First, let's define a troll:
A troll (n.) is a creature with no clothes and lots of time. They don't work or produce anything of worth. The life's purpose of a troll is to spread its manure and other bodily waste around other people's work, and having nothing valuable to add or gonads to comment, leaves a rating of 1 in its wake.
B troll (adj.) stinky, smelly, without worth or valuable
C troll (intransitive v.) to make make mischief while maintaining anonymity.
ex. A troll trolls in order to rank low a trolled person of worth because the trolling troll is miserable cranky, and ugly, and has no other value.
Note: A troll would be a good candidate for a heart or lung donor keeping in mind to have been tested for various diseases such as stinkiness, diarrhea of the typing fingers, and other communicable diseases. There is no known cure for cowardly trolls, but they are fun to push down the stairs like a slinky. He makes a wonderful toy.

I don't let trolls bother me, I don't care if they rate me a 1 or not, in fact mine seem to have been leaving me alone lately.
Mooch

Cute!!!!!! =)
Too funny! However, according to Norwegian legend, trolls are symbols of good luck!!!!!!
Nora,
It is good luck because I get views, and obviously annoyed some troll. What could be better.
rofl.... love it!
I'll take the trolls - the views all add up as points for me! LOL
Yup, same here :)
cute, ma'am.
very, very cute. -i never pay attention--may've been struck once or twice, but, y'know...
Ah yes....the trolls...I'm waiting for one to hit me again.
Christ on a cracker if it bothers you so much turn the ratings off.
I dont rate, I dont care what I am rated, I dont care what your rating is, I dont care what other peoples ratings are.
LMAO! I havent heard that term for a while! I just leave my raitings on, and whoever wants to give me DB1s, then so be it, its more views for me :)
As my granny would say 'Jesus on a raft with crackers!'
realy?
Darren that is so wrong on so many levels.
Now I will have nightmares about throbbin Robin V.
Thanks.
lol
Lori are you talking about that woman who was going to have both her legs amputated and spent her foodstamps to feed her dogs?
That woman was a trip.
Darren you are badddd.
Sharon yep that is the one.
yes you are Lori but is it bold?
Darren --- If Robin were here SHE WOULD BE TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND TELLING YOU TO STOP MAKING FUN OF HER BY POSTING HER ICON HERE FOR OTHERS TO LAUGH AT... so, just wanted to let you know that... LOL
lol
thats to funny
That troll is pretty scary. Unlike the Gather ones who hide behind low ratings like cowards.
10 for you!
LOL
The first thing we do is kill all the trolls (Apologies to Shakespeare!)
No violence, Kerrell. but I do think I have figured out my cowardly troll. You are awesome, and we don't agree. Same with Lori. I hardly ever agree with her, but we can be friends.
I have seen thee anonymous troll lately. Giving our dear Robert low rates.
And, now I've seen it for me!!
On my most recent posts, I've received a 7 and an 8 rating respectively.
Shock, gasp.
If I don't low rated, I ain't doin my job right and need to step it up.
LOL
Yeozah! LOL
