email.
   "it's critical for bloggers to get used to flamers"

I thought a flamer was a word for a homesexual?

It's both, apparently.

The term ‘Troll’ is overused on this forum and incorrectly used in almost all cases. It just seems the standard retort for the flakes who can’t cope with what you say...

Nobber!?

Sardonicism

The meaning of trolling got so twisted over the last few years to basically mean just harassing people online.

Real trolling is a art

Never ignore anyone, it's too much fun.

Flamer is an old word. I remember hearing other homosexuals use it to describe more flamboyent gay men. Something like "look at that raging flamer, he rocks that floral shirt"
I dont believe its a derogatory term, but could be wrong

 

[Screenbeat]

Huh!! Never heard it used before. I'll try it out.

I'll ask Bart, see what he thinks

 

[Diddums]

Diddums. The correct term is Diddums.
