Getting paid to troll?

[RomanNose]

Well technically if you hire three private investigators and ask them to follow each other, they will be payed to troll each other.

I'm pretty sure most of you don't understand what troll means, or at least know that you're not using it entirely correctly.

It really makes me annoyed

At the moment I'm reading a bulletin board for a share in an oil company - trolls there will mislead others to increase or decrease demand for a stock. They can then profit from the price rises or falls.

A lawyer is simply someone with a law degree - surely people mean solicitors / barristers / advocates

The word 'troll' is the most massively over-used word in society today.

A 'troll' was somebody who would cause an argument between OTHERS, not argue himself. The best example of a classic troll would have been in the days of Usenet where a troll would crosspost a question about whether god exists between a Christian and an Athiest group. He'd only post once - but the respondants would fight amongst themselves.

Now it seems everyone who argues/doesnt agree with you/whatever is called a 'troll'.

Annoying.

People who post pathetic comments on Facebook RIP pages, people who argue ridiculously stupid points on internet forums and people are who downright insulting for the hell of it are not 'trolls'. They are 'morons'.
