An internet “troll” is a reference to an individual who’s only purpose in life seems to be to insult, rebuke, or just make non-nonsensical commentary. You can find these trolls in forums, in comment sections of blogs, Facebook comments etc. There is some belief that many are just people that have little to do with their time and others are just purposefully destructive – and – some are paid to be.
It is rumored that company’s hire trolls to visit the websites and publications of their competitors and try to publicly trash them in an effort to undermine their business efforts.
In some cases; trolling can be considered a form of harassment.
